About Detector Rail
A Detector Rail is a special rail that sends out a redstone signal whenever a minecart rolls over it. Unlike a normal rail, it acts as a sensor, so you can use it to trigger doors, note blocks, powered rails, or other redstone machines when a cart arrives.
Key facts:
- Emits a redstone signal of 15 while a minecart is on it.
- Works with any minecart type, including chest and hopper minecarts.
- Minecarts travel over it just like a regular rail.
How to get Detector Rail
You can craft Detector Rails, which gives six at a time. The recipe uses iron ingots, a stone pressure plate, and redstone dust. You can also find them in abandoned mineshafts, inside the minecart chests scattered along the tunnels.
