One night when I was trying to go to sleep I had an idea for a new piston type, The Magnet Piston.This idea would be pretty simple when a certain piston with a magnet on it(or normal pistons could do it since they have metal on the side in the default texture)comes in contact(somewhere in front of the sight of the pistons head(the part that extends))with a magnet it would push and pull all the blocks inbetween the piston and the magnet i drew a picture trying to explain how it would work, i am not and artist so it looks bad :sad.gif:
Technically, this could be done already, with enough redstone experience, you can do this with 2 pistons. With the right timing, they can shift the blocks.

I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works

It would be simpler this way and you could also control multiple pistons with one magnet
:smile.gif: = magnet
Pictures not working...
use img or something, i dont know, also sounds a good idea, one 'magnet piston' could pull all blocks (within a 12 block line?) between IT and a (regular?) Piston....?
I added a URL to the image so you can click that
Also answering this question:(within a 12 block line?)
as far as a normal piston would push them which i believe is 12 or 16.
Im not sure if it should be regular or not What do you think?
