Players can craft railways by making multiple sets of rails and assembling them into a track. A railway or track is useful to transport the player or materials for one point to another in Minecraft. But to travel on the railway, players must also build minecarts. There are several different types of rails.
Powered rails can increase or decrease the speed at which minecarts travel. Stationary carts will be given a push downhill. Occupied minecarts containing a player or a mob will have travel up to 80 blocks on flat land after being boosted by a powerd rail; unoccupied carts, however, have less momentum and will only travel 8 blocks.
Minecraft rail systems can be fabulously complicated and are fun to build, but here we'll just focus on simple systems to get you around your minecraft world with minimum fuss. You will need lots of iron and wood to build your rails. You will also need gold and redstone for powered rails, unless you're OK with only going downhill. Just right click to lay tracks on the ground. Stick to level ground wherever possible.
Rail can be laid diagonally in a zig-zag pattern ; it looks wiggly on the ground but minecarts travel in a nice straight diagonal line. Place powered rails at appropriate intervals see below.
Redstone torches can also be placed underneath the block that the rail is resting on to provide a hidden power source. An occupied minecart will be accelerated to maximum speed by three powered rails in a row.
On flat ground, the cart will be kept up to speed by placing a powered rail every 38 blocks along the route. If you don't mind going slower and want to save on materials, powered rails can be placed further apart.
Although the Minecart With Chest looks like it should be good for building cargo trains to move stuff around, it should be noted that they only have the same momentum as an empty minecart, so you would need to place powered rails every 8 blocks. That's a lot of gold! To keep up top speed whilst climbing a hill, you'll need one powered rail every two blocks; ie.
If you don't mind slowing down a bit, one powered rail every four blocks will do. This can be a small incline of 2 or more blocks since the powered rails will help accelerate your cart once it has moved a rail or two. Place a cart on the inclined section of rail. You'll need to set up some kind of redstone activator to start the cart on its path. In my opinion, the best way to do this is using the stone button.
Minecarts are subject to friction and can slow considerably. There are several ways they can maintain momentum, whether they're on their way to the surface or across a flat plane. The most common and simplest way to keep your carts going is to lay down powered rails.
These can be activated by placing a detector rail before the powered rails. When the minecart rolls over the detector rail, it will activate the powered rails and accelerate or maintain the speed of your cart. Detector rails do have a drawback, however, in that they will momentarily slow down your cart before it moves onto the activated powered rails. A simple solution to this is to place a redstone torch next to powered tracks so that they are always on.
You can power powered rails by any method you can use to power redstone wire and so there are many possibilities. Here's how:. Besides its utilitarian function of hauling goods, minecarts can be made to do some cool things. Here are some examples of cool stuff we made for last Saturday's Weekly Workshop.
Rollercoasters: By far one of the most common uses for minecarts is entertainment. You can do some interesting stuff with enough rail, and rollercoasters are certainly fun to experiment with. Redstone Clocks: Here is a redstone clock I made using a minecart that it set in a circular motion. Redstone wires run from the detectors, collecting a pulse that can be used for redstone machines.
Minecarts can be sent through a Nether portal. This is a good way to transport a massive amount of goods quickly. Players will not be able to travel through the portal inside of a cart. Only unmanned carts will teleport. Also read: 5 things players didn't know about the Nether Portal in Minecraft.
A villager will enter the cart when a player pushes it towards them. Before doing this, players will want to build the railway to the desired location for easy transport. In the image above, the builder even uses command blocks to make the loops possible. Unfortunately, without command blocks, players will be limited to a non-loop rollercoaster. While riding the cart, the player can place a boat in front of them to put it into the cart. The player can then steer the cart, and it will travel at speeds similar to carts on powered rails.
