    I'm not sure if this is possible, but I think it would be extremely helpful to have pistons that could extend more than 1 block. Perhaps something like the more pistons mod?

    If anyone could create something like this I would be forever in your debt.

    Thanks!

    That's a new block. Not possible without client modification.

    I dont think its possible but isn't the piston arm and different block so couldn't you just add more piston arm blocks?

    I wonder if it could just use the shafts, because that it a different block than the base. If this "new piston" could stack the top blocks it wouldn't look too Nice but it might work.

    Yea, that's what I was thinking. As long as it works, I would love to have longer pistons, even if they're ugly.

    Just saying this is 100% possible. You could add a new crafting recipe which gives a piston renamed "Extended piston" by surrounding a piston in stone, to give the illusion of a new item. When this piston gets placed, you could save its location and whenever it gets powered, make it double extend :). You would also need to make the "Extended Piston" item drop when the piston is broken. I don't have time to code this, just proof-of-concept. You're basically adding a new item to the game.

    So, will you do this?

    Edit: Just read the part where you said you don't have time. :(

    CraftBook can do this. The BetterPistons "SuperPush" and "SuperSticky" mechanics.
