The Copper Rail

Mod

Copper rail is a directional rail. It would push any minecart over it, without the need of a block on one side to start the movement.

Description

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.
Now has an unofficial Barebones resource pack compat!
