Cheaper Rails

What is this

Cheaper Utensils is a simple, lightweight Minecraft datapack that tweaks all the vanilla rails recipes.

Why is this

Rails are too expensive.

Modified Recipes

This datapack overrides the default crafting recipes to reduce the material cost for the following items:

  • Rail
  • Activator rail
  • Detector rail
  • Powered rail

Please go to the gallery for a look at the new recipes.

Supported Versions:

TLDR: only 1.21.11 officially but should work from 1.19 to 1.21.x

For now I have only tested 1.21.11 as it's the game version I'm playing but it should be fully compatible with Minecraft 1.19 through 1.21.x, that's why I uploaded another pack version in 'alpha' for all those game versions so you can download it and try for yourself. I'm gonna tried a few game versions myself and if it works I will add them to the 'release' pack version.

Installation:

Simply drop the cheaperrails.zip file into your world's datapacks folder.
