The Copper Rail

Unique Directional Rail System

The The Copper Rail mod introduces a completely new type of copper rails that possess a unique property - they push minecarts strictly in one direction! This opens up entirely new possibilities for creating complex transportation systems in Minecraft.

Key Features

Unlike standard golden rails, copper rails do not require a block nearby to initiate movement. They independently provide a push to the minecart in the desired direction.

For copper rails to work, a redstone signal must be supplied. Without power, they function as regular golden rails, maintaining movement speed but not providing directional thrust.

Technical Details

Copper rails do not transmit redstone signal to other types of rails, similar to how activator rails operate. This allows for creating complex control circuits without unwanted interactions between different rail types.

The direction of thrust is determined by the player's position when placing the rail, making the setup process intuitive and convenient.

Additional Features

As a nice bonus, copper rails can be found in loot chests in abandoned mines, alongside all standard rail types from the vanilla game.
