Kawatt's Cheaper Rails

by Kawatt

For the rail, powered rail, activator rail and detector rail, Kawatt's Cheaper Rails swaps the ingot requirement in each crafting recipe for nuggets, gold or iron as appropriate.

What it does

Rail recipes that normally need ingots are modified so that nuggets stand in for them. The result is that each craft yields twice as many rails per ingredient set, and the cost falls to a quarter of the vanilla amount. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing it. Released under the MIT License and open source, it is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 16 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.4.

Key features

  1. Cheaper rail recipes

    Normal, powered, activator and detector rail recipes use nuggets instead of ingots.

  2. Doubled output

    Each craft produces twice the rails it does in vanilla, halving the number of ingredients needed.

  3. Four times cheaper

    Compared with the vanilla cost of nine ingots, the modified recipes cost a quarter as much in material.
