Rail Destinations

About

Rail Destinations is a mod port of the RailSwitch plugin used on the Civ servers.

The mod allows detector rails to emit a restone signal only if a player in a minecart chose the right destination. It works by using the mechanics of a T-junction and the interaction with a Detector Rail.

Command Usage

Type /dest <destination> where <destination> is the place where you want to go. You can also chain destinations, /dest <destination1> <destination2> etc. This can be useful for taking a route via specific junctions; players will be routed towards signs that contain either <destination1> or <destination2>.

Junction Setup

1. Place a sign one block above a detector rail before the T-junction.
2. The first line must be [destination]. You may also use [!destination], which will activate the rail if a player's destination is not on the signs.
3. The other three lines can be destination names. Setting any line to * will activate the detector rail if the player has any destination set (or the opposite when using [!destination]).

Since T-junctions follow the south-east rule an inverter (shown below) may need to be built.

Inverters

An inverter can be used to change the default direction of the T-junction.
