About this Mod

Header image

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.

Shaking text to represent the absurdity of the rail cost!

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!

Rail Recipe Rebalance is available all the way from version 1.15 to 26.1, and will continue to be updated for newer versions! You can install it as a datapack, or as a mod for your favorite modloader!

Additionally, RRR aims to add compatibility with mods, and currently adds new recipes for the following mods:

Rails get even better with these amazing projects, and they are highly recommended for use with this pack!
