My first video was about making switches for long haul minecart railways. When 1.20 gave us calibrated sculk sensors, minecraft minecart switching stations got simpler and more reliable. This is a short showcase and tutorial of a system to switch your minecart tracks on the go.

This tutorial is a guide on how to set up an automatic minecart switching station for your minecart railroad in your 1.20+ minecraft java world.

Chapters:
0:26 - My Minecraft minecart station concept
1:19 - the Minecraft redstone behind the minecart station
2:43 - Additional details of the redstone system

Materials Required:
Signal Receiver System
- Calibrated sculk sensors - 3
- Amethyst blocks - 2
- Comparitors - 3
- Lecterns - 3
- a few solid blocks to put it on
- Book and quill - 3
Pulse Extender

Track Switching Station
- redstone dust - (might need more depending on how you set it up)
- redstone torches - 5 (or more)

I'll put schematics in my discord upon request.... this is another system simple enough that you probably won't need one.
