While the 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 minecart. These variations on the detector rail allow you to do just that.
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.
