More information regarding placement on transparent blocks can be found at Opacity/Placement.Ī placed rail configures 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 causes the rail to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.
Rails visually float 1⁄ 16 blocks above the ground, with an outline 2⁄ 16 blocks high.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. any of the above underwater (making the rail waterlogged).the top of an upside-down slab, upside-down stairs, or trapdoor.the top of any full block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, glass, 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.
