How to use powered rails in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to zoom around your Minecraft world without having to sprint? Well, powered rails are the answer!
Let’s dive deep into how you can use powered rails in your Minecraft adventures to speed up your travels.
Quick Guide to Using Powered Rails
Powered rails are special types of rails that can speed up or slow down minecarts. To use them, you first need to place them on the ground.
Next, to make them work, you need to give them power. You can do this by placing a redstone torch next to the powered rail or connecting the rail to a lever, button, or pressure plate. When the powered rail lights up, it means it’s activated and ready to boost your minecart’s speed!
Creating Your Minecart Express
For the best results, don’t just lay down one powered rail. Instead, mix regular rails and powered rails. A good tip is to place a powered rail every 32 blocks on a flat surface. This setup keeps your minecart moving at top speed without wasting too many resources.
If you’re building your track in survival mode, remember that you’ll need resources like gold, sticks, and redstone to craft powered rails. Creative mode players have unlimited resources, so feel free to experiment with epic rail designs!
