In-Depth Information
Detector rail —These rails are like a standard rail combined with a pressure plate,
emitting a redstone current when a minecart rolls over the top. You can use this
current or signal for anything really, including controlling hoppers, opening doors
to a tunnel, setting off a note block, switching tracks at a T-junction, and so on.
Activator rail —These rails have just two purposes: to enable or disable a hopper
minecart passing over the top, and to set off a minecart with TNT. The size of the
explosion is proportional to the speed of the TNT minecart, and the rail needs to be
powered before it becomes operational. When unpowered, it acts like any other rail
track.
Making Tracks and Stations

you can easily dig up the tracks and reuse them. This allows for some trial and error, es-
pecially when working out the minimum placements required for the expensive powered
rails.
