Minecraft Sticky Piston Bug

Published 2011-07-10
This has already been reported, but sticky pistons don't propagate properly when stacked or laid side-by-side. It's a tad annoying, as it makes lifts nigh-on impossible. :(

    Are you sure this is a bug? According to the minecraft wiki: Consider a column of 4 sticky pistons a, b, c and d from bottom to top all facing up. The player can stand on top of d and be pushed up 4 blocks by activating a, b, c, d in that order. However to retract the 4 pistons to their original places ontop of one another, the schedule is: -d, -c, -b, c, -c, -a, b, -b, c, -c; too difficult for most elevators.

    If that is true, then i think one of your pistons has to go back up and down again during the process. The retract schedule sends "c" back up to get "d" and then "b" back up to get "c"

    Is this still in 1.2.5? I can't get a sticky piston to retract a sticky piston at all :l
