What it does

Crafting one batch of activator rails yields 16 pieces, where the vanilla recipe yields 6. The matching recipes for detector rails and powered rails also output 16 each, so the three rail types can be crafted in bulk. The change affects only the crafting output and leaves the rails themselves as they are in vanilla. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out of their own installs. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, targeting 26.2 only, and the mod is not open source under All rights reserved.

Key features

16 activator rails per craft
The activator rail recipe produces 16 rails instead of 6, reducing the number of crafts needed for a long rail line.
Matching detector and powered rails
Detector rail and powered rail recipes also yield 16 pieces, so all three rail types scale in the same way.
Minecart system support
The rail changes give a small boost to building minecart transport networks in a world.
