The rail network is automated and intended for use by new players to get from spawn to the new areas, as well as for automated safe nether travel.

The inspiration for making a large decentralised network like this came from Youtube creator n00b_asaurus, who made videos showcasing his own minecart network.<ref>[https://youtu.be/aKvosOadH5Q?si=jGWq81-h6TgXPZ7- '''A Tour of My Minecart Rail Network'''] - n00b_asaurus (YouTube)</ref> The junction designs used on the Epic SMP are semi-automatic and toggled by using a shovel or hoe to turn dirt into transparent blocks that allow redstone to travel through which toggles an RS-NOR latch. They are based off n00b_asaurus' designs.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQZOPAoxw9Q&t=5s&ab_channel=n00b_asaurus Semi-Automatic Minecart Junction (and rail alert) Tutorial] - n00b_asaurus (YouTube)</ref>

== Layout and History ==

The rail network started after the reset, and was originally created to go from Kristy's [[Home Base Hill]] to the overworld gold farm portal. This is because the gold farm was built on the nether roof and so placing another portal closer-by to it could have interfered, so traveling by overworld was seen as the best option, and the rail network was created. It later expanded to include the northern [[Old Town]] part of the server. The ocean base was actually one of the first destinations planned for the rail network, yet it was one of the last built as part of the original set of destinations.

A video touring the entire network as it was on 2025-05-08 was made by Kristy and uploaded on the RadioactiveFox YouTube channel and tiktok account.<ref>[https://youtu.be/lr1XXVRkAPs My Minecraft Server's Minecart Tour] - RadioactiveFox (YouTube)</ref>
