Peter's Sootian Livery Pack: Unique Train Liveries for Minecraft

What Is Peter's Sootian Livery Pack for Immersive Railroading?

If you have ever wanted your Minecraft trains to wear a coat of custom paint, Peter's Sootian Livery Pack is the texture add-on you have been looking for. Created specifically for the Immersive Railroading mod, this pack breathes fresh visual life into several popular train sets by adding authentic, fictional railway liveries. Think of it as a custom paint shop that turns generic rolling stock into branded locomotives and coaches tied to imaginary rail companies like the Sullian Railway or Rheilffordd Eryri Newydd. Although the project is marked as abandoned, the existing liveries remain fully functional and ready to drop into your game.

How the Pack Works with Immersive Railroading

Immersive Railroading is a complex mod that introduces realistic trains, tracks, and physics to Minecraft. However, the base models often come in plain or default colors. A livery pack does not add new train models; instead, it provides alternate texture files that the mod applies to existing vehicles. This means you must have the core mod and the specific base packs installed before anything appears. Without them, the game will not show the custom designs, and you might end up with missing textures or invisible trains.

Required Base Packs and Mods

Before you can see the Sootian liveries in action, your mods folder needs these essentials:

• Immersive Railroading – the foundation mod that makes everything run.
• Gibster's Texel Trains pack – supplies the commuter coaches and SW1200 switcher used in many liveries.
• Basemod Mk1 coach – a classic passenger coach that gets several repaints.
• North American Railroads and Santa Fe - American Locomotives – additional rolling stock that receive custom branding.

If you are missing any of these, the corresponding liveries simply will not load. The pack itself is a resource pack, so you can either place it in the .minecraft/resourcepacks folder and enable it from the in-game menu, or drop it directly into .minecraft/config/immersiverailroading for automatic detection by the mod. Many players find the second method cleaner, especially when juggling multiple livery packs. If you use a modern launcher like the one available from foxygame.net, you can even browse and install resource packs right from the launcher interface, which keeps your modded setup organized without digging through file directories.

All the Liveries Included in the Pack

Peter’s pack focuses on three fictional railways, each with its own distinct color scheme and branding. Here is what you can expect to see rolling down your tracks:

Rheilffordd Eryri Newydd

• Gibster's Commuter Coaches (version 1.0) – the first livery created, sporting a clean, heritage-inspired look.

Premier Trains Sullia

• Gibster's Commuter Coaches (1.1) – updated passenger cars with the Sullian Traction Services logo.
• Gibster's SW1200 switcher (1.1) – a compact diesel locomotive branded for shunting duties.
• Basemod Mk1 coach (1.1) – a classic coach repainted to match the fleet.

Sullian Railway

• Gibster's Commuter Coaches (1.1) – a second variant for the same coach type, now under the Sullian Railway banner.
• Gibster's SW1200 (1.1) – the switcher locomotive in a different livery, ready for mainline or yard work.
• Basemod Mk1 coach (1.1) – completes the Sullian Railway passenger consist.

The version numbers indicate updates to the textures, not separate train models. Even though the pack is no longer actively developed, these liveries cover enough variety to build realistic mixed-traffic trains on your server or single-player world.

Installation Tips and Troubleshooting

Getting everything to work can feel like assembling a model railway set. Follow these steps for a smooth experience:

1. Install Immersive Railroading and all required base packs. Verify that the base trains appear in your game without any livery pack first.
2. Download Peter's Sootian Livery Pack. (You can find it on CurseForge or similar modding platforms; just search for the exact name.)
3. Place the pack's ZIP file either in resourcepacks and activate it, or in config/immersiverailroading for direct loading.
4. Launch the game and spawn a train from one of the supported base packs. The livery should apply automatically if everything is installed correctly.

If textures appear solid pink or black, double-check that the base pack is present and that you have not accidentally renamed any files. The pack is sensitive to folder structures inside the Immersive Railroading config directory.

License and Community Use

Peter's Sootian Livery Pack is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. In plain language, you are free to share and modify the textures as long as you give proper credit, do not use them for commercial purposes, and keep the same license on any derivative works. The required attribution includes Peter Kitsuné and the creators of the base packs: TheLegend5550, Gibster, JPV, and Lachie1770. If you remix or repaint these liveries, you must also note any changes you made. The CurseForge Rewards Program is explicitly allowed, so content creators can still earn points as long as the pack remains free for users.

Because the project is abandoned, the community has the green light to pick up where Peter left off. You could add new liveries for the same base packs, fix compatibility issues with newer Immersive Railroading versions, or even adapt the designs to other train mods—provided you follow the license terms.

Why This Pack Still Matters for Minecraft Train Enthusiasts

Even in its final state, Peter's Sootian Livery Pack adds a layer of storytelling to your rail network. Instead of running anonymous locomotives, you can build a regional railway with a consistent visual identity. The Sullian Railway coaches and switchers look right at home on a busy industrial line, while the Rheilffordd Eryri Newydd commuter coaches evoke a quaint narrow-gauge feel. For server owners, these liveries help distinguish player-built railroads and create immersive roleplay scenarios.

If you have been hunting for a way to make your Immersive Railroading experience feel less generic and more like a handcrafted model railway, this livery pack is a small download that delivers big personality. Just remember to grab the base packs, respect the license, and enjoy watching your custom-painted trains chug across the blocky landscape.
