Specifically, let the speed in both the X and Z directions (meters / tick) combined be 'speed'. increases the speed of a moving minecart in the direction it is already moving.An activated powered rail does not activate non-connected adjacent rails. Thus a single activation source can activate up to 17 rails (one original in the middle and eight on either side).

powered redstone dust configured to point at the powered rail a powered rail is not activated by adjacent powered redstone dust that is a directionless 'dot' or configured to point in another direction.Īn activated powered rail also activates any adjacent powered rails it is connected to, up to eight away from the original activation source.

a powered redstone comparator or redstone repeater facing the powered rail.

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: It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands, which is not unintentional.

Unlike their unpowered counterparts, and like detector and activator rails, powered rails are always straight. 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 slants upward toward it (with multiple options to slant upward to, a powered rail 'prefers', in order: west, east, south, and north). If there are no adjacent rails, a powered rail lines up in the north-south direction (but if a rail is later placed to the east or west, the powered rail re-orients 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 lines up in the east-west direction. When placed, a powered rail configures 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 causes 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. A powered rail can be used as a rail and as a redstone component.
