Build a minecart track that takes you on a ride around your village.

  • New skill Rails, powered rails and staying powered
  • Level 1 · The Village
  • Difficulty Beginner
  • Mode Creative
  • Time 45–60 min
  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

All aboard! You'll plan a route, build a station with a powered start rail and a lever, then lay track around your village. Add powered rails along the way, hop in a minecart, flip the lever and enjoy the ride.

Finish line: You ride from the station all the way to the end without getting stuck.

Bonus challenge: Push an empty minecart into your pet to give it a ride too, or add a lit tunnel along the way.

You’ll need

  • Rails
  • Powered rails
  • Redstone torches
  • Lever
  • Minecart

You choose

  • Where the ride starts and ends
  • A hill, tunnel or bridge on the way
  • Station name

Stuck?

  • Cart slowing to a stop? Add more powered rails, especially on hills.
  • Powered rails only push when they're powered. Put a redstone torch right beside each one.
  • Powered rails can't go round corners, so use normal rails on the bends.
