Cheaper Rails
What is this
Cheaper Utensils is a simple, lightweight Minecraft datapack that tweaks all the vanilla rails recipes.
Why is this
Rails are too expensive.
Modified Recipes
This datapack overrides the default crafting recipes to reduce the material cost for the following items:
- Rail

- Activator rail

- Detector rail

- Powered rail

Supported Versions:
TLDR: only 1.21.11 officially but should work from 1.19 to 1.21.x
For now I have only tested 1.21.11 as it's the game version I'm playing but it should be fully compatible with Minecraft 1.19 through 1.21.x, that's why I uploaded another pack version in 'alpha' for all those game versions so you can download it and try for yourself. I'm gonna tried a few game versions myself and if it works I will add them to the 'release' pack version.
Installation:
Simply drop the cheaperrails.zip file into your world's datapacks folder or download the mod version.
/!\ Beware: If you notice in-game that some of the recipes don't work (they're still the vanilla ones), try using the datapack version instead of the mod. The issue is likely due to the load-order, another mod is probably overriding my recipes. Datapacks load after mods, so this fixes the problem.
