For all other (utility) minecart types, the optimal spacing of powered rails on a level track is to use 1 every 27 blocks for empty utility carts (1 powered rail followed by 26 normal rails). A full utility minecart requires much more at 1 every 6 blocks.
How many rails between powered rails uphill?
Approximately 1 out of every 3 rails must be powered to travel uphill due to gravity.
How do you place powered rails?
A powered rail can be placed on:
- the top of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), including full-block mechanism components (command blocks, dispensers, droppers, note blocks, and redstone lamps)
- the top of a hopper, upside-down slab, or upside-down stairs.
How do you make a powered minecart?
To create a minecart train, lay down some regular track with one open end. On the open end of rail, place a furnace minecart and a passenger or chest minecart on the other end. To activate the train, right click the furnace while holding coal or charcoal and the carts will move in that direction.
How many blocks between a powered rail and a ledge?
So to get the same result you need to bring the powered rail 4 blocks closer i.e. 33 blocks between powered rails with a ledge in between. This can be extended for any number of ledges by subtracting (ledges x 4) from 37. Hope this helps anyone else who wonders. Nice post and answer.
How many feet apart should railing posts be on a deck?

How often to put power rails / tracks in Minecraft?
2) 1 rail every 38 blocks lets you travel just under max speed the entire way. (It’ll take 1 second longer than having rails spaced closer to travel 2k blocks). 3) An powered rail that isn’t receiving power can stop a cart.
