What it does

The mod alters crafting output for detector rails. Each craft returns 16 pieces where vanilla returns 6. A matching recipe gives 16 activator rails and 16 powered rails as well, for players who keep those rail types separate. The change is small and only affects the cost of building rail networks for minecart systems. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.2. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

Sixteen detector rails per craft
Crafting a detector rail now yields 16 rails in one step rather than 6.
Matching activator rail recipe
The activator rail recipe also yields 16 pieces, matching the detector rail output.
Powered rail recipe
A separate powered rail recipe is included, so each rail type can be crafted in its own project.
