[MC-54565] no. of blocks pushed by pistons can't be increased by adding more pistons

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if its not supposed to happen but, if one piston is pushing 14 blocks horizontally which is obviously two blocks over the max. Should that not mean that if i were to place a second piston along side the first piston shouldn't that help compensate and then move the blocks ?

I believe currently, each piston separately computes the number of blocks to push. So, in your example, Minecraft doesn't see it as two pistons trying to push 7 blocks each - it sees it as two pistons each trying to push 14 blocks.

i think that they should change that then to allow many blocks to be pushed

then this becomes a feature request, because this is intended to happen
