What would be the specific applications of a room temperature superconductor?

Okay, so probably more efficient electronics and power grids, MRI machines without helium, probably easier maglev tech, ...?

It would take maglev from a laboratory technology to a common one. That would be an enormous boon to rail tech, especially in high density corridors.

especially in high density corridors.

It would require building additional tracks (that would be expensive to maintain), so doubt it.

I don't disagree with you, but for the sake of keeping a hopeful tone, let's say that all of this is in Minecraft.
