A Sticky Piston is a redstone component that pushes a block when powered and pulls the same block back when power is removed, thanks to its slimeball-coated face. It cannot pull blocks such as obsidian, spawners, or other pistons.

FAQ

How do I craft a Sticky Piston?

Place one Slimeball above a regular Piston in a crafting grid.

What is the difference between a Piston and a Sticky Piston?

A regular piston only pushes blocks and leaves them when retracting. A sticky piston also pulls the pushed block back when it retracts.

What blocks can't a Sticky Piston pull?

Blocks like obsidian, bedrock, other pistons, spawners, portals, and enchanting tables ignore both pushing and pulling.

Does a Sticky Piston need a special tool to mine?

No. Any pickaxe works and it always drops itself; a pickaxe is simply the fastest tool.
