This plugin adds pistons to your server (no custom blocks).

Here is a video of BasBloem (creator) testing it:


Features:
* Push blocks away from the controlblock using redstone!
* Diamond pushes a maximum of 25 blocks (default)
* Iron pushes a maximum of 15 blocks (default)
* Gold pushes a maximum of 10 blocks (default)
* Config file to change the blocks/maximum push distance
* Obisidian/bedrock/inventory-based blocks (furnace/chest) block it

Nice plugin. I might try this on my server I'll let you know how testing goes if I do.

 

nice!

 

cool
try to make it like the real ones

 

What do you mean?

 

Can you also add the functionality of having one redstone wire or a button power two pistons that are stacked above one another?

Or have one piston be able to push the whole stack of blocks in front of it?

Thanks.

 

You can modify the maximum push distance in config.yml if you're trying to move a large amount of blocks at once.

 

Nice, I have an Idea if you can add it! Make 1 of the 3 push and pull back, like the SSP Pistons mod where the gold ones push blockes out 1 and pull them back in

 

He means make it like this one.

It works almost Identical to the SP Pisstons mod that notch was implimenting eventually. Only this uses Ironblocks and not a custom block type.

I like your idea with this one but we currently use the one I just posted.

 

Lead head im thinking of moving away from the 1 you posted because it has major saving and dupe issues :/ if this added the push/pull piston and a better way to change direction i would swap in a heartbeat.

 

does it push rails?

 

With 1.6 coming soon, was pistons mentioned for this update? if so this plugin will slowly dissapear

 

nope... notch backed off again...

 

Hmm, what about a "type" option in config.yml? It could be "normal" or "sticky".

You can't configure those pistons...

 

Actually, I meant to have
[piston]==
[piston]==
Powered by one redstone and treated as one piston.. makes making secret doors easier..

The other possibility was to have
00000000
[piston]==

One piston pushing two stacked blocks..

 

@iloveportalz0r

Can blocks be crushed if caught between pistons?

 

can it push block upward?

 

I don't know what would happen, but you could try it

I don't think so, I'll try that.

 

so how do you make the pistons? cant find that anywhere.

 

I'm using BukkitPiston v0.53 and it's great, if you could add sticky pistons (which is what a LOT of people are wanting) and have it work similar to BP/the actual piston mod I'd definitely switch!

 

If the pistons crush blocks, I'm definitely downloading.

 

Watch the video or read the original thread.

 

Why dose this only work for the first 5 misn then stop :S

 

If you can get direction changing and sticky pistons then that would be awesome.
I had BukkitPiston for a while but it didnt save the directions properly, thus on every load all the pistons defaulted to up and it broke lots of things, so it got removed. The author still hasnt fixed that bug :/

 

My only complaint is that people can exploit this to get infinite iron.

 

i ment so they can launch you and sand in the air.(i know they can launch sand but not as hi as the real one)

 

If i was to swap to this one I would like to see two pistons crushing blocks like in the real one.. lik whe u have a non moveable block and piston going up stuff like cobbelstone gets crushed back into a pickup.

Like in this vid

@iloveportalz0r

could you make it so when a block is caught between two active pistons it Crushes the block and makes a drop? thanks!

 

Ohi
I just wanna say that I'm not really developing plugins anymore, and if you need the source(If you don't have it already, haha. Then just say so)
Maybe one day I will start developing again

 

Pls update I want piston in 1.6 too
