Problem

A carriage is one rigid body, placed and tilted to match the track under its centre. On bends and changes of grade under a long car, the wheels at each end leave the rail. In the lab, a passenger car across the top of a 10° slope had one bogie's wheels dipping under the rail and the other's floating.

Change

Real coaches rest on two bogies that pivot independently. With the new optional behaviour.train.bogies naming a car's two bogie bones:

  • Body: the car rests on the rail under each bogie centre (Bogies.bodyPose). The body lies along the straight line between those two rail points, and its origin sits where it would along that line.
  • Bogies: each bogie bone gets a rotator and turns and tilts to the rail under it, relative to the body (Bogies.follow).
  • Couplers: cars on bogies skip the coupler snap from fix: keep passenger car couplers connected through bends #36. Their couplers swing to meet, as real ones do.
  • Unloaded models: until the model and its bones load, the car falls back to rigid placement.
  • Model requirements: bogie bones must pivot at the bogie centre, and the body rotator must pivot at the model origin. The passenger car's pivots are fixed in TF-Minecraft/ServerAssets#18.
  • Bundled config: the bundled passenger_car.yml sets bogies: [bogey, bogey2]. The coal car has one fixed wheel frame, so it stays rigid.

Tests

  • New BogiesTest: straight level track matches the old placement. Across a change from level to 10°, and round a 25-block-radius bend, both bogie centres land on the rail. Past the end of a track the bogie carries on straight. It also covers the bogie turn angles, including across ±180°.
  • mvn verify: 542 tests pass.
  • Lab: tested on the CachyOS lab copy of the Main line together with Spin train wheels the way the train moves, at its speed #38 and Keep coupled cars on their own rail height #39. On a 10° grade change, the front bogie tilts onto the slope and the rear one sits on the level.

Merging: this conflicts with #38 at the TrainHandler constructor and in passenger_car.yml, where both add lines at the same spot. The resolution is to keep both.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Train carriages can use independently positioned bogies to align the body between the rails, including on curves and slopes.
    • Bogies follow the selected track route and can continue straight beyond the end of a non-looping track. Carriages without ready bogies retain spline-based placement.
    • Passenger cars now use two bogies. Equal bogie offsets and rails laid in opposite directions are handled during placement.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Train cars can use configured bogies to derive body poses from track geometry. TrainHandler resolves bogie rail poses along the consist route and uses them for placement and follow updates when available. The passenger-car configuration names two bogie bones.

TrainHandler resolves bogie rails along the selected route, including continuation beyond non-loop track ends. It uses bogie-derived poses when rails are available and spline-based poses otherwise. Rigid coupler-pose adjustment applies when rails are unavailable and missing spacing is within the stated threshold.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cc1c8

A bogie-equipped car can be misplaced when its two rail samples coincide on a loop or intersection. This is a narrow geometry case, so mergeability risk is low, but the fallback should be corrected.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cc1c8

Bogie placement is limited to configured cars, but two geometry and lifecycle cases can leave a carriage positioned inconsistently with its rails. No external privilege escalation path was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Replacing a car's model rebinds bogie rotators but retains offsets measured from the old model. If the new bones or scale differ, subsequent route resolution and body placement use stale geometry instead of recovering to a coherent placement state.
  • Low · reliability · inferred: If distinct bogie offsets resolve to nearly the same position, body placement returns the front rail as the model origin without accounting for that offset. The car can therefore be placed inconsistently with its resolved rails rather than taking the rigid fallback.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated effect is on configured vehicles' placement and bone rotation within the train system. The examined route-to-placement path does not establish a new cross-service or privileged sink.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The normal production caller requires a ready model and resolvable route rails before selecting bogie placement. Bogies.follow does not itself enforce those conditions for other in-process callers; their runtime reachability is unknown.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The rigid fallback contains initial model-loading failures, but cached readiness does not revalidate geometry after model replacement; that limits recovery if replacement bones differ.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — On model replacement, revalidate bogie bones and offsets before using bogie placement again, with a defined rigid fallback if validation fails.

so on bends and changes of grade the wheels at each end left the rail. With
behaviour.train.bogies naming its two bogie bones, a carriage now rests on the
rail under each bogie: the body lies along the line between them, and each
bogie bone turns and tilts to the rail under it, as real coaches do. Such cars

Bogie bones must pivot at the bogie centre and the body rotator at the model
origin. The bundled passenger car uses it.

A car can straddle a junction, with one bogie on the stem and the other on the
branch. Walk from the car's centre along the consist's route to each bogie with
TrackJunctionTravel.rewind, carrying on straight past the route's ends, and use
those two rails for both the body pose and the bogie turns. A bogie on a track
laid the other way turns as if its rail faced the body's way.

🟡 Minor · Reset bogie rotations for rigid fallback placements. · TrainHandler.java:831-838

src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/vehicleframework/vehicles/handlers/TrainHandler.java:831-838
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reset bogie rotations for rigid fallback placements.

When a ready bogie car receives bogieRails() == null, applyPlacements() applies the rigid body pose but does not update the bogie bones. A previous curved placement can therefore leave non-zero bogie yaw or pitch active. Reset the bogies when the placement has no rail poses.

Two bogies at the same offset cannot set a body's angle, so such cars stay
rigid. The degenerate pose also keeps the model origin back along the rail by
the shared offset instead of on the rail point.

🟡 Minor · Shift the coincident front rail by -front. · Bogies.java:117-129

src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/vehicleframework/vehicles/handlers/train/Bogies.java:117-129
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Shift the coincident front rail by -front.

When distinct offsets resolve to the same position, bodyPose returns the front rail as the body origin. The front bogie then misses its rail by its configured offset. This path is reachable because TrainHandler calls bodyPose whenever both rails resolve. The rigid-placement fallback does not run.

Use the same local-tangent offset contract as the equal-offset branch:

Suggested fix
 		double length = along.length();
 		if (length < 1e-6) {
-			return a;
+			return shifted(a, -front);
 		}
