DataValue of Rail ignored when using /setblock /clone /fill

Rails placed using the setblock command will only be oriented by the specified dataValue if there is already a rail at the specified coordinates. Otherwise, it will orient the rail such that it connects to adjacent rails, or if there are none, it will always place the north_south variant.

To reproduce, use this command in an open space:

/setblock ~1 ~ ~ minecraft:rail 9 replace

This will place a straight section of rail north/south. Without moving, use the command again, and the rail will change into the desired type: a curved section facing north/east.

If positioned so that the rail will be placed next to another rail, both rails will change shape in order to connect.

Sorry, but that would, as far as I know, be a feature request, not a bug...

  • 1.8.2-pre1 Note that this works if at the spot where you want to place a rail is already a rail (workaround)

Please reopen because of Searge's Comment

Testing in 1.8.2-pre6, replacing an existing rail with setblock will respect the provided dataValue. However, if there isn't already a rail in the specified block, it will always place the north_south (0) shape.
