Ok. i was thinking "Wow i cant wait. pistons will be really cool!"
But then i just put in my mind that peoples would make simple tnt cannons and ruin ppl homes...
Well i know, "Make it out of obsidian, rebuild your home, etc"
But pistons can move ANY block, right? so about 3 pistons can destroy a door, move a chest, and actually, if about 5 used, can ruin a whole home. moving blocks everywhere, etc.
Ok, all these problems can be fixed exept one...
Chest stealing (on servers with locked chest plugins)
A piston will push em
Get more pistons and the griefer can get the chest anywhere...
I hope notch does something to prevent so much griefing in SMP servers
Well, i'm sure there will be bukkit plugins that limit the use of pistons. Like, it can't move chests, doors, blocks under doors, blah blah blah. Or disable them completely for certain people and them only.
only go on servers you trust maybe? Although, you can't stop everyone from being an asshole and griefing, I just don't understand how destroying other peoples creations is fun in any way.
Well. but making obsidian homes still take so much time
and actually i asked a admin to tp me to coords x-5000 z 5000. hope noones finds me here :biggrin.gif:
Also what happens if a piston pushes another piston wich pushes another piston.... i think pistons will get past the height limit.
I guess I see your point. Not only would plugins like WorldGuard have to prevent the placement of blocks in the area of your structure, but it'd have to prevent blocks from being moved into the area by way of pistons. That might be tough code to write, but should be doable.
Pretty sure the official pistons will be nerfed, so we don't need to worry about them being used for launchers. Not to mention they can only push blocks by one block. o-o It'd be so troublesome to push a house around significantly.
