POWERED RAIL
Accelerates minecarts when powered by redstone, and brakes them when unpowered. Powered rails propagate power up to 9 rails from the source. Essential for minecart systems.
Crafting Recipe
6 Gold Ingots + 1 Stick + 1 Redstone Dust → 6 Powered Rails
Signal Behavior
Input
Redstone signal activates acceleration
Output
None (mechanical acceleration/braking)
Max Signal Strength
0
Delay
Instant effect on passing minecart
Modes
- Powered (accelerate)
- Unpowered (brake)
Common Uses
- ▸Minecart acceleration
- ▸Station braking
- ▸Incline boosting
- ▸Rail systems
Common Mistakes
- !Unpowered rail acts as brake, not neutral
- !Power propagates through up to 9 connected powered rails
- !Needs adjacent power source or powered powered rail
