Powered rails (and other rails) can be used as "roads" for minecarts. Other configurations can be created by placing and removing various rails. If a rail it would line up with is one block up, a powered rail will slant upwards towards it (with multiple options to slant upwards to, a powered rail "prefers", in order: west, east, south, and north). If there are no adjacent rails, a powered rail will line up in the north-south direction (but if a rail is later placed to the east or west, the powered rail will re-orient itself in the east-west direction even if it is already connected to another rail to the north or south). If there are two adjacent rails on non-opposite sides, or three or more adjacent rails, a powered rail will line up in the east-west direction.

When placed, a powered rail will configure itself to line up with any adjacent rails (including activator rails, detector rails, and other powered rails), as well as adjacent rails one block up. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach a powered rail to the side of the fence will cause the powered rail to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.

the top of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), including full-block mechanism components ( command blocks, dispensers, droppers, note blocks, and redstone lamps).To place a powered rail, use a powered rail item while pointing at a surface facing the space the powered rail should occupy. Powered rails can be found in 27.1% of chest minecarts in Mineshafts in stacks of 1–4.Ī powered rail can be used as a rail and as a redstone component.
