Since notch made Sticky Pistons why not add more different type of pistons?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power pistons would be pistons that launch players up, sideways, or down or push blocks farther than normal pistons.
Power Pistons would be made like sticky pistons but instead of slimeballs it would be diamonds.

Please leave constructive criticism.
{EDIT} Pushes more blocks than normal pistons/Can be callibrated to shoot farther or shorter

Want to launch players? Use the mod. Want to push further? Use multiple pistons.

Hypothetical: You read a thread in the Suggestions forum. You suddenly realize you've seen the idea before. Maybe it's a duplicate? No. Maybe it's just you? No. Maybe it's been done already? Very likely: Click here if there's a mod for that.

Using multiple pistons can be both costly and an eyesore when your trying to hide the pistons and wiring. Compacting the ability of multiple pistons into one isn't a bad idea, it would just have to come at a higher cost then normal pistons.
is the only reason why I would support a launching piston. And sandwaves aren't enough of a reason to create a whole new item. Mojang deliberately left out the ability of pistons to launch things.

I guess you work at Mojang and that's how you know their exact reasons for doing things?
I support this idea, although I don't think it makes sense to use a diamond as the material to make a "launcher" piston. I'm not sure what should be used though.

I was thinking rubber or something but how would that be made?

Costly? They're made of some of the most common resources in the game. Any "higher cost" would be too insignificant to justify such a thing.
And Mojang removed the launching ability for a reason so...Yeah, the mod's available for that.

Or Jeb uses Twitter. Guess we do know their reason for doing it.

It's still costly to make a bunch of pistons, maybe not for material count but there's also space to think about. And I'll say it again multiple pistons are an eyesore when your trying to hide the wiring.
People like to keep their minecraft vanilla anyway, why not include the added functionality of multiple pistons into one?

Because the devs said no. It isn't like they just copy and pasted the code, changed the texture and recipe, and parts of it just HAPPENED to not work. They looked at it, decided not to implement that feature, and put it in how they wanted.

theres mods for practically everything and using multiple pistons is costly
