Laendli Transport | Steampunk Vehicles Mod

Laendli Transport drops a fleet of turn-of-the-century vehicles, firearms and adventuring gear into Minecraft, all rendered with an early 1900s sci-fi flair. Every motor coach, airship and steamboat runs on coal and water, so survival progression still matters even as you cross oceans and climb above the clouds.

Steam-Powered Vehicles for Land, Sea and Air

The vehicle roster is the heart of the mod. Right-click any vehicle to climb in and dismount with sneak, exactly like other rideable mobs. Each one burns coal for fuel and sips water, and watercraft refill their tanks automatically while afloat.

• Basic Motor Coach. A versatile, reliable daily driver for everyday travel.

• Freight Motor Coach. Haul cargo in bulk with the workhorse of the fleet.

• Travel Motor Coach. A long-distance coach built for crossing far-flung biomes in comfort.

• Half Track Offroad Vehicle and Cargo Sleigh. Punch through rough terrain, then hitch the sleigh to bring supplies along for the ride.

• Roller Engine. Part tractor, part road builder. Load planks to lay ramps and stairs into your roads, or load seeds to plant crops as you drive.

• Airship. A majestic dirigible for sky travel, with no buggy insect wings or rockets attached.

• Cloud Coupe. A nimble, elegant flying machine for gliding between the clouds.

• Steam Boat. A classic steam-powered cruiser for rivers and lakes.

• Cruise Steam Boat. A larger, more lavish steamboat for comfortable water voyages.

Weapons, Tools and Survival Gear

Combat and survival get their own toolkit. Most firearms reload or aim with the R key, so read the tooltip on each one before a fight.

Cosmetics, Structures and Rare Finds

Beyond the vehicles and weapons, the mod seeds your world with dapper cosmetics and a handful of generated structures to stumble on while you explore.

Installing Laendli Transport

Drop the mod into your Forge mods folder and add a matching GeckoLib build, since the mod relies on the GeckoLib animation library for its vehicle and weapon models. Pick the GeckoLib version that matches your Minecraft release, or the animated models will fail to load. If you are new to mod loaders, the Minecraft Forge setup guide walks through the install from scratch, and the general how to install Minecraft mods primer covers the rest. Fans of vehicle mods may also enjoy Automobility, which takes a different angle on Minecraft transport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Laendli Transport still being updated?

The latest release shipped in January 2025, so the project has been quiet for a while. Check the project page for any newer releases before installing.

What dependency does it require?

The mod needs GeckoLib, the animation library that powers its custom vehicle and weapon models. Grab a GeckoLib build matching your loader and Minecraft release, or the animated models will not load.

How do I fuel and drive the vehicles?

Every motor vehicle runs on coal and water. Right-click to mount, sneak to dismount, and use the R key for the drive and speed selector on land and air vehicles. Watercraft refill their tanks automatically while afloat.

Can friends ride along?

Yes. The 1.7.7 update introduced support for multiple passengers per vehicle, so you can place a backseat cushion next to vehicles like the submersible and bring a friend along.

Do the structures generate in existing worlds?

Generated structures like treasure icebergs and ruined tombsites appear in newly explored chunks, so travel into unloaded areas to find them.
