I once made game with planks, wooden pressure plates, and TNT. Needless to say everyone lost.
[QUOTE=RivaGe;30898199][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cix161oQWGA[/media] best elevator I've seen so far. But damn, my ladder takes 1 block space and this alone makes it better than this elevator.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure a mod is being used for that elevator. The panels on the back allow the player to be in the same block, but also allow themselves to be pushed by pistons. It's the only way I can figure out how to do that.
I made [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1106076-Creeps-Inc.-Minecraft-Piston-Construct-Survival]this server[/url] for Piston construction if anybody is interested. As long as you take a minute to fill out the whitelist application you'll probably be accepted.

Well I could make a large 5x5 screen with my ROM allowing for complex animations and pixel art, but I built it in a really inconvenient place where there is no space so I can't do that without infrining on my incredibly useful railway station I use for going between bases.

What the hell, I'm trying to make the most basic piston thing and it won't even work (minimal redstone knowledge). I want a two sticky pistons on top of each other to go up and down by a lever and push/pull a block on top of the topmost piston. I have a repeater for a delay on the bottom one and the top is instantly powered by the lever and it's not working. I don't know what to do because redstone doesn't seem to want to work how I understand it to
[QUOTE=justin1992;31039132]Couldn't you just run the redstone that would go to the screen underground and over to the other side of the station?[/QUOTE] I can't, because I would need to make my ROM bigger, and the ROM is horizontally next to the station.
[QUOTE=Saza;31037957]..they're hatches?[/QUOTE] Hatches get removed when you push them with a piston. [editline]nope[/editline] No, I was wrong, I just did a test and the hatches worked. Thanks, now I can finish my elevator. I'll post a how-to when I do.
Here's a little something I made when pistons first came out. It's the longest possible bridge without any wiring or pistons showing at any time. I highly recommend you open the video in YouTube and take a look at the description. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX0csYdzz0Q[/media]
Does anybody else just hang on "Downloading Terrain" or time out during logging into a server?

It feels so much more immersive in that video than it does when I'm playing alone. All i need is a name, no need to link or anything.
[QUOTE=Armotekma;31040417]Does anybody else just hang on "Downloading Terrain" or time out during logging into a server?[/QUOTE] That happens to me a lot as well, especially when trying to rejoin a server. On a side-note: You must tell me the source of your avatar, please.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;31042525]I need to know how to create that generator.[/QUOTE] Well if you just pause the video I'm sure you could easily work it out. However, you just have the water 1 block above where you want the cobblestone generated, and a hole under it, then just put the lava in at the same level as the cobblestone on the other side. I believe this to be the best set-up as it will only make the "hiss" sound when it successfully creates cobblestone. If you have the water running into the lava, it'll hiss each time the piston moves back, even if it doesn't actually make any cobblestone.
Mine just turns the lava into obsidian. 1. [img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/5924895163_3d43b1f8f7.jpg[/img] 2. [img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6026/5924895213_0f1c49a631.jpg[/img] 3.

I need to refresh before posting. [editline]11th July 2011[/editline] Nevermind, still just turns the lava into obsidian.

Have some images to better explain: [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.46.26.PM.png[/img] Grey is where the cobblestone will be generated, red is where the lava is placed, blue is where the water will [b]end[/b], not where it is placed. [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.49.01.PM.png[/img] Build a glass frame like this [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.50.10.PM.png[/img] Put another bit of glass in the middle to force the water to go down [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.51.18.PM.png[/img] Place your water here [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.52.07.PM.png[/img] Place your lava here... [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.53.06.PM.png[/img] ...and you have cobblestone! [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_04.56.04.PM.png[/img] And you'll probably want to put another bit of glass over the lava so you don't fall in it and kill yourself. [editline]11th July 2011[/editline] Of course, if anyone still doesn't get it (somehow), I can easily make a video. Also, quick note, you can get rid of this glass if you want to run redstone through there or something. [img]http://images.matt-russell.com/ZScreen/SS_11-07-2011_05.41.47.PM.png[/img]
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi8xdVuwNI0[/media] I turned my old stationary spiral hallway into a spinning spiral hallway. Did that as a way to learn me some Redstone circuitry.

It would be faster and easier to use a lava pit lol

But you have to build that entire thing around it or place the block inbetween them in the first place
