Minecraft 1.7 coming sooner than expected
« on: June 28, 2011, 05:40:15 PM »
[float=left][attach=1][/float]Minecraft 1.7 will be released earlier than expected.  It was planned to be a release of the adventure mode and a few smaller updates but people really want pistons so those will be released as 1.7 and adventure mode will be moved to 1.8.  It's unclear if 1.7 will include the new underground chasms that have been developed or not but it should include some bug fixes.  The pistons look to be incredibly useful.  From what I understand they were made as a separate mod to minecraft and now are being implemented into the full game and have the capability for some truly awesome new setups.

Yesssssssss. Too bad I'm not playing MP anymore. I'd rather play on a whitelisted server. Got tired of being griefed.

And suddenly, pistons go from useless to very useful in my eyes.

Flood them away... with LAVA!

Hmmm...it blocks water, so I suppose it blocks lava in the same manner too. Cool.

Too bad there still isn't a more automated way of farming obsidian.

There's a mod for infinite lava, I think...

Mods without the mod API that Notch intends to make are a risky thing at best. Update the game and they break. And then you have to either wait for the author to update the mod or drop it.

I have an idea!

Make one of those bunkers out of stone like the one in that image floating around, one with windows that can be covered with stone slabs and stuff from a basement with those pistons.
Depending on how long you can make them. :D

You can make a piston push a stack of up to 12 blocks. But said stack only moves one block of distance, which is the maximum length of the Piston.

To move stuff more than one block away, one has to start stacking pistons, I think.

Damn.

I wish there was a way to craft longer stuff.....
Also some more materials would be cool.
Insert science in there. :D
Oh well. :D
