railcraft
this feature was originally from the mod railcraft, this information should be in the history. i'd do it myself but i don't know how. 98.248.118.106 22:59, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * There are a lot of features in the game that used to only exist in mods. We do not document mods nor do we keep track of which one supposedly had a feature first before it was added to vanilla. There are also other issues that make documenting this info wrong, such as our "documenting the community" policy and creating a target for a revert war between competing mod authors. If a Mojangster reveals where they got ideas from, and a link can be provided to proof, such as a tweet, then it may be good for a neat trivia entry, but other than that, no.  23:10, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * For example, with pistons, Jeb explicitly gave credit to two mod authors for providing ideas and code; this is documented. Ender chests were originally suggested on reddit, which Jeb has acknowledged. They were first made as a mod, but the vanilla version was not based on the mod implementation. Redstone blocks have been suggested numerous times, and implemented as mods at least twice, though neither mod that I'm familiar with made them permanent power sources. Without a statement from Mojang, we can't make assumptions as to what inspired them. If you think a mod (such as Railcraft) deserves credit for a feature, try to get a comment from Mojang about it. Without that, it's just speculation, which we try to avoid on the wiki. -- Orthotope 11:17, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
