someone else is pulling at the strings
Something terrible is going down through the entire town
wreaking anarchy and all it brings

It looks like Jeb is going to get Pistons into Minecraft 1.7. This is very good; since I've installed a bukkit plugin to add pistons I haven't played the game without them. It also looks like sticky pistons will be making it as well; albeit Jeb says they're probably going to be spiked pistons.

Unfortunately, they're going to take the player-launching aspect away from pistons. I can understand why, but that was part of the fun of them. Oh well, time to change all those piston launchers I'm using throughout my house into ladders.


This screenshot is from Jeb's Twitter.

I like that look better than the metallic look of the pistons in the original piston mod; however, I think it can be even better. Well, that's what texture packs are for :D.

Pushing dispensers with items in them? Stopping water? Stopping lava? There are still many uses.
Crap dude, you better do what he says.
For seriousness.

Belive me Evilpoptart, the player launching aspect of pistons wasn't that big. Even if it doesn't launch sand or gravel, there are still many, many uses for pistons. Not to mention you made me install the bukkit piston mod because you were excited for collapsible staircases with sticky spiked pistons.

I'm actually thinking that spiked pistons will make a good deathtrap. Ohhhh...... my piston trap is waiting for Minecraft 1.7. :barry:

I do realize that there still are many uses for the pistons, yes I am excited that I can finally use them. I will have to see what they decide on, I must admit my first reaction was ZOMGWTFBBQ?! I will have to experiment but 1.7 won't be out for abit anyway so won't hold my breath until then.

Well, looks like we have a video finally:

I still wanted spiked pistons. Oh well, at least there's a use for slimeballs now.

The wall and staircase example was pretty impressive.

You were suspended for bad grammar then when the suspension is lifted you come back with bad grammar. Please, for the love of God, at least try. Please?

Back from the dead? I think so.
