Hello everyone! I've been playing minecraft for a while now, and there is one thing that really irks me. You can't link minecarts! I think you should be able to link minecarts, to make a train of sorts. That way, you can carry yourself and some items with you into a tunnel without the gap in between carts.
How this works:
You place the minecarts on the tracks next to each other. Then, by crafting a coupler (iron in between two string or something), you right click both minecarts and they are connected.
How is this practical?
-More realism
-A new use for the powered minecart? (Like a steam engine kinda deal)
-A new use for the storage cart?
Let me know what you think!
Before you flame me, I did search and I didn't see anything like this.
I agree that this should be implemented, I now it is anoying, but I don't even think modders have made anything for this. this means that it is incredibly hard to code, even if you are notch.

Actually, the trains mod had this implemented for a short time. So it is possible.
does anyone even uses minecarts at all? Do you really move so much recource around?
I don't even use motorised cart - just the charged rail.
Actually, I see your point. But, if this was added, would you use minecarts more often? I know I would. Plus, the traditional powered minecart is technically more convenient than powered rails for the people who don't cheat.

That's not really the same idea, and its much more tedious.

Wasn't calling you a cheater XD. I just meant the general population of MC.
The only big issue practically is the added weight and therefore the change in speed acceleration/deceleration in any given terrain.
Plus, each biome is now larger in 1.8 making necessary additions to mine carts for those with large domains and this would help a lot.
