Overview

Rail Bridges is a specialized utility mod (often categorized as a 'micromod') that solves the long-standing challenge of building efficient minecart tracks across large gaps, ravines, and oceans. Traditionally, players are required to place a solid line of blocks (such as cobblestone or wood) to support rails. This mod introduces the Bridge Rail, a unique block that functions as both a rail and its own structural support.

Designed with a 'vanilla-plus' philosophy, the mod maintains game balance by imposing specific physical limitations on the player while providing a streamlined solution for logistics and transportation. It is particularly useful for players who want to create aesthetic, minimalist railways that do not clutter the landscape with massive support pillars.
