Last updated
Ever wondered, ‘How do I make a piston in Minecraft?’ You’re in the right place! Making a piston is a fun way to get creative in Minecraft, the best-selling video game where you build and explore worlds made entirely of blocks.
Let’s dive into how you can create a piston, a useful block that can push other blocks, items, and even players!
Simple Steps to Crafting a Piston
To make a piston in Minecraft, you’ll need a few specific materials: wood planks, cobblestone, iron ingot, and redstone. First, gather these materials from your Minecraft world. You can find iron and redstone by mining deep underground, and wood planks and cobblestone are pretty easy to come by.
Once you have all your materials, open your crafting table. Place three wood planks across the top row, four cobblestones in the middle row on either side, with the iron ingot in the center, and finally, put redstone right below the iron ingot. Voila! You’ve just crafted a piston.
