The 1.7 update is not the &lsquo;Adventure Update&rsquo; previously discussed by developer Markus Persson; that has been pushed back to version 1.8 due to its scope.<\/p>\n<p>According to developer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/jeb_\" target=\"_blank\">Jens Bergensten<\/a>, the 1.7 update will include pistons, shears, redstone\/repeater fix, fences on fences, and new cobblestone and clay textures. It will not include the new lighting system.<\/p>\n<p>While the other improvements are definitely welcome, the new pistons are quite compelling, as they introduce the ability to displace a block by one space. The creative implications of this will likely be vast for those who like to experiment with the more complex machinations of Minecraft.<\/p>\n<p>A video celebrating the introduction of pistons in Minecraft 1.7 gives some insight in the potential for this new gameplay element.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"340\" height=\"204\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/uo4UFb2YKI0?version=3\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"340\" height=\"204\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/uo4UFb2YKI0?version=3\"><\/embed><\/object>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/15261-Minecraft-1.7-update-goes-live-today-a-piston-trailer-has-launched\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Minecraft 1.7 update goes live today, piston trailer launched\">Minecraft 1.7 update goes live today, piston trailer launched<\/a><\/strong> &lt;&lt; Comments and views<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft 1.7 will include pistons introducing many creative building possibilities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12667\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
