Well, everybody has to make sacrifices. Even just for a little while. Besides, the API will probably revive some of the tech. blocks like lit furnaces and stuff. Yeah, so what AZ said. At least maybe wait for 1.8 The Food Update or something? Those mapmakers and server runners may try to find a way around it anyways. Well, maybe.
They really don't serve a point. The piston extension, for example, serves no purpose to the player. It cannot be placed, crafted, used, worn, NOTHING. It just sits there as tile.null. And the redstone lamp, no point in having an on one, it updates upon placing anyway. This removal will probably also clear up some space for modded items, so more things can be implemented for modifications. I'd say it is a great idea. What I don't get is that they still haven't removed the locked chest.... ._.
Yeah, so those are in my opinion, correct statements. But either way, I accept either side's arguement. If ever this turns into a full out debate with Mojang.
Why are technical blocks being removed?
