Working mechanical objects are on the way to Minecraft thanks to the upcoming 1.7 update which will introduce pistons into the game. Although originally slated for the 1.8 release, the creators have decided to drop it into the 1.7 alongside a handful of bug fixes.
Like everything else in Minecraft, the possibilities of this new addition are almost endless. Now you can not only build a castle, but you can build a castle you can possibly drive. A drivable castle! How cools is that?
There is no solid release date for 1.7 other than "soon" with a "longer than soon" release window set for 1.8. You should also take not that we're getting close to the full release of Minecraft coming sometimes in November. That's right. Minecraft hasn't even been officially released yet.
Think about that.

Not that incredibly big of a deal, Pistons have been around forever if you were a part of the modding community. :P
The big surprise here for me was torches on fence posts. lol

Apparently you can use pistons to stop and start the flow of water. I'm totally going to make a sewage and public water system .O.

Pistons were part of the "Adventure" Update, which was version 1.7. However, the adventure update is taking too long, so they move it too 1.8, leaving 1.7 with pistons, shears, and bug fixes.
1.7 is aimed to be release this Thursday.

Wonder if you can make crushers with these things. I also wish there was still a way to fling stuff around like with the mod pistons so I could make a fling travel system.

Great, more complex machinery I'll probably never understand?
I wish they'd make more new stuff for us simple minded folk.

I have never personally played mine craft, but I enjoyed seeing other peoples work. Kind of interested on what people can build with these pistons.
