Rail systems rely on iron, which makes them expensive early on. Normal rails carry, powered rails speed up, detector rails give a signal when a minecart passes over them and activator rails trigger what is inside the cart. On flat ground, a powered rail roughly every thirty blocks is enough for long lines.

The minecart itself is five iron; add a chest, hopper, furnace or TNT on top to change what it does. A minecart with a chest is the cheapest way to haul a mine's load in one trip.

Travel by water is much cheaper: A boat takes five planks and there is a version with a chest. A boat on ice is one of the fastest ways to travel in the game.

Common questions

How often should I place powered rails?

Roughly every thirty blocks on flat ground. On lines going uphill you need to space them closer, or the minecart slows down and stops.

Can you craft a saddle?

No, the saddle has no crafting recipe. You find it in chests, catch it while fishing or buy it from villagers. It has a page in the tool, but no crafting recipe.
