**Not anymore!With Floating Rails you have the ability to place the rails directly on top of the water. I made it so the rails are supported by a lily-pads to keep the rails floating.**I made is so all types of vanilla rails can float on top of the water. (Not in the 1.12.2 build yet)

But water was just not enoughSo I added in magma-lilies that spawns around on top of lava lakes in the overworld and nether.

**Lava-Lilies + Rails =

{width=1920 height=1017}** {width=1920 height=1017}
The CraftingThe crafting is a bit special. You can add up to 8 rails around the lily-pad and cash out as many rails as you need for the price of 1 lily-pad.

****Same goes for the lava any other type of rails like powered etc.

**WIP - Work in progress

{width=1920 height=1017}**
This is going to be a redstone torch peaceable on top of the water to help you activate the rails that
requires a redstone signal to function. Coming soon.

1.12.2 version requires Bibliothecato function.
