Instead of making pistons launch the player, which could mess up some traps or buildings the player might make, why not allow the creation of a "Trampoline piston"?
The recipe might look like:
Where the Cooked Porkchop is Leather and the Slab is a reglar Piston.
Mobs standing on trampoline pistons will be pushed in the direction of the piston, which will extend and quickly retract on contact with the mob. (Similar to an Aerial Faith Plate from Portal 2) If a block is placed on the trampoline piston, when activated normally with a switch, pressure plate or lever, it will be pushed one space into the air as if it were a regular piston. If the block is affected by gravity, the block will be launched 2 blocks into the air before falling back down. If 2+ pistons are placed facing towards the same empty space and multiple are hit at the same time, none will trigger.
Just an idea for the Pistons update... Any thoughts?
I like the idea. I think the idea of Pistons will very well turn into multiple pistons, such as your "trampoline" piston idea. On the minecraft Wiki there were spikes supposedly being put into the games as a spike piston, but Jeb stated it would be a stand-alone. I think there will be many different types of pistons in the near future.

Not necessary. There's a reason Jeb took launching players out of the programming for pistons: it just isn't necessary and would cause more players to kill themselves than anything else.
That said, I would still like to be able to launch blocks like sand and gravel, but we don't need an entirely separate piston for that.
Jeb has not only demonstrated, but he has even said that pistons will NOT launch the player. Have you even seen Mojang's piston video?
No ****ing ****. That is the entire point of this ****ing thread. Why don't you learn to read, read this thread, and then contemplate whether or not you would like this idea.
I for one, support it. Launching people in the air is fun :biggrin.gif:

Been noticing this phenomenon more where people who hold standards that above average are silenced while those with standards lower than average are viewed as pleasant and preferable. No wonder mass media is in such ****.

Way to be harsh... damn dude...
Anywho... let's just have pistons launch the player so you can make a "trampoline" with a piston, and a clock.
