I figured this needed a thread. Here you can post piston contraptions you've made/are making. You can also post tutorials on how to use pistons in cool ways.
Some basic things I've made:

I hope this megathread gets popular, I love me some pistons.
I made a basic concealed door in a cave with sticky pistons, but that's as far as my redstone talent stretches. :smith:
This should be an incentive for me to learn more about it though- I foresee many possibilities.

Ooh that reminds me, I want to make a classic hidden bookshelf passageway. It'll be like something out of scooby doo!

I love this, great way to hide bases and whatnot. I love how pistons has started getting people interested in redstone, minecraft is really becoming a much deeper game.

I agree, my lack of redstone knowledge is still preventing me from making more advanced piston contraptions though :saddowns:
I'm thinking about using this for some computer stuff, but I won't be fiddling around with it just yet.

I actually never used redstone before 1.7 and its a bit overwhelming but I'm learning, slowly.
I would recommend not standing on top of a sticky piston and activate it
it crashed my game hahahaha
Just made this simple item moving system aswell.

It moves items at the end of the water stream across, then up then pushes them to you for collection. It isnt very usefull seeing as you could just make the water end there to start with but oh well.
Also it doesnt always move the items first try for some reason :saddowns:

Same thing used in the end of the 1.7 trailer, but if you make them retract it corrupts your save.

Wow, you should call that machine "The Notch" because it can automatically break the game! :v:
I made a self repairing wall, I might take a video later

I already placed a lever that retracts them, and it is telling me to push it. Well should i even try to make it work?
I call this one the Anti-Matter Nuke. It WILL destroy your world and crash servers.

Might someone explain to me what pistons are and how to utilise them? I haven't played Minecraft much in a while and pistons seem rather interesting.

Pistons are devices able to push and pull blocks. They are activated by redstone charges.
I really wish pistons were capable of pushing other pistons, I had a great idea for an automatic mob blocker but I couldn't get it working.

1.7.2 has defused your nuke, i just tried it out.

They can. They can push a deactivated piston, but not an active one.
