Tripwires?

Over the last week in Snapshots, we have seen a lot of exciting things coming up - Ender Chests, villager trading, the merging of SSP and SMP modes into a fluid, single system - what else could possibly be added to this pile of goodies to make it even better? We can think of one thing - tripwires.

Nathan "Dinnerbone" Adams uploaded this video showing off some experiments with tripwire - it appears that it can be set off by crossing the tripwire boundary (as expected), as well as being set off by "using" it much as one would use a switch or button. What other awesome features are on the horizon? We'll keep you posted as they develop!

A Minecraft Wedding

Anyone in attendance at Minecon 2011 will undoubtedly remember - Matt's proposal to Asia on-stage, alongside Mojang! Their marriage is now official, and the wedding ceremony was something any dedicated Minecraft fan could be proud of - Minecraft-themed Jones Soda, which features many of the in-game items and creatures; a number of high-quality character model statues that were on the showroom at Minecon including Steve, creeper and more. There were also a number of hand-made pieces for their ceremony made by the happy couple and friends, such as Minecraft trees and other bits of the world. Other gems included a Minecraft-diamond necklace, and - something no Minecraft party should be without - a Minecraft cake.

From everyone here at the Minecraft Forum, we would like to congratulate Matt and Asia on having easily the most awesome wedding in history, and wish the happy couple well!

This will be good for protecting houses in multiplayer.

Edit: First.

I don't think anyone will be fooled by those tripwires due to that white coloring that is fairly easy to see. Also, the tripwires don't appear to be placable in midair D:

Do you want a cookie or something?

We did not see a fluid merge of SSP and SMP. We saw a horrible system full of bugs, that will fail worse than netflix's qwikster. Fix the things that are in game before you waste our time with things we do not want.

It seems really cool - like the Pistons idea. It should be fixed to meet MC standards (i.e. with the wire, it should be on the floor instead of floating in the air if it's not connected) nonetheless amazing. I'd like to apologize for my lack of knowledge with this topic, but are you basically saying this is going to be added, or just showing it off as a suggestion?

And your saying that Pressure plates are not just as obvious? but people walk over them all the time.

Obviously you have never even looked at any type of code before, Merging SMP SSP is an incredible feat, and will make making servers easier for the less informed individual. Also speak for yourself Dumbass, Im very excited for this update.

Nice! Although the tripwire is kinda obvious because of the triggers on the sides.

I hope the sound is either removed, or changed to be different and very quiet.

You can hide it in indents in the walls.

I think the tripwires are cool and all.. But am I the only one who thinks they are more of a mod type thing? They just seem... out of place..
