I was thinking along similar lines recently - with rotating blocks, and some way to make the rotate at a given speed, all sorts of mechanical things could be made! The main issue I can see is that, well, everything's a cube, and I'm guessing it'd take a fairly substantial rewrite of the basic game engine to allow for rotation. Alternatively, like graphitone said, some sort of gears system might work if the gears were entirely contained within blocks. Hmm.... FORJ \| piXY \| Soda \| QuickSlide \| Boxel

Aye, gears in a blocky square world :-S .

I like the idea of containing them in blocks - maybe something like the redstone circuit shrinker mentioned a couple of posts back - you get your gears worked out in a configuration, stick/map the whole assembly in a storage box which outputs it into a single block.

Drawings n' that

Aye, summat like that. Then again, what would you actually do with a machine-in-a-box? If it can't affect other blocks, what's the point? FORJ \| piXY \| Soda \| QuickSlide \| Boxel

Stick an axle through it and have a motorised unicycle.

Better than travelling on a pig. :-Y

Seriously though, it could have an output side or axle that turns or oscillates side to side. But maybe that's too far from the Minecraft idiom.

I saw it in a youtube video once, I assume someone used a mod, but then that's how pistons started, so it's definitely feasible.

Aye but pistons only move in straight lines, which is much more readily compatible with a cube world. I mean, what happens next here? FORJ \| piXY \| Soda \| QuickSlide \| Boxel

The rotating thing stops. Maybe it bounces. Where's the ambiguity? Mobs already move in more directions than the three fixes axes. Collision detection would probably need updating if it's possible to walk between two 45 degree sections, and perhaps things like lighting and water flow would be affected, but I wouldn't see it as a hugely disruptive/unimplementable change. `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

think Ant is waiting for CraftBukkit to get updated for 1.8 [edit] discussion thread here - doesn't seem very stable yet [edit2] seems to be some progress with the dev version Jon

Seems the CraftBukkit team are still bug testing/developing the new version. No official release yet which means that none of the plugins have been updated yet.

I've also noticed that our permissions plugin has had development stopped, joy.
