1.7 Features Discussion

Since pistons are coming out for 1.7, if Notch doesn't delay them again, what traps would you make is my question. What do you think about the crafting recipe for the stick piston, btw? Slimeball and a piston?
Also, in the comments (depends on when you see the video) the top rated comment is about the new texture of cobblestone at 2:44, I use a texture pack so it doesn't affect me as much but what do you think about it? I think it is a paler version of the current cobblestone.

crushing traps! and flinging ones might be possible too.

I hear talk of Jeb not wanting pistons for "throwing" things.
Although were you talking of something like this

Go to 0:40

Does this mean we have slimes again?

positives: new traps for killing people
new concealment methods of secret passages and stuff
water flow
new affects in game and such


negatives: new methods of grief
probably a million bugs that will come with it
new ways for redstone experts to make me feel stupid

so overall looks like it could be a good update

yeah, i watched the video uploaded by TeamMojang. i saw that secret entrance thing for houses and stuff. that's pretty handy.

Yea, like falsebook but way cooler and hard to make

Orc said if they can be killed then we would. I can't wait for some fun pistons

First thing on my to-do list with pistons test what happens when I put 2 pistons facing eachother 1 block away and activating them at the same time. Just would be interesting to see what would happen, btw anyone know when this update is gonna be released?

Maybe you/Xlt can add some pistons in the mob trap. >_<

That's just really fucking sad isn't it.... From Seeeeeeeecret Friday Updates to people getting EXCITED over a slight texture change.

Is that really your problem? Why could that possibly make you so upset?

>_< Oh great Rana... How can it humanely be possible to read that as "angry" and not as "really dissapointed".

You always appear angry to me, and a lot of other people as well

But Filly-Poo's like the sweetest user on this forum!

He indeed is =3

Honestly I think he appears more as serious, which I guess you could easily mistake for being angry.

On an on-topic note, think of all the wonderful glitches that will come out of this next update

ik. like squishing mobs and grief methods and probably a mess up with weather and who knows it could even kill a few plugins. and with a bit of imagination it could allow the entire minecraft world to be torn to ashes, i cant wait

When the server i admin assisted on updated to 1.4 i believe it was i never again encountered a slime i couldnt kill. then i went on a break until i played orcworm which of course has no slimes so i couldnt test try them again. Pistons are cool, Dont like the reliance on slimeballs to get the sticky pistons, which is what makes all of the awesome contraptions possible, but i'll deal. and i'm with you ciphon i'm still trying to make a double door open by stepping on a pressure plate... reading the redstone wiki article feels like college science to me lol..

ps does PC have fillers permission to use his name in the sig? :-p

I think he has just as much permission as he does to use my name in his sig...

PM me the image, I don't mind resizing it.

@menace

Go to imageshack, resize the picture as the size of an avatar (it says the #x# then says (avatar)), reupload it and you're set. That's how to resize pics for forums. :3

@Orc

I lol'd. You still never offered your insight on a certain S^4 thread about a certain someone. :3

On-topic: Filler's saying it's pathetic that people now get hyped over petty crap when people USED to get hyped over a LOT of cool updates at a time. Classical conditioning, anyone?

And which thread is that, pray tell?

I'm assuming the one about Menace.

(There's nothing bad in it Menace, don't worry)

>.>

Anyway, this is getting off-topic.

Attempt to reroute it: 1.7 update has menial bull crap in comparison to prior updates. Lolnotch is totally unmotivated now that he makes more money than he possibly needs.
