Generating redstone torch stops world generating

[1234ab]

Hi, I want to make a rail go through the world, but I can't place the rail.

I tried to investigate and found that the same thing works with normal torch, but it doesn't with the redstone one.

Code:

public static Block blockToPlace = Blocks.TORCH;
    @SubscribeEvent
    public void railGenerator(ChunkEvent.Load event) {
        IChunk theChunk = event.getChunk();
        theChunk.setBlockState(new BlockPos(5,80,5), blockToPlace.getDefaultState(), false);
    }

It works as I would expect (places torches in every chunk), but if I replace Blocks.TORCH with Blocks.REDSTONE_TORCH, generating a new world (and logging into an existing one too IMO) will hang on 0% with the two white dots and 2-2 green and blue circles (with the dirt background).

The same thing happens with RAIL or POWERED_RAIL.

I think its cause may be that the blocks that doesn't work extend another type of block (AbstractRailBlock or TorchBlock), but it might just be something else.

I use MC 1.15.2 and Forge 31.1.0.

I'm quite new so I really hope that I didn't miss anything obvious.

Thanks for your reply!

I tried to look around, but I'm quite lost. Do I need to look into Features, Biome#decorate(), or something else?

I would like it to generate in all biomes, so it would need to be biome-independent.

My goal is to place rails (single blocks) based on the terrain height and adjacent block's height (to create a connected rail).

Thanks anyway!
