Use for slime balls, and a new cobblestone texture!
Looks awesome! I'm most excited for the improvements this will bring for fluid control.

Maybe pistons stacked on top of each other, so one will raise another, raising another and so on? I'm not sure if pistons can move other pistons though.

I believe they can. Pistons can make any block (except air blocks and possibly bedrock blocks) move.

Based on the video, it doesn't look like they can move work benches, furnaces, or chests, unless Notch has changed that since then.

I think it would be good if you could move bedrock, because then you could flatten a bedrock area, yet not get through it (because you can't place them up-side down.

Unlikely though.

The first proper use for slime balls.

I hope 1.7 comes out soon.
My favorite use for pistons is the fact that is can block water. Proper faucet system!

I think the piston human cannons would be quicker.

Piston pipeways could also become an alternative to storage minecarts.
Also, I wonder if pistons could push (not block) water. A proper plumbing system would be great for my skyscraper.

The original mod ones did, thats what I'm sad about the proper ones not having, and if lit TNT acts the same as the sand in the video, then it'll not go work like the original.

He's a pirate. Don't help him.
DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE (At least until his ship is sunk and he is caught and jailed by the Navy.)
