While I was working on a bridge, this thought just stroke me. In BTW we have pulley and rope to move platforms vertically, but they don't move horizontally. Adding this feature would allow us to create more complex machines such as escalator and can provide means of transportation that normal water...

Wow. Can you imagine attaching the anchor to a glowstone and lowering it down a discovered/created mineshaft? Would be interesting if you could also raise and lower a storage box as well.

This is true. Perhaps there should be two suggestion threads, one for serious ideas for which the suggester has a well-reasoned explanation as to why his suggestion fits into the scope of the mod, and another for jokes, personal requests, and any suggestion that one might feel is of questionable va...

This is a really cool idea! It could be used as a redstone free way to have timed bridges or gates. It wouldn't be able to act as backup power for something that was previously being powered by a windmill, though, unless gearboxes are changed to be able to have more than one input. Whoops. Forgot a...

Exactly. Basically I'm suggesting that drop-physics be added to platforms, except when supported by ropes. Or maybe add the option for platforms to be used as a one shot power source. Say everything is powered by a windmill, but it's raining, so that gearbox is disconnected. The platform is at the ...

Steam room to relax in after a hard day of construction?

I've made an alternate version of my hemp farm using only vanilla Blocks. (though I'm depending on FC's minecart tweak) It's another copy of Battosay's design (Still stockpiling your 10%) ;) at least for the general position of Plants, water streams and "Harvester" block : I didn't use an...

Wire the detector block to the pulley block - it should act as a brake instead shutting down the gear box (causes you to go up and down).

Unless there is something hidden in one of the videos made after Notch turned off the version number, the primary hint that I noticed is at the very end. Listen closely, there is a whistle. The Age of Steam, she approaches. That's just giving me so many ideas my head is starting to spin, especially...

Submarines.

Doesn't fit in BTW, but from Flan's Planes mod for 1.6.6, they could go underwater. Still limited by the amount of air Steve can breathe.

Chalk up another one to the wooden buildings. I have a strange fascination with tree houses, made out of huge forests. Minimum amount of modifying, usually just flattening a layer of leaves, and building a wooden hut in it. One time I dared fate with a brick fireplace, and the rest is history. Ende...

You'll need either a detector block at the level you want the platforms to stop at or a timer up at the pulleys to make them stop once they've reached a certain height. I'm not quite certain what you mean by letting the pulley blocks to be lifted higher though or what clutter that would be? Timer w...

Thanks :) That was one of my builds. I can't even find the post myself now so I'll just repost the images: The stairs are hidden away in the ceiling when not in use: http://i.imgur.com/4Uwnx.jpg The mechanical power is a very simple setup and can easily be adjusted if you want to add more steps and...

Hello.

I've been lurking on the Minecraft forums for a while and began adding to the .jar file around a month ago. BTW was the first one I added and I love it.

Looking forward to seeing what gets added in the future.
