Breaking and re-laying track so that the intersection block is laid last will update the intersection block as a curved section.

If a track is placed perpendicular to an existing length of track it will show as a straight rail, but in fact will be curved according to the patterns for tee junctions as seen above and mine carts going through the intersection will turn the corner.

Other configurations can be created by placing and removing rails. Rail 'prefers', in order: west, east, south, and north.

If placed next to an existing rail that is one block up or down the rail will slant up or down to join it.An existing straight, north-south rail will re-orient to east-west when a new block is placed to its east or west sides.If placed between three adjacent rails (thus always forming a T-junction) the newly placed rail will be placed as a curved track south-to-east, north-to-east, or south-to-west to join those sides.Įxisting sections of track may be re-oriented, become sloping, or even change into curved sections when new rail is placed adjacent to:.This means that it will be placed as a straight or curved track as needed. If there are two adjacent rails on its level, or one level up or down, the newly placed rail will configure itself to connect the other two.

If placed beside an existing stretch of track (of any type) the newly placed rail will be straight and oriented north-south.

If placed at the end of an existing stretch of track, the new rail will be a straight track section oriented to continue the existing track, either east-west or north-south.

If there are no other rails adjacent it will be placed as a straight track oriented north-south.

When placed a rail will configure itself to be straight or curved according to rail blocks around it. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach a rail to the side of the fence will cause the rail to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.

the top of a hopper, upside-down slab, or upside-down stairs.Ī rail cannot be attached to the side or bottom of any block, but attempting to make such an attachment may cause the rail to attach to the top of a block under the destination space.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).To place a rail, use a rail item while pointing at a surface facing the space the rail should occupy.

A sequence of rails (including regular rails, activator rails, detector rails, and powered rails) is called a track. A rail can be used as a minecart track and as a redstone component.
