Key bindings
All keys of Create Managed Railways, their defaults and when they work, plus mouse actions worth knowing.
CMR's keys are listed in Minecraft's Controls settings under the category Create Managed Railways, with the names below. All of them can be changed there.
Keys on the train
| Default | Name in the Controls menu | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| H | Horn (on a train) | Sounds the horn. |
| L | Switch exterior lights (on a train) | Head and tail lights: automatic → always on → off. |
| I | Switch interior lights (on a train) | Interior light: automatic → always on → off. |
| P | Raise/lower pantograph (on a train) | Lowers the pantographs by hand, or releases them again. Needs the mod Pantographs and Wires. |
| V | Acknowledge vigilance device (on the train) | Acknowledges the Sifa. |
| B | PZB Acknowledge (on a train) | PZB Wachsam. |
| N | PZB Release (on a train) | PZB Frei. |
| K | Open PZB display (on the train) | Opens the large PZB window with lamps, speed and supervised speed. |
| G | Open train radio (on a train or with a handheld radio) | Opens the radio: on a train with a cab radio as that train, otherwise with the GSM-R handheld radio. |
| J | Train radio: answer / hang up | Answers a call or hangs up without opening the window. |
The train keys only work while you are on a train whose driver's console has the matching device, for example the
Horn Button for H or the PZB Panel for B and N. The server checks this. The
radio keys also work off a train with the GSM-R Handheld Radio in your inventory.
Driving itself uses Create's own keys: with a Driving Lever in the console, right-click the lever to take over the train and drive as with Create's controls. See Trains.
Talking over the radio
With Simple Voice Chat installed you talk over the train radio with Simple Voice Chat's own push-to-talk key. CMR adds no key of its own for this. See Train Radio.
