Description

🚂 Copper Rails — High-Speed Rail Rework

Rails are now made primarily from copper instead of iron, introducing new progression mechanics and speed dynamics.

🧪 Rail Oxidation = Speed Decay

Each rail type has four copper states (fresh to fully oxidized), just like copper blocks.
These states directly affect the maximum speed of minecarts:

🔩 Regular Rails, Detector Rails, Activator Rails

  • Max Speed: 64 m/s (fresh copper)
  • Speed Loss: −16 m/s per oxidation level
    (e.g. down to 16 m/s when fully oxidized)

⚡ Powered Rails

  • Now crafted using copper rails + iron ingot
  • Max Speed: 32 m/s (powered)
  • Speed Loss: −8 m/s per oxidation level

🧭 For comparison: vanilla rails = 8 m/s, elytra flight ≈ 32 m/s


🌟 New: Self-Powered Rails

A new rail type crafted with gold:

  • Always powered — no redstone needed
  • Max Speed: 64 m/s
  • Can power adjacent powered rails
  • Ideal for high-speed rail networks

🔜 Planned Features

  • 🚀 Faster furnace minecarts
  • 🔄 Wall- and ceiling-mounted rails

This mod lays the foundation for a more dynamic and realistic minecart system, where material condition and rail types matter.
