![]() Straight rail connecting to the north and south. A rail also has a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.Ī rail's block data specifies the directions to which it connects. With a rider, a minecart can climb at least 24 blocks before needing powered rails to go higher.Įvery rail has an ID name of minecraft:rail and stores its orientation in its block data. The minimum number of powered rails to keep the cart climbing is 3 every 6 blocks.Ĭarts with a rider, or minecarts with chest, have more momentum and so climb higher than carts that are unloaded. However, the cart slows so much that it can only reach another 5 blocks high with 2 lengths of powered track starting at 9 blocks high. ![]() This suggests that a powered track is only needed at a height of 10 blocks to keep a cart climbing. Running track next to a wall (especially diagonal tracks), placing lampposts next to it, or having hills to climb will adversely affect the speed of a minecart, and consequently its distance travelled.Ī minecart with no rider at full speed can climb 10 blocks on unpowered track. The performance of minecarts on a track is affected by the way the track is placed. The intersection rail at a T-intersection may be made to change its direction of curvature by applying redstone power using a redstone torch or lever. Breaking and re-laying track so that the intersection block is laid last will update the intersection block as a curved section. ![]() If a track is placed perpendicular to an existing length of track it will show as a straight rail, but in fact will be curved according to the patterns for tee junctions as seen above and mine carts going through the intersection will turn the corner.Other configurations can be created by placing and removing rails. Rail "prefers", in order: west, east, south, and north. If placed next to an existing rail that is one block up or down the rail will slant up or down to join it. ![]()
