Why would we forget? All it means is there should be more in the video then there actually is. Adding these features would not make those impossible (except perhaps the standing onto of them. that could be fixed by simply adding a special launching piston).
Maybe not forget, but at least momentarily disregard... or rather, disassociate with the piston itself. I've mentioned this previously, but I will further reiterate; you're point regarding the special "launcher" piston is on the right track. There should be a block that has launching functionality, but the piston isn't necessarily the block for the job (at least, under jeb_'s reasoning...).
So this use of the piston mod requires another mod, and a more exploity/cheaty mod at that, just to be useful. That's just another reason why it's a bad feature.

No, it is just the way that people like the creator of Piston Pinball did require you to be invincible. They had things like you get shot up into the air and then fall 80 blocks down onto another piston. You can set up a transport system like the Piston transport, but you would have to do something like this:
Funnily enough, while I am explaining that you don't need something like SPC to use Pistons I used TMI to give me various items to build it quickly. This actually doesn't damage you, I am damaged because of testing to see where I needed the next piston :tongue.gif:

Are you telling me that that infernal contraption doesn't damage the player at all?

I think you are going to love my Survival Let's Play series on YouTube! It's called Spaceboot1's Garden. I make pretty things.
Are you telling me that that infernal contraption doesn't damage the player at all?
No it doesn't. Because each time, your y position is only decreasing by 1-2 each time, so you take no fall damage. And you really hit the nail on the head by calling it an 'infernal contraption'. :laugh.gif: I threw it together in 5 minutes, so it doesn't look to pretty. :smile.gif:
I would like the launch feature as well, but I see the balance issues with the recipe as well. Perhaps using Obsidian and Iron to create a piston that would create a stronger piston with the launch ability, like so, with red wool representing Redstone Dust.
= Obsidian Piston
I think this would create a good balance while preserving functionality. But I'm an idiot 14-year-old so I wouldn't know :sad.gif:

I wouldn't mind if there were a special piston that launches you, but I honestly don't understand how a piston that launches entities is 'over-powered' or 'unbalanced'.
Please do not even consider making any deviances from your original plan over 200 angry users on the forums. Please, if they insist, ask them to get an appreciable amount of players, say, 30% of the fanbase. That equals 758037 players as on writing.
Thank you!

That's right, this elevator is powered by MURDER and ANIMAL CRUELTY.

Manly blood is both highly acidic AND highly basic, but I'm glad to see you're paying attention.
Is it still possible to make an elevator without the launching? Because that's what I care about. Now that water elevators and ladders are out it's been made 100% more a pain in the ass to climb, which I guess is "in the spirit of Minecraft".
Sorry... but what? Ladders are not out. I used ladders just the other day and they work better than water elevators. Are you a masochistic stair climber?

I don't care anymore now that I know Elevators are more than possible without launching. If you want launching rely on Mods and Bukkit plugins. I would also like my name removed from the petition, but this petition won't change anything so whatever.
What is the point of it launching entities anyway? So what it can springboard players and mobs. Go add Trampoline from bukkit and customize your springboard using different blocks.
I see no reason that pistons would launch things except that the people used to the mod think they should stay the same.
The pistons Jeb posted about look great and seem to work very reliably. I say leave em unless we find some serious bugs in 1.7 when we get to test it ourselves.

I have to say, Jeb is right,
You dont play legit minecraft and use many mods or cheats,
So wtf do you even care?
I play legit minecraft without any mods and i dont want to see lunch effect,
Because its too overpowerd,
Getting the ability to throw to sky people is too powerful for minecraft,
Please keep it survivor and not lego building.
While I wouldn't mind having the launch effect. I think your attitude is appalling. Mojang has a "sheer unwillingness" to us? Are you kidding? Mojang is the one of the only devs that I've seen that actually gets involved with its community and takes their suggestions. While I would like the feature, if Mojang doesn't think it fits than we can just mod it in. It would be a simple mod for SSP and an easy bukkit plugin. If you want a feature that isn't included, make it yourself or quit whining.

Uh, no. Not quite.
Add launching because it's fun

Want to play Minecraft SSP like Spaceboot1? Try my modpack, all mods made by me, Spaceboot1!
