Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Improving Furnace Minecarts Part 2 (Fixing the "Train" Functionality)

This is part 2 of a 3 part series on improving furnace minecarts.

Please fix the "train" functionality of furnace minecarts.  In case you didn't know, you can link minecarts up to a furnace minecart to make a train.  However, there are two problems with this setup.

1. The train completely breaks when it tries to turn a corner or go up or down.  There are ways to fix this with pistons, but I think it would be nicer if the trains just functioned the way they're supposed to.

2. Furnace minecarts can only be placed in the front of a train.  To be honest, I haven't tried this out myself, but I'm pretty confident that they can't be placed in the middle or the back, without breaking the train setup.  If they could be placed anywhere along the train, this would allow people to make really long trains with furnace minecarts placed intermittently.

I think that this feature would really help a lot of people, since it would provide a cheap alternative to powered rails.  Furnace minecarts have a lot of potential and it's a shame to see them so neglected.
