			Three or more minecarts can be merged by placing multiple minecarts on the same rail or by dropping them on a rail from above. Merged minecarts move as a collective, like a train, and can be useful for long-distance transport because while moving in a straight line, they do not need powered rails to keep their speed.

	* ~~Minecarts can also be~~ merged ~~by dropping a minecart on another minecart, but only if that minecart is on a rail~~.		* Pushing merged minecarts might cause them to unmerge.
