Advanced Piston Stacking Explained in This Saturday's Minecraft Workshop

As anyone who has tried it knows, stacking pistons on top of each other in order to combine their effects is really, really complicated. Stacking two on top of each other is only slightly hard, but the difficulty rises exponentially with each added piston. Stacking three is pretty tough, and stacking four is downright ridiculous.

It requires all kinds of things like ABBA switches (which we learned about in the last workshop) and edge triggers.

However, there are times when you just have to do it because there's no other way, and that's what we'll be teaching in our Minecraft workshop this Saturday at 12 pm PST (3 pm EST).
