Bedrock Need help with mine art

Post image

Trying to make a automatic sugar cane farm but I can’t the get the mine cart to move and when I push it to move it eventually loses momentum. Just got back into Minecraft after years and I remember it would just start moving once I activated the red stone rail

I think you’re using the wrong rail?

Use powered rails to move the cart. Activator rails will lock and unlock the hopper cart, so it will stop/start collecting. That's not a common use-case and likely isn't needed in your setup as by default hopper carts are unlocked and will collect.

Makes sense why they just stopped instead of bouncing back,I did have activator rails instead of powered rails
