Last updated
Ever wondered how to bring your Minecraft creations to life with some moving parts? Well, pistons are your go-to block for everything from secret doors to cool contraptions. But how exactly do you use pistons in Minecraft?
Let’s break down how you can use pistons to take your Minecraft builds to the next level.
Quick Guide to Using Pistons in Minecraft
Pistons in Minecraft are blocks capable of pushing up to 12 other blocks when powered by redstone. You can power pistons by placing a redstone torch, a lever, a button, or any redstone block next to them. When activated, the piston extends and pushes adjacent blocks forward.
There are two types of pistons: regular and sticky. The regular piston pushes a block away when activated and leaves it there when retracted. The sticky piston, on the other hand, can pull the block back when it retracts. This makes sticky pistons perfect for creating more complex machines and moving structures.
