About this Mod

Create: Smoke & Buffers

This is a Create Mod Addon with the sole intent of adding some decoration
blocks for create trains.

Features at the moment:

Smoke Stacks

They follow the same placement rules as Steam Whistles. So have fun with half
block tall Smoke Stacks or even 6 block tall ones.

Planned Features

Buffers

Duh, it's in the name! I plan to add a buffer block to add to my train
carriages, maybe following the obvious Steam 'n' Rails
inpiration and make a copycat version too.

Train Headlights

I have no proper plan/inpiration for them, but I want to have them.

Trimmable Smoke Stacks and More Smoke Stacks

I have this vision of using the trim material system to add different trims to
the smoke stacks, and also I plan to add more styles of smoke stacks.
