Create Train Announcements

Train Station Announcements
Bring your Minecraft train network to life! Train Station Announcements adds immersive, automated Text-to-Speech (TTS) announcements to your Create mod stations and trains. Whether you’re building a massive metropolitan transit hub or a simple countryside shuttle, your passengers will always know exactly where they are—and where they’re going.

✨ Core Features
Dynamic Announcements: Automatically trigger TTS announcements for arrivals, departures, and approaches at your named stations.
Immersive 3D Audio: Announcements are emitted from the train itself, providing realistic spatial audio that fades as the train passes.
Optimized Performance: Uses client-side Piper TTS with disk caching. The server only sends the text, keeping your multiplayer server lag-free.
Fully Configurable: Every aspect is customizable. Adjust volume, audible range, minimum intervals, and approach distances.
Integration Ready: Built-in placeholders for {train_name}, {current_station}, and {next_station}. Supports custom schedule text and optional waypoint integration with Steam ‘n’ Rails.
