an adjacent powered block (strongly-powered or weakly-powered).

an adjacent active power component (for example, a redstone torch, a block of redstone, a daylight sensor, etc.).Powered rails can be used to affect the speed of minecarts that travel over them.Īctivation A powered rail is a redstone mechanism and can be activated by: Redstone component See also: Redstone circuit A minecart that enters a powered rail's space from the side will turn east or south (depending on the powered rail's orientation), or in the downward direction for a slanted powered rail. A minecart that enters a powered rail's space from either end of the powered rail will continue to move in the direction the powered rail is facing, but its speed may change depending on whether the powered rail is active or not (see below). Powered rails (and other rails) can be used as 'roads' for minecarts. Other configurations can be created by placing and removing various rails. If a rail it would line up with is one block up, a powered rail will slant upwards towards it (with multiple options to slant upwards to, a powered rail 'prefers', in order: west, east, south, and north). If there are no adjacent rails, a powered rail will line up in the north-south direction (but if a rail is later placed to the east or west, the powered rail will re-orient itself in the east-west direction even if it is already connected to another rail to the north or south). If there are two adjacent rails on non-opposite sides, or three or more adjacent rails, a powered rail will line up in the east-west direction.

When placed, a powered rail will configure itself to line up with any adjacent rails (including activator rails, detector rails, and other powered rails), as well as adjacent rails one block up. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach a powered rail to the side of the fence will cause the powered rail to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.

the top of a hopper, upside-down slab, or upside-down stairs.Ī powered rail cannot be attached to the side or bottom of any block, but attempting to make such an attachment may cause the powered rail to attach to the top of a block under the destination space.

the top of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), including full-block mechanism components ( command blocks, dispensers, droppers, note blocks, and redstone lamps).

To place a powered rail, use a powered rail item while pointing at a surface facing the space the powered rail should occupy. Powered rails can be found in 27.1% of chest minecarts in Mineshafts in stacks of 1–4.Ī powered rail can be used as a rail and as a redstone component.
