Why not just use pistons?

-_-

What, Austin?

Torches, crops, string, redstone (which will normally turn into obsidian when near lava, but not in minerealm I was told) and redstone torches (probably missed a few) all do not get displaced by water. Crops are easy to fix because they can be harvested by turning out the lights (I don't think this works for netherwart though). I built this into my realm farm design. All the floors are 6 layers total - cobble with dirt above that and then 4 spaces (the 4th has lights and the first air space has covers over the "wells"). I can turn my glowstone lights to redstone lamps (same light level) and use them in combination with water pours to harvest automatically.

This glitch/irregularity was in Minecraft at one time (I think it was an unintended bug after an update, 1.8 beta?) but has been part of Minerealm as long as I can remember.

No reason for any crops not to be broken by water.

Nah man, auto-harvesters.

Sorry, it was a double-negative. I was agreeing that all crops should be water harvestable.

Oops lol, I must have been multi-tasking when I read that.

As long as it doesn't break my auto cane farm design.

There was actually an in-game vote on string behaviour just before the wipe which sadly failed.
Would have been interesting to see the aftermath of roobs realm though.

This is the first I've heard about a recent in-game vote on it, but I'm quite happy that it has remained unchanged. String behaviour has already been the subject of a formal suggestion by Intelli and as a result was designated as intended behaviour. Because of that I (and likely others) have relied on string instead of signs in many of my builds, and any change at this point would result in a huge amount of rework being required.

Okay, I support water-harvesting netherwart. THis will save time and I can pipe it directly into my drug lab.

I also wanted to say that, in regards to using string to hold up water, I have always used signs for the reason simply that it makes it so I can recreate my design perfectly in a singleplayer world, or copy it over from one. (Also, hiding secret messages )

Honest.....it happened
At least I'm pretty sure it did.......maybe I'm going insane
