Apparently, in the latest 1.8 snapshots, a piston pushing a slimeblock will have the physics we used to love from the old piston mod returning to Minecraft. You can bounce high into the air or launch yourself into the distance. People have started designing elevators, jugglers, complex item movers, anything they can think of. And even when not working with the physics of the new slimeblocks, the grabbing mechanic is letting people make fast doors and flying machines.

Do you have any ideas? What kind of crazy piston contraption would you make in 1.8?

Maybe an arrow launcher, or a trampoline

Not sure how well it works with arrow entities. I'll have to try that.

A trampoline is kind of what the slime blocks are, already. They make you bounce when you land on them, removing fall damage as well. Adding in a piston can make it toss you back up, but it might also glitch and kill you, if you are not careful, especially on a server. ^_^;

Proof of concept for the arrow launcher, thanks to Sethbling:
