The Copper Rail

About this project
What does The Copper Rail add?
This mod adds the copper rail, which pushes minecarts only in 1 direction!
- It does not need a block nearby to start pushing, like vanilla powered rails.
- Copper rails have to be powered to work. They would act as unpowered golden rails otherwise.
- Just like activator rails don't power golden rails, copper rails also don't share redstone power with other rail types.
- Pushing direction is determined by position of the player who placed the rail.
- As a bonus, these rails also generate in mineshaft loot chests, just like all vanilla rails.
- Has an unofficial Barebones resource pack compat!
- Supported by RAY's 3D Rails!

This mod has been inspired by u/schevve_.
