Plugin category: MECH Suggested name: Stickyblocks A bit about me: I'm a minecraft player who often comes up with (what I think are) good ideas for mincraft but doesn't have the skills to do them myself. What I want: The idea is quite simple, however the development may be hard. I want to glue blocks together. The purpose is that, if one block moves all that are glued together moves, all of the glued blocks move. Perhaps you could use a slime ball on a block and it becomes "sticky" and if you place another block by it they stick (it doesn't glue the block to any blocks it was touching before the slime was placed.) then you could use sand on a block to remove the glue from sticking to new blocks. also a separate but connected idea, is it possible to increase the amount of blocks a piston can push in a bukkit plugin? humm idk. The purpose here is to create objects that can be manipulated by pistons more effectively, and also structures that could move on their own using piston engines! (it would prolly be very resource intensive) Ideas for commands: Hopefully not required? I'm not sure if like a /sticky apply then click on a block and it becomes sticky like if a slime ball was hit, and /sticky remove removes they sticky, and perhaps a /sticky glue then hit the two blocks you want to glue? Ideas for permissions: default:True player.canglue Willing to pay up to: I dont have much money, but if that is required for interest perhaps some? When I'd like it by: Whenever its just and idea I had? Similar plugin requests: Well the idea came from movecraft and Autocraft where the blocks were all connected and moved together, although I have no idea how it works... so i dont know if its even applicable. Devs who might be interested in this: no idea... haha Sorry for the double post, but is this even possible? I would like to know if I should follow this farther?

ok, just wondering, what do you think makes it unable to be done as a plugin? I'm not a developer so I want opinions.
@mikeyagoto The sticky part would be easy, not sure about the piston part, haven't worked with them. I know @hammale has worked with pistons before, you might want to see if he is interested/if it's possible.
@dbizzzle what would be the application/proof that they were sticky if not for pistons? that's the only thing I could really think of.
lol now ur pulling me into this i HATE pistons with a PASSION after pistons+ so ur idea pretty much boils to being able to pull multiple blocks w/ sticky pistons rite?
@hammale ahah sorry, your name just came to mind when I thought about pistons I remember I was interested in some piston request but you came and gobbled it up
o wait....o god it is even more complicated! this sounds liek a plugin ive heard of before..wat was the name???? WAT WAS THE NAME??? o wait its all becoming clear now, MOVECRAFT u may actually be able to do a fair amount of those things w/ it.... o btw do u wanna take over pistons+? PLEASE TAKE IT OVER PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE! EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
@dbizzzle lol i figured such sadly there just aint much i can do for ya here @mikeyagoto but definatly check out movecraft
I've actually used autocraft (similar to movecraft) but this is a bit more... customizable ig? it would be really fun to discover the most effective engine and such, it would be great for my server! I think its my love for redstone that makes me want this, BTW is it possible to stop redstone from breaking on move?
