While the [http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Detector_Rail detector rails] were a nice addition to the game, one common complaint in vanilla Minecraft is that they can't detect the contents of a [http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecart minecart].

These are two additional detector rails: wood and soulforged steel while the original stone detector rails are changed as follows.

  • Wood detects any minecart passing over it (Same properties as stone detector rail when Minecraft is not modded)
  • Stone detects any occupied minecart (furnance, chest, mob, player, ..)
  • Soulforged Steel detects only a minecart which has a player inside.

These changes can be extremely useful in routing carts to various locations in an automated rail network.

Note: Before version 4.85, the obsidian pressure plate was used instead of the soulforged steel pressure plate for the exact same purpose.
