What Is Rail in Minecraft?

Rail is the basic track block used for Minecart travel. It can be placed on flat ground or on slopes. Rails curve automatically when another rail is placed adjacent. Unlike Powered or Detector Rails, regular Rail does not interact with Redstone.

How Does Rail Work?

  • Place on the ground or on slopes to create a Minecart track.
  • Curves automatically when adjacent rails are placed.
  • Does not interact with Redstone - use Powered Rails to boost carts.
