Its going to be interesting to see how these work on minerealm. Will they work on private plots? Will they cause much lag? Can we use them to remove the wall?

If these are enabled at all the probably wont work if double piston extenders foul up inexplicably after a few uses. And they can cause massive lag if built slightly large even in singleplayer. Whats more is the obvious implications that this type of machine entails. That is of potentially breaching realm protection. I like the idea of using this sticky block feature for maybe some simple elevator or otherwise. But these flying machines, probably better dubbed "inching machine", seem like more trouble than they're worth.

But think of it, PC. We'll be able to make enormous airships that actually fly! How awesome is that?

I'd just like to make a few comments. These are all off the top of my head, and are not official Word of Staff in any way. Trying to quotemine these later will make staff laugh at you.
First: I sort of suspect that flying machines will not be allowed, seeing as they are constant RS lag machines. They do not look like something that is SMP friendly.
Second: I don't think they will be used in griefing private realms. First, if they enter a realm and then get stuck, as far as I am concerned the blocks are now the property of whoever owns the realm. I don't think they will work for looting stuff/pushing a few blocks out of realms, because staff can track that down, and then will come down on whoever did it hard.

I am curious as to whether or not slime blocks will be allowed on MineRealm.
The lag implications of the machines would be a big factor.
Time will tell I guess
