How to unlock the On A Rail achievement

    This achievement may seem a little more daunting then it really is. The best way I've found is to build a cobblestone track starting at sea level (make sure you have enough room both length and height wise as the world is shrunk down a bit from PC) and build 10-12 blocks, then go up a step, 10-12 blocks then up a step and rinse and repeat until you've reached 500m (500 blocks as each block = 1 meter) and then ride it down. You can also join a friends world and do it through there. If you would like to use mine, send me a message on my Gamertag: Jocavs. I'll try to get to as many as possible. There is also a video below showing my run, and a little more detail on how to do it.

    Edit #1 - I helped people for about 1-2 hours straight last night. If I haven't gotten to you yet, I'm going to hop back on every night for a few days. Thanks for being patient :)

    RossticusDoes it still count if you change the direction of the track?

    PaddyBaptisteThanks for this vid, I got my numbers wrong somehow even tho I followed this to the letter! so it didnt unlock straight away, I added another 3 sets of 38 in the end then it unlocked. :os

    I ended up walking back along the track about 6 times! before I figured out to put another button at the end of the track so I could ride it back to the start!.

    Homunculus Fury@paddy was the first thing I thought of when I had to push the cart back the first time. So I added 3 more rails at the end along with a button. It took all weekend to find the gold and iron. My question is would this work with a powered cart? Would eliminate the need for gold. Furnace plus minecart equals powered cart.

    500 meters = 500 blocks so 500 rails
    6 iron ingots + 1 stick = 16 rails so you need ~32 sticks and ~190 iron ingots.
    You need some powered rails and detector rails to maintain your speed.
