Looks sweet, especially the hidden entrance and floodgate, and the 'sticky piston' is a nice idea; maybe have another 'supercharged piston' that sends things flying, like aerial faith plates?

That doesn't sound very appetizing...

Looking like a fantastic addition - wonder what they'll sound like and how many blocks they can push exactly..
I noticed that pistons can also push other pistons, so if wired correctly (that awesome door being a small scale example) I'm willing to bet it could have the capacity to move freekin mountains.
Also, very observant on the cobblestone man.

In the original pistons mod, you could stand on a piston and be flung into the air just like that. However Notch removed this when integrating them into the official game because it "didn't mix with the fantasy setting" or some shit like that. Don't get why he wanted to remove a purely fun feature but I don't get a lot of things about Notch. For example one of the reasons Pistons were delayed was becuase he didn't like the original texture, which was a smooth iron block. Now apparnetly the iron block, which is already in the game, was not "fantasy" enough. So he had them changed to the ugly new design. According to Notch iron blocks are not fantasy but TNT is. I'm not sure what fantasy setting he has in mind but it sounds like a really bizzare one. I thought it made more sense for redstone technology to look more clean and advanced anyways, like the repeater block. The new texture looks messy and cobbled together which doesn't really match IMO.

Overall it doesn't matter what they look like though, just good that they're getting put in. Unfortunately I'm not much of a redstone fanatic so I won't get much use out of them. I'm far more interested in the "scary new mob" Jeb apparently made. Minecraft desperately needs enemy diversity, so any new mobs are a great addition.

The secret door, that is amazing. I could finally have a way of hiding the entrance to my house on servers, so people would not rob me anymore.

And many traps were made that day.

Seriously, I sense a big advancement in trap complexity with this. Well, sure my idea of complexity is a pressure pad that sets off arrows, but hey.

Captcha: Resagra you. Well, resagra you too good sir.

Looks sweet, but I really wish they would move from Java to something a bit more reliable for me.

The water gate is what interested me the most. That will be useful for making traps.

Captcha: For Ntraandi! That's definitely a message from Inglip.

Can you put a piston ontop of a piston? if so then LIFTS!
I was thinking the same thing =D If done correctly I bet one could make an elevator that even stops at the correct floor. =p

If your really having a problem with that, then you need to actually HIDE your shit, not just build a fancy entrance. Trust me, dicks like me will break in and repair the damage. Put your chests under the floor, and build over them. Dont have a lot of stuff in your server(no big fancy strongroom), and make a few easy to sneak in places with hidden booby-traps in them to deter thieves. Hell, make a shack a fair distance away, and hide chests in there.

THATs how your gonna prevent dicks from taking your shit.

I always hide my chests, sometimes even under trees, but being able to mask the entrance to my house as a stone wall, that would be something. I once resorted to just digging a hole to get in and out, but this, this is hiding in style!

That door was REALLY clever. I wish they had some overpowered pistons that send you flying though.....

I'm wondering more if it will work with lava, because that will create some VERY interesting traps.

Ideas spring to mind when I see those pistons...

Secret doors, waterfalls which can be turned off and on, retracable bridges, this will be interesting...

I don't think you can, He showed in the vid you couldn't move workbenches or boxes.
