Minecraft 1.7 adds pistons and shears.
Pistons allow all sorts of amazing machines.
Shears are needed to shear sheep, and allow … topiary! You can make hedges for your formal garden by shearing trees to make placeable leaf blocks. You have to bury some wood underneath the hedge, otherwise the leaves decay.
Texturepack: Frenden + patches to add shears & piston textures. (I notice that foliage colour PNGs seem to work now.)
