Simple Train

IMPORTANT NOTE: the art is (likely) temporary as i have someone working on it and as soon as its done, i will swap it out. but i dont know how long thats going to be and thought that maybe you appreciate already being able to test it as its practically done from a code perspective.

This mod adds a simple train to the game.

IMPORTANT: How does it work?

- You can build the locomotive, the passenger wagon and the cargo wagon all at the anvil. (recipe prices are probably not final yet, looking for input on what to tune them to to have them decently expensive but not overly so)

- Build a locomotive and lay tracks, the same ones the minecart uses

- now, if you only want the train without wagons you are already done.

- if you want wagons, you can build them as well in the anvil

- then you can right click the locomotive to open a small inventory of currently 8 slots

- each slot accepts a wagon and the order in the inventory will be the order the wagons spawn behind your locomotive

- there are passenger wagons, which can be used to drive around with your multiplayer friends as a player can just hop onto them (or off) however they please. basically as with the locomotive itself except the wagons have no movement controls enabled. there is no mask yet so a player thats hopped on is invisible for now, as im not going to make a mask for temporary art.

- cargo wagons have their own inventory (currently 20 slots, subject to change). they can either be used from the inventory like any pouch or, when added to the train, can be right clicked while standing close to them, so essentially like a moving chest.

- theres 2 ways to spawn the train, hust like with the vanilla minecart (which this is essentially a variant of)

1. you left click the locomotive in inventory and then "drop it" onto tracks. this way the train and its wagons will be on the track permanently (or until you destroyed it with an axe, then it drops itself as item again)

2. equip it in your mount slot and just press F (default mount key) when standing on tracks to spawn / despawn it including all wagons.

- the cargo wagon inventory should be persistent in any case of these cases

Additional notes:

the game itself has no coupling logic for additional mounts (which the wagons technically are) so i made a "follow" sync myself. in singleplayer it works somewhat decently in sync, but its still sometimes a bit janky. im not sure if i can do this any better with the tools at hand. i have not tested the stability of the coupling / syncing on dedicated server and might look very janky depending on ping. you just gotta test it out and let me know.

As always, if you find any bugs, let me know so i can fix them. If you have a good idea for a recipe or hell, are an artist and want to provide proper art / animations for it, please let me know.
