Disable Block Updates

[Blepppo]

I was wondering if there was a way to disable block updates? Im trying to place an area of rails facing the same way, but they update each other and make the rails go in different directions. Help?

I know you can use world edit to place rails that face one direction, but I don't know much of any other ways. Maybe you can use vanilla's /setblock

Hey, thanks for the question! Minecraft has a built in feature just to fix that! Its called a debug stick, and you can use it to update a block certain ways. To obtain it, use /give <username> debug_stick. Once you have it, you can click on the block you want to update, and it will change. Both left and right click change the property you want to change, and the property value. Feel free to quote this with any other questions you have!
