Hello everyone, as some of you may know i got involved with more piston for 2-3 days until smeagol announced a beta version release of his mod again, same night when i was going to sleep, on the edge of lala land came a new idea for a totally new mod with mechanics around the pistons, now, these days getting a new idea that is not implemented is hard, what is the idea?

how about this :

1- disable the vanilla pistons both normal and sticky one, a new block called piston factory and single piston block

2- this single piston will be much harder to make from vanilla

3- it will accept many different upgrades that would make it behave differently for example :

a ) rod upgrade : will accept up to 32 and will extend the piston reach ability acordingly, meaning if you put 1 upgrade it will be normal piston, 3 will be like triple piston of more pistons etc etc

b ) glued : will give back the functionality of sticky ones

c ) hardened : this will give you ability to move obsidians too

d ) Dimentional : will move things attached to piston

e ) Zippy : will push things on top of it to the air works hand in hand with another upgrade called power. the blocks pushed will come down by gravity no mater the block type, just like sand does !

f ) Power : this will change how hard the piston will push the blocks, that will work only on zippy upgrade, for example if you put one power upgrade it will only push the block one block but if you put 32 it will push the block 32 blocks up in the air !

g ) Redstone : this will flip the behavior of piston when it gets powered by redstone

h ) timer: it will have an internal timer for making the piston extend and retract

So, I thought it will be cool and I got started, the mod will not extend from normal piston class, no sir i will develop my own, so that won't brake any mechanics of vanilla piston, that will also help when i get mod ready for 1.7.10 and want to add the mechanics around slime block that came in 1.8 although i think it won't be needed because this mod will give you more control than what slime block gives.
