I don't think Pistons are that bad, unless you utterly derp with them, a slow cycling of pistons along the fence shouldn't cause lag.



I accidentally did this on [REDACTED]. and made a Piston pulsar, and it didn't crash that server.

I wouldn't mind the piston thing, actually. Just find a way for it to work, and have the wall continue to be organized. Also, instead of using clocks, it could just be Staff Triggered. Someone complains about it, and a staff members pushes a button, triggering all the pistons. Problem is, as laithes said, these will cause some lag. Not too much if there is no pulsar/clock, but still lag. :/

Well just about anything in SMP can be a lag issue if done wrong, and triggering all the pistons at once would cause more stress than a slow cycle. but this is just a silly idea anyways. Another idea is a slow clock around the wall with netherrack on the edge, so a cycle of fire goes around on the top of the wall, catching people who loiter too long on fire.

Or you could have set spawn doors, with buttons on them so once you're out, you're out for good.

It is possible for pistons to fire players now.

But I see no need to correct an issue that is resolved in 1.8.
