About
Rails are the foundation of any minecart transit system. You place them on the ground to create a path, then minecarts roll along them when powered or pushed. They connect automatically to adjacent rails and slope on hillsides.
Rails are cheap to mass-produce and break easily, so admins often use creative mode or commands to stock large rail networks quickly. They have no special pickup requirements and work on any block type that can support them.
