Extended Pistons
๐๏ธ tryashtar ยท 31 points ยท Posted at 04:00:02 on November 6, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Hey! Here's a contraption I made with command blocks for Minecraft 1.11. I tried my best to pack as much interesting stuff into fifteen seconds as I could, but there's some features I didn't cover.
Placing them next to each other is a pain in the *ss, you should change it so you put the pistons inside the dispenser and it adds them then to the counter

Originally, that was how it worked. But I ran into several issues:
You need a separate command for each possible number of pistons in the dispenser. This effectively locks me at one slot, and limits the max length to 64, which is not optimal, as well as having a ton of unnecessary commands.
The piston still fires an item when it's powered. My only real option is to kill the piston as soon as it appears, then replace them using /replaceitem. But what if it didn't shoot a piston? It shouldn't kill or replace. Or what if it shot a piston, but not out of the designated slot? Even if these problems were addressed, I would need 64 more bloating commands.
Okay, I guess there's just two. But they're big ones ;)
How about you place the piston inside and it get removed from the slot and you add +1 to the piston counter from the piston? So the dispenser is empty when you fire it

It also sets up a few basic gamerules and moves the spawn so that the spawn chunks go from (0,0) to (255,255). Just make sure your superflat world is 49 blocks high!

Would be bice, if Mojang would add this to Vanilla minecraft!
^
I would actually like some kind of magnetic block. It can be attracted or pushed away.
Like:
[X] MAGNET / [#] pushable block / _ Air / [?] any block that is moveable
1. Push
[X] [#] [?]
[X] _________________ [#] [?]
2. Attract
[X] _______ [?] _______ [#]
[X] [?] [#]
Now imagine the possibilities with this. And then add slime blocks to that. So much stuff you could do with this

I've had the same idea for such a long time... Plus, what if magnets interacted with each other in a sort of cellular automata type thing? :D

Cellular automata in Minecraft? Yes please. Rule 110 first.
I hope I can create something that uses the full potential of this wonderful contraption. I'm in the middle of big project right now, but I look forward to playing more with this and seeing what I can come up with.

To get this in your own Minecraft world, paste the command linked here into an orange command block and power it.

It will create a second orange command block. Paste the following command in there and power it.

Not a bad idea. I'll see what I can do.

When people forget that pistons were once an awesome mod with already integrated double and tripple extending pistons...

I remember. Had some fun times making a room with the floor made of pistons.

Member when pistons used to launch you in the air?
Oooh, I member
jabonko ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 15:06:27 on November 6, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
Out of curiosity: what makes the floor move with the pistons in the "How's it going" one?
๐๏ธ tryashtar ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 15:10:13 on November 6, 2016 ยท (Permalink)
That's me and the sign moving! It's just smooth as silk.

OH! So it is... I didn't notice it was the slimeblock pushing you and the sign.

Holy shit. That is indeed smooth.

Awesome contraption! I saw the video a while back but it's still just as mind blowing.

Wow, I could see this being used in adventure maps and such.

I can't imagine why I need this. But your green checkerboard land is marvelous!

Thanks! It's really helpful for viewing where chunks are and where spawn ends.
If you want your world to have this, here's the setup command:

It also sets up a few basic gamerules and moves the spawn so that the spawn chunks go from (0,0) to (255,255). Just make sure your superflat world is 49 blocks high!
