Changes

Blocks

Minecraft:Pistons and Minecraft:slime blocks

• Slime blocks now push and pull blocks adjacent when connected to sticky pistons.
  • Connected to normal pistons, slime blocks only push blocks, but don't pull them.
  • Up to 12 slime blocks connected to a piston in any arrangement can be moved as long as the following conditions are met: blocks do not disrupt the chain, non-movable blocks are not in the way and slime blocks are not attached to the piston itself.
  • Follows all the rules that pistons follow, for example, blocks which can normally be moved by pistons can be moved if attached to slime blocks.
• Extending a piston with a slime block on top of it launches the entity (mobs, players, items, launched arrows, etc.) into the air.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Minecraft:Torches

• Can now be placed on Minecraft:stained glass.
