Basically I had an idea for a mod to add new type of pistons to the game. Currently there are 2 types. They would mostly function like current pistons however they would have some slight different abilities.
TYPES:
Longer Arm Piston- The piston would push blocks 2 meters forward instead of just 1 meter. However, if only 1 meter of space is available, it would only push them 1 space.
Automatic Piston- This piston would automatically push forward when a block is placed of generated in front of it. (ex: sand falling) Powering it with redstone would still make it extend normally.
Grabber Piston- It would work the same way as automatic pistons only with sticky pistons. And it would only extend if the block is 2 spaces in front of it with a block of air between.
Magnetic Piston- It would work like a normal piston but instead of pushing what ever it touches, it would push all the block 12 meters ahead of it. Up to a bed rock, obsidian, or another unmovable object. The magnetic field would not be able to pass through it.
Magnetic Positive Piston- Same thing as the piston above only it would act like a sticky piston instead of a normal piston.
Gentle Piston- Would be able to push around Transparent block such as redstone and flowers.
Launcher Piston- Throws all entities it pushes several block ahead instead of just pushing them.
Diamond Piston- Can push block up to 32 block instead of the normal 12
Mega Piston-Can push up to 100 blocks instead of 12 or 32.
Chain Piston-When pulled by a sticky piston or another chain piston, it would pull any blocks in front of it. (much like from the original piston mod) Otherwise it would just act like a normal sticky piston.
Crusher Piston- It would compress block down into their simpler form when it pushes 2 of them into a non-movable block. (cobblestone=smooth, sand=sandstone, gravel=clay, end-stone=end portal frame, half-tiles=their full blocks)
Breaker Piston- When pushing several blocks, if the piston cannot push again when powered,(ex obsidian, bedrock, 12 block limit) it would turn the block closest to it into item form. So you can make automatic cobblestone farms. :smile.gif:
