Pumps & Pistons: Roadworks

Roadworks development preview: shape the road before paving.

A road starts with the ground beneath it. The new Roadworks preview shows the Road Survey Kit and Motor Grader preparing a continuous roadbed before the paver and lane marker take over.

Plan the route, its width and gentle slopes. The grader follows the line, cuts the high ground and builds a low embankment. The prepared surface has fractional heights and a gentle crown, so it follows a smooth profile rather than a staircase of full blocks.

Explore the new Terrain scene on the Roadworks page. It uses the actual development model and a test route processed by the mod’s own geometry compiler. This is a web presentation of that test fixture, rather than a recording of Minecraft gameplay.

Grading remains a Creative prototype for shallow cuts and low fills, up to one block of corner-height change. Larger earthworks, Survival soil accounting, bridges and tunnels remain future work. Roadworks has no public download or announced release date yet.
