This page has been created to explain how to migrate the mod “More Pistons 1.5.0 for Minecraft 1.6.4” and “More Pistons 2.0.0 Beta *.* for Minecraft 1.6.4 et 1.7.*” to the version “2.0.0”.
The main problem is if you don’t migrate first to 2.0.0 your More Pistons blocks will disappear. You need to load your world with the 2.0.0 version first, then step to the next version.
The migration remains simple and only consists on :
- Place the good bloc ID in the More Pistons config file if you use the Minecraft 1.6.4.
- Enable The RedstonePistons block compatibility in config file.
- Loading your worlds with More Pistons 2.0.0.
But this tutorial will explain you the whole procedure, in order to prevent any issue.
