A Sticky Piston in Minecraft is a Redstone-powered block that'll open and retract when a Redstone pulse is sent. The sticky pistons pushing end has slime on it, allowing other blocks to stick to it. This makes it a handy block, as you can now push and retract any block in Minecraft. There is also a Normal Piston variant in Minecraft.
Here are the items you’ll need to craft a Sticky Piston:
- 1xPiston
- 1xSlime
- Crafting Table
How to craft a Sticky Piston in Minecraft
#1 Crafting Piston
Before you can craft a piston, you’ll need to collect some items. Irons ingots can be acquired from iron ores underground. Planks can be crafted from logs in Minecraft. Cobblestone is mined using a pickaxe. Once you have all the items craft the piston by the recipe given above.
#2 Acquiring slimeball
To craft a sticky piston, you need slime balls. These slimeballs are obtained only by killing slimes. Slime is hard to locate; they spawn in dedicated spawn chunks, which can be underground and also in the swamp biome. They are not rare, so you'll find some if you look around for a while.
#3 Crafting Sticky Pistons
Once all the necessary items are gathered for the sticky piston, put the items on the crafting table by the recipe shown above, and you’ll have crafted yourself a sticky piston.
Pistons are used in many mob farms, doors, and other Redstone contraptions.
A Piston cannot push more than 12 blocks; it is one of its limitations.
A sticky piston will allow the block in front of it to get stuck to the sticky piston. You can move the block back and forth using a sticky piston. This is unlike a normal piston that pushes the block but doesn’t retract it.
