Very Sticky Pistons
VeryStickyPistons
What is it?
VeryStickyPistons is a small and simple Bukkit plugin that is meant to be drag&drop. No configuration, no parameters to set, just put in your server's plugin folder, and launch!
What does it do?
After installation, you will be able to operate sticky pistons quite a bit differently. By default, minecraft only allows sticky pistons to pull blocks when the piston itself is retracting. This mod iterates through any adjacent sticky pistons and causes unpowered sticky pistons to push and pull blocks in whatever direction they happen to face, including other sticky pistons.
Youtube Video demonstrating plugin: See it in action!
Why do I care?
This mod allows players to build much more elegant and complex machinery without additional difficulty using pistons with minimal modification to the server, and no modification to the client.
Limitations
As always, the new pistons follow these rules:
- Pistons will not push/pull more than 12 connected blocks at a distance.
- Pistons will not push/pull entity blocks, or blocks with inventories.
- Pistons will not push/pull activated pistons.
In addition, new pistons will not move objects not directly in line of the pushing piston (first in the chain) that are obstructed in their movement.
Version History
Version 0.1:
- Created base EventListener, which provides basic functionality of new sticky piston behaviors.
Version 0.2
- Fixed a bug with regular pistons not being pulled by sticky pistons.
- Fixed a bug where disabling the plugin doesn't work.
Source code
Bukkit repository is available, as well as github:

Posted Apr 20, 2012Please make it so that it will cancel the retract if a block will be broken in the process!

PS, make it so you can run a command on specific pistons to make them push up more then 1 block at a time, adjustable pistons would be awesome :)

I converted the plugin to the new Event API, so it works on 1.2.3 now. You can get the current version at https://github.com/downloads/packetcollision/Very-Sticky-Pistons/VeryStickyPistons.jar

Posted Dec 26, 2011Hey we absolutely love this mod, take a 500 block redstone design down to 50 - 100 blocks!!! booooyah baby!! now that's excitement. Now if you will make them move minecart tracks, stop them from gobbling up some of the blocks in advanced circuits... ;), spew diamonds into lava from 1000yards .. and a few other cool magic tricks ... This and Integrated circuits is a Sure fire David Coppablock!

Posted Dec 13, 2011I'd love to see this mod support sticky pistons regardless of if they are extended or retracted. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.
Thanks for putting this up!
