In an intersection of rails, the middle rail will always connect to the South-East coordinate (check by clicking F3 in the PC version).

This is less effective in the PS3 edition, as the Nether has a more similar size to that of the overworld.This will often result in Zombie Pigmen spawning on the tracks and stopping or "bouncing" the minecart, however: Not only will one use fewer rails, but they will get to their destination much faster in the Nether than in the Overworld (up to 64 m/s or 230 km/h in a straight line, or up to 325 km/h diagonally). If one needs to travel very long distances in the Overworld, it is best to build a railway system in the Nether.There is a glitch that, when a rail is placed on a block that has an Iron Bar connected to it, it will cause the top texture of the iron bar to disappear.mining) it is worthwhile to invest in a railway system for ease of use. But if one is traveling the route over and over (e.g. If one is traveling a distance of 50 blocks, it takes an average of 12 seconds to walk, 9.3 seconds to sprint (as much as possible) and 10.6 seconds by minecart.There is a glitch that happens when a track sloping downwards with a curved intersection when approached from the side will teleport a player under the block which traps him/her until he/she destroys the track and the block.However, it's possible to find floating rails in an abandoned mine shaft. Players may only place rails on a block.↑ Times are for unenchanted tools in seconds.

Activator rails will activate minecarts with TNT when the rail is activated while the minecart goes over it.

Detector rails act like pressure plates, and can also power powered rails. A powered rail can be powered by redstone torches and move minecarts. Since there are no formal rail junctions, switched T intersections are the only method by which a player can have a track system that leads in more directions than back and forth.ĭifferent variations of the rail are the detector, activator, and powered rails. Separate tracks laid adjacent but at the next level lower or higher can sometimes cause issues. "T" intersections can be powered by redstone circuits and their direction can change with switches provided there is no confusion about the 2 directions to switch to. If a track leads up to a one-block high ledge, the piece placed up against the ledge will turn into a ramp if another track is placed on top of the ledge.

If two perpendicular track pieces meet, the track connecting them will turn into a curve. Two directly adjacent tracks will attach inline to each other automatically. If there is no block below it, it will break.

Tracks do not appear anywhere on a natural map, except for in Abandoned Mine Shafts-both as blocks in the passageways and in the Chest Minecarts. They appear as a 2D image of straight track in a player's hand. The block has several sprites depending on their orientation when laid. Rails are non-solid blocks first seen in the first "Secret Friday Update" to Infdev.
