About

The Sticky Piston is a variant of the standard piston that pulls blocks back when it retracts, in addition to pushing them out when it extends. It responds to redstone power and is essential for most advanced redstone builds, from hidden doors and item sorters to flying machines.

Admins grant it with /give @p minecraft:sticky_piston 1. It stacks to 64 and has a hardness of 1.5, making it quick to break and rebuild during testing or contraption work. Sticky pistons cannot pull obsidian, bedrock, or certain other blocks, so plan accordingly when designing mechanisms that rely on pulling specific materials.
