Usage

Placing

A powered rail is placed, and joins other rails, as a rail does, but never curves.

Behaviour

Power

A powered rail is on while it or the block above it is powered. It passes power along a straight or sloped line of powered rails, up to 8 rails beyond the one that is powered.

Minecarts

While on, a powered rail speeds up a minecart moving along it. The speed can build past the minecart's top speed.

A minecart standing still on a flat powered rail that is on is pushed away from a full, solid block at one end of the rail. With no such block, it stays still.

While off, a powered rail halves the speed of a minecart on it every tick, and brings it to a stop.
