How do I turn on powered rails?
I am building a roller coaster. How do I make powered rails work? I am having trouble riding my roller coaster. I have been annoyed working on it for a while and then not being able to use it!
Best Answer
You can activate powered rails by either powering them with redstone, or using detector rails.
Redstone torches are the easiest way to go, and will power the rail if they are adjacent to the powered rail, or underneath the block the rail is sitting on.
Detector rails can be placed in front of powered rails to power them, but only when a minecart rides over the detector rail.
