Step inside a world where engineering meets imagination. The Polar Express Addon introduces a fully modeled train system that captures the look and atmosphere of the original story. Players can ride, drive, or decorate the train, turning it into a centerpiece for creative builds or seasonal adventures.

The addon’s design focuses on smooth animation, weather interaction, and compatibility with all MCPE platforms. It’s built for players who love realism but want simple setup and stable performance on both mobile and desktop devices.

Key Features – What Makes This Addon Stand Out

This addon isn’t just a visual model — it’s a working train system for Bedrock players. Each feature adds realism, performance, and creative freedom to your game.

Realistic Design and Detailing

• Faithfully recreated locomotive, tender, and passenger coaches.

• Detailed interiors with lighting, seats, and animated doors.

• High-resolution textures optimized for Bedrock Edition.

Dynamic Weather and Smoke Effects

• Activate smoke by renaming a seat “thepesmoke.”

• Subtle steam and lighting make it perfect for winter biomes.

GRTC Controller Integration

• Supports forward, reverse, and teleport functions.

• Smoothly navigates curved or complex tracks.

Multiplayer and Passenger Support

• Up to 24 passengers per coach for large group rides.

• Ideal for community servers, classrooms, or roleplay maps.

Holiday Ambience

• Designed for seasonal worlds with warm lighting and festive atmosphere.

How It Works In-Game – Driving and Exploring

Controlling The Polar Express Addon is simple and rewarding.
Use the following commands to summon your train:

Combine this with creative commands or redstone triggers to automate rides and cinematic cutscenes — perfect for holiday adventures or multiplayer events.
