So, while I have seen other posts that deal with pistons, I haven't seen one with this particular use of sticky pistons. Perhaps my ability to search the forums is pretty poor, if that's the case, I apologize!
So I was trying to make a HUGE front door, a Grand Door or Entrance if you will, and could not figure out anything that would feel seamless. Then I began thinking... What if!
Suggestion 1:
What if Sticky Pistons could:
Push and pull powered pistons (Extended pistons)?
Maintain the sticky hold on a block even when the Piston is not powered?
This would still NOT affect Obsidian, but would add the ability to create larger mechanisms and condensed wiring for them.
Suggestion 2:
What if Slime Balls could:
Be placed in the same fashion as Redstone?
Be collectible like Redstone when you hit it with something else?
Be collectible if you break the block it's placed on?
This, combined with Suggestion 1, would give us the ability for Sticky Pistons to push and pull larger walls or blocks. I have seen a great many YouTube videos that outline how to make doors, gates, and other entry ways... While they function, they are huge machines that are clunky and clumsy, this would change that.
I've had a difficult time finding a negative to this feature... But if there are any, let me know!
Also, I do not use Mods, nor do I want to use them, even if they provide these functions to me. Just throwing that out there.
I always imagined slime balls to be more of a snow ball and when it hits a mob/player it slows it down.
Not a bad thought, it would add new elements to places like PvP and escaping from hostile mobs. I was, however, going for the "Apply it to a block" idea, rather than the "Throw it at something" idea.
