About Rail
Rail is the basic track block for minecarts. Place several in a row and they link into a line. When you place one at a corner, it bends to connect to nearby rails automatically.
Key facts:
- Stacks up to 64.
- Connects and curves when placed next to other rails.
- Does not push minecarts on its own, so use slopes or powered rails to keep them moving.
- Breaks quickly with any tool or by hand.
A plain rail is the cheap workhorse for long track runs, while powered rails handle the bursts of speed.
How to get Rail
You can craft rails from six iron ingots and one stick. That recipe gives you 16 rails, so it is a good way to build long tracks once you have iron to spare. You can also collect rails already placed in abandoned mineshafts by breaking them with any tool or your hand.
