Enabling Diagonal Rails and Fixing Resource Pack Conflicts

Activating the Pack in Your World

Once the pack is inside your game's resourcepacks folder, open the pause menu or title screen, click Options, and select Resource Packs. Locate Diagonal Rails in the left-hand Available column and click the arrow on its icon to move it into the right-hand Selected column. Any curved minecart tracks already placed in your world will immediately change into straight, angled lines without needing to be broken or replaced.

Fixing Overridden Rail Textures

Because Diagonal Rails keeps the normal vanilla style and only alters corner rail textures, it pairs easily with other resource packs. Minecraft loads resource packs from bottom to top in the Selected column, meaning packs near the top override packs beneath them. If your track corners still look curved after enabling the pack, return to the Resource Packs menu and click the up arrow on Diagonal Rails until it sits above any other pack that changes block or rail textures. Click Done to reload, then inspect a track turn in your world to verify that the straight diagonal corner texture is showing.
