Sticky Piston Recipe

How to Craft Sticky Piston

Sticky Pistons are pistons that can both push and pull blocks when activated by redstone.

Crafting

Open a Crafting Table to access the 3×3 grid.
Place ingredients exactly as shown in the grid (shape matters unless marked shapeless) then move the resulting Sticky Piston to your inventory.
Use, place, or craft further with your new item.

Slime Ball: Gather Slime Ball via its typical source (looting, mining, farming, or trading).

Piston: Gather Piston via its typical source (looting, mining, farming, or trading).

Key Interactions:

Pulls one block back; some blocks detach (e.g., honey/slime behavior differences)
Used widely in flying machines

Unlike regular pistons, sticky pistons can pull blocks back when they retract, but they can't pull entities like players or mobs.

Why didn't the sticky piston pull the block?
Blocks like extended pistons, certain tile entities, and blocks attached through slime/honey segmentation may not move due to push limits (12) or immovable rules.
Why do slime machines break?
Exceeding the 12‑block push limit or including immovable blocks (e.g. obsidian) stops movement—trim payload or redesign.
