That's what I meant, I was aware of that. Sand can also be used to make things easier, allowing vertical pillars mto move away instead of horizontal sections.
I said if Pistons could move chests they would delete the contents, that's why Jeb programmed them being unable to move them. I stated the reason why Pistons can't move blocks that store data. You know, because certain people here might be a little too slow to figure that out, among other things.
Seems pretty unequivocal to me.
I started building a Mansion on Minecraft.
I'm not done yet,even the foyer isn't finished.I got one more wall for it and I have to go on with the rest of the mansion.I'll even include a Library with a hidden room to make use for Pistons once they're out.
So I climbed a huge mountain near my spawn.The top had a hole that goes through the middle and in the bottom there was just a bunch of pigs :/ downer.But I got 16 porkchops and a place for a hideout maybe.Ill take a pic when Im done.
Make it into a volcano. And build a volcano base in the hole.
Start a server with friends on a custom map, \ thrive with making some awesome buildings. etc.
There's a lot of things to do in minecraft..

I've tried, but, I'm using a laptop. Soooo. Even though it can run games, I've tried a server and it was poo-poo. Then when it comes to building, I'm about the equivalent of a 3 yeard old who only knows the shape of a square.
Watch some timelapses, it can be inspirational, it inspired me to build some crazy ass stuff!
Also, add some mods, it can help.

I don't know what to do. I have the money and java to download/buy minecraft beta. But the classic version kept freezing if i walked for 20 seconds or looked around too much. I was wondering whether these problems will be solved when i get it on beta or whether i should clear some space on my laptop. what should i do.
The actual beta has a downloadable version that may fix whatever problems the game has when running in your browser. I can't say for certain, though.
It could be just slow Internet connection.If you download beta,it's not using the Internet connection unless you are on multiplayer.If it lags to much,press Esc. on the keyboard(mainly on top left) while playing single player or click on Options on the main menu and go to Options>Video settings,and turn graphics on fast and change the render distance to something less than "far",if it still lags a bit,press F to adjust the fog so that it isn't to far to make the game lag and not to close that you can't see at all.If it freezes,just wait a while and see if it will continue to work.If not,close the window and the game will Auto save.

This is for the Minecraft Beta, it really helps, especially if you have the lag spike of death.

1.7 CAME OUT

Pistons
The largest update to Minecraft in 1.7 is the addition of pistons. Pistons - the brainchild of Minecraft community member Hippoplatimus - rapidly surged in popularity over the past few months, and were then announced by Mojang that they would be added to the official game.
Pistons are poised to change the way people build in Minecraft - we’ve already seen some amazing mechanisms come from the community, their creativity seemingly knowing no bounds.
Pistons allow the user to move blocks using redstone circuitry to control their action. There are two types of pistons: regular and sticky. Regular pistons will push a block when powered, and then retract when not powered.
Sticky pistons work in much the same way, but with one caveat: they’re sticky! These pistons will push a block away when powered, but pull the block back when retracted.
TNT Changes
TNT can no longer be triggered by clicking on it, which for most, should be a good thing! Instead, you must now use either redstone circuitry, or a good old fashioned flame to ignite the destructive block.
Shears
Shears allow you to cut the leaves off of trees in one quick swipe, as well as trim wool of sheep without killing them. Killing sheep will no longer give you wool however, just the death of a cute, blocky sheep on your conscious.
Stackable Fences
Fences have a welcome improvement for architects - they can now be stacked on top of one-another when placed in the world. This removes the need for complex block-place-remove routines, which until now, were the only way to stack fence posts vertically. Additionally, players may now place torches on top of fences.

There were quite a few piston-related bugs, apparently. They've now been (supposedly) fixed with a new version.
Also, I believe shears allow you to "pick up" leaf blocks.I don't know if you can place them again without a nearby log You can place them again only if they are touching a log block or another leaf block that is, etc. It should make making those giant, custom trees even easier now.
