            <title>[MC-791] Rails are not placed in the direction the player is looking</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-791</link>
                <project id="10400" key="MC">Minecraft: Java Edition</project>
                    <description>&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;Thebug&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The bug&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you place a single rail of any type (&lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; adjacent to any other rails), it always faces north-south instead of the way you&apos;re facing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The behavior should match that of other directional blocks, which are oriented based on which way you are facing when you place them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It very interesting, it seemingly breaks at random.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

&lt;p&gt;&quot;If you place rails &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; next to another rail of any type, it always faces north-south instead of the way you&apos;re facing.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The issue is that when any type of rail is placed by itself, it always faces the same direction. The description is definitely confusing, though. I have updated the description to be more clear.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you place rails not next to another rail of any type, it always faces north-south instead of the way you&apos;re facing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But that is not true, it does neither of those. Instead, it faces in the direction of the other rail. Or a curve towards two rails if there are two next to it.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

It differs from the Fixed status as this one is given a version number with which it is associated. Once the version in question is added to the bug tracker, at that time the developers can change the status accordingly. And just to clarify, resolution statuses are first and foremost intended for the developers and their internal systems. Regardless which status is publicly displayed, the developers are indicating that this issue is one which will be corrected in a later release.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

Making things work differently is the very essence of bugfixing. As for this report not outlining how this could be problematic, that&apos;s because it&apos;s already indirectly implied.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So please reopen this perfectly good report on an utterly nonsensical and outright inconvenient bug within Minecraft. (Don&apos;t forget to update the affected versions if you do so.)&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

This report is indicating that the placement should not follow this, but work differently. For that reason, it is a feature request. I believe there are other bug reports outlining how the current placement method is problematic, and as such could be a bug, but this report does not.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
