On EarthVision you can build impressive railroad networks that are almost as fast as Elytras.
647 Blocks - 28s with Rails and approx. 20s with Elytra
Placing a powered rail on top of an accelerator block will increase the speed of an incoming occupied minecart.
Block | Accelerates By |
---|---|
WAXED_COPPER_BLOCK | 4m/s |
GOLD_BLOCK | 3m/s |
Making hard turns can be difficult with increasing speeds and may result in derailing. Which is why decelerating before turns is recommended.
Block | decelerates By |
---|---|
OBSIDIAN | 4m/s |
SOUL_SAND | 3m/s |
Alternatively, placing a regularly powered rail will also slow the minecart down.
