Have you ever felt as if rails were too expensive? Do you wish that copper had more uses? If so, Railed is the mod for you!

What's different?

Railed changes the recipes for the various types of rails so that they are more affordable for long distance rail networks.

Basic Rails:

Basic Rails felt too expensive as 6 iron ingots for 16 rails, that's only 2.67 rails/ingot! This mod changes their recipe to require iron nuggets instead of ingots for an improved 24 rails/ingot! It also adds more sticks to the recipe to better match the texture.

Rail Variations:

Activator, Detector and Powered Rails now all follow the format of a variation-specific item, a rail, and a redstone dust for 1 of the rail variation.

Powered Rails:

Powered Rails now look a tad bit different, now being made of copper, not gold. This change was made to:

1. Slightly decrease the cost of Powered Rails as copper is easier to obtain than gold
2. Add a new use for copper
3. Make space for funkier, fresher, gold rails in a future potential update

Self-Powered Rails

An upgrade to the Powered Rails. Enhanced with a Gold Ingot and a Redstone Torch, these Rails will accelerate your minecarts without the need to be powered first. If you do power them however, they will slow the minecart down to a stop (just like un-powered regular Powered Rails.)

Other Notes:

If I get around to it, I might eventually make other changes to rails & minecarts but none of these have been added:

• Modify the Minecart speed to make rails an actually viable transport method (unlikely since Mojang now has an experiment for that.)
• QOL rail related blocks like an intersection or something?

Who knows if I'll actually get around to doing any of these things though.
