Talk:Piston

Guys this is a mod he decided to use see this video for a lot of info http://www.youtube.com/user/Coestar?feature=chclk#p/u/3/rugjyQxKy1s (it has the info about halfway through) --Ash0011 21:39, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Disputed?
Why is this disputed? There's been confirmation. Shouldn't we move this to future? JesusChrist666 00:31, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Small error
The table describing the mod starts and ends with a "/div". Guess the starting parameter should be "div", am I correct? Any way, there is something wrong with the formatting
 * FIX'D. Along with the fact that half the data values are unknown, but that's okay. --Dramartistic 13:13, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Image is same as Booster Rail in 1.5
This raises several questions as to the future of pistons. The largest debate I can see is if Notch is using the image for pistons for booster rails, then will he be creating a new piston, or leaving them to the modders? This would of course bring this page under question as it would need to be edited to fit into the wiki. (also as a new member I am not sure, but from what I have seen the wiki does not often comment/catalog modded content, thus this page may need to be removed.) Also, I have changed the wording of "pistons were not added in 1.5, but will be..." to "... in 1.5, but might be..." as in no post has notch solidly confirmed that it will be part of the game. The tweet from jeb only states that he is talking to the modder, not that it is a sure thing. UPDATE: Thanks to whomever changed the image, i have stricken my previous argument. As notch has confirmed that the piston mod is being added I have stricken my other argument. --Sporkius 16:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Beta 1.6
Where has anyone said that pistons will be added in 1.6? Did I miss a twitter or blog post? Last time I checked, the only new thing being added was maps. Pokachu 22:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and removed it. I think it's safe to keep removing it if it gets readded unless the person adding it can provide a valid source. 「 ダイノ ガイ 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Piston pushing piston
Had anybody tried to make piston push another piston? Piston occupying 2 blocks? --TakeruDavis 17:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. I made it. I'm not sure if I can post a link to my mod here.
 * Jeb_ already knows about it. DiEvAl 11:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * soo... what happens? I havent tried that, I havent tried ANY mod yet, because I have problems with their installation... --TakeruDavis 12:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Both pistons move. DiEvAl 07:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Finite Liquids, Sponges and Pistons
I seen video with mod, which makes Finite Liquids, Pipes and gives new purpose for Sponges. When Sponge takes some water, you can press - right click it to squeeze the water out. Would be great if you can use Piston to squeeze the water by using Redstone signal. Of course two interacting mods are probably even harder to make, but I hope Notch will make either both or at least one (probably Pistons) of them official part of MC. Then it could be piece of cake. What do you think of Piston-Sponge combo? --TakeruDavis 12:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Spikes Their Own Block?
Jeb_ says on his twitter that the method they may use is that spikes may be their own block, with can be used on their own or in conjunction with sticky pistons. Should we have a new article on this? - DarkAuk 01:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * They may be their own block. We should create an article after it's confirmed.
 * It is confirmed http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/78559908211081216

Crafting?
Is there a blank image we could use for the crafting output? It looks ugly with the error text. FelixGriffin 23:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Just don't put an output... – ultradude25 ( T at 02:59, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Moving pistons
But haven't you noticed in the video made by Jeb? Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZJr86d2IUo&feature=player_embedded He constructed a wall that turns into stairs with an entrance, but... It is impossible to create this without moving a piston by another piston! Proof: 2:49 in video - repeaters attaching nothing (that's where pistons move) 2:55 in video - a piston just in the way of the other one! *Sorry for my bad english* --Cith 20:58, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Pistons mod
Is this page both about mod and block, or just block?

If both, we should put Template:Mod here. When I tried to do it, my edit was undone with comment "the mod has no place here anymore, ...".

If only block, Mods/Pistons shouldn't redirect here. That redirect should be deleted.

How many blocks can pistons move at once
Jeb posted on twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/81386768913534976) that piston currently can move up to 12 blocks

Someone please add this to a page because i suck at it.
