Description

Are you for re-ail?
You know what really steams my engine? Rails. Specifically, how expensive they are.
Rails are not a bad method of transportation, especially early-game. They're pretty fast, and can even be automated using redstone, making them an immersive choice!
There's just one problem: accessibility. During the period of a world that they would be useful (pre-elytra), most people don't have a surplus of ingots to spend on tracks. I mean, just for regular, unpowered rails, it costs roughly 1 ingot for 3 blocks of track.

That's what this recipe change aims to fix. By making rails more affordable, it's now a more realistic goal to make a train between your friend's base!
Available wherever the tracks take you!
