Shutting the hell up.
Firstly, these pistons are just damn sexy:

Secondly, here's a list from the MineWiki (before Curse went down):
MineWiki said:
  • Adventure update, to flesh out the game a bit and make exploration and combat more rewarding.[1][2] Note that this is not necessarily Adventure Mode.
  • New features in the terrain generator; things which will only appear in new worlds/new generated areas.[3]
  • Shift+Click on items will work correctly.[4]
  • The Clay bug will be fixed.[5]
  • Labels for items will be added.[6]
  • Shears, will be the only way to harvest wool from sheep without hurting them.[7][8]
  • They also destroy wool and leaf blocks faster than by hand.[9]
  • Using shears will be a legitimate way to obtain placeable leaf blocks.[10]
  • TNT will only be activated by redstone or fire, so picking up TNT will be possible.[11]
  • Wool particle colours fixed.[12]
  • Multiplayer server list.[13]
  • Pistons.[14][15]
  • Sticky Pistons will be included as well. They will be made with slime balls.[16][17]
  • Spike blocks, Jeb initially considered spike pistons then decided to make a spike block that can be pushed by the sticky piston [18]
  • Player List - Press tab in multiplayer and player list comes up.[19]
  • New "scary" mob added.[20]
  • New improved lighting — day/night cycles will not require chunk updates.[21] Lighting will be updated via a texture, whose coordinates are the block's sky light and block light levels.[22]
  • Warmer light from torches.[23]
  • New textures for cobblestone (and moss stone) blocks.[24]
  • Torches placable on fences.[25]
  • Possibly Experience Orbs. Has not been confirmed by Notch, but is a possible explanation for the twitter clues he's been leaving.
  • Other secret projects. [26]
  • Huge Mushrooms [27]
  • Use for Slimeballs: Slimeballs have been confirmed to be used in the creation of Sticky Pistons.[28]
Speculation time!

What do you think the new scary mob will be? Will it be dragons? Or some other monstrosity inspired by one of many mods?

Can't wait for the spikes. You can make a whole bunch of traps with them and the pistons.

I've been waiting a long time for pistons, so glad to see them almost here. Unfortunately Notch nerfed them quite a bit from what the original mod did.

lol, with the experience orbs we'll probablyhave two parallel sets of levels to gain

I would imagine those orbs are only for MC running in Adventure mode. I don't see the server changing modes unless the Heroes plugins were integrated with the new Adventure mode.

"New features in the terrain generator; things which will only appear in new worlds/new generated areas.[3]" So we wont have that for a while? Or @Kainzo will wait with expanding the map until this:eek:
