Crafting

• 6 Iron Ingots + 2 Sticks + 1 Redstone Torch => 16 Activator Rails

Usage

They are a type of Rail that, when activated, powers certain Minecarts using a Redstone signal. It is also used to eject a Mob (including Players) from Minecarts when they pass over it.

Trivia

• Bug: Activator Rails make the sound of breaking Carpets when broken instead of the regular Rail sounds.
• They are often confused with Detector Rails.
• Activator Rails will ignite Minecarts with TNT.
• When a regular Minecart rides over an Activator Rail, it will wobble.
  • However, Minecarts with Hoppers, Chests, or TNT will not wobble.
