To all those who like the game minecraft, this small article is for you how and from what to make a regular piston and a sticky piston. The pistons in this game are designed for many tasks. With the help of pistons you can make all sorts of trinkets, traps, homemade glass doors that open, retractable stairs, gates and much more.
In order to make a sticky piston, we need to assemble an ordinary piston. And so we assemble an ordinary piston and for this we need the following ingredients: three boards, four cobblestones, red dust and an iron ingot. By adding all these ingredients in the correct order, we get a piston.
To invent a sticky piston, we need a ready-made piston to make a piston out of it and a clot of mucus. We can find a clot of mucus by killing one or more slugs. Making a sticky piston is very easy; put an ordinary piston on a workbench and sticky mucus on top of it.
The difference between a simple piston and a sticky piston is that when the sticky piston pushes the blocks, they return back when the piston is deactivated. A regular piston simply pushes the blocks in the right direction. Most often it is used in the construction of retractable stairs.
With the help of sticky pistons and pressure plates you can make a very interesting design that is inaccessible to mobs. After building a house, you can build a trap at the entrance doors and windows. More precisely, it will not be a trap, but protection from mobs invading your home. And so what we need for this. Depending on how many doors and windows you want to line with these traps. In order to place a trap in front of the front door, we need to dig 1 block of earth and insert a sticky piston there; if we have a doorway of two doors, then we dig into a hole 2 meters wide, that is, two blocks of earth. In front of the sticky pistons inserted into the ground, we place pressure plates, with the help of which the pistons will rise, blocking the path of mobs. You can protect windows in the same way.
The piston was suggested to be introduced on the Minecraft forum. It was proposed by a player under the nickname Hippoplatimus. And later this person independently created this block and, by his will, it was introduced into the game. And for good reason, this block is useful to players and plays a significant role in the game.
The power of the piston in Minecraft is great, it is capable of moving as many as 12 blocks. Possesses unique properties and is done for the convenience and creativity of using the items the player uses. Thereby providing a more automated existence in the world of Minecraft. Everything can be controlled either with a lever or a button and there is no need to perform unnecessary movements. He can also influence players or make any movements towards objects that you want to use.
But pistons in minecraft have one feature: they cannot push some things, blocks. For example, they cannot push obsidian, because it is bedrock, or tablets, stoves, chests, spawners.
One piston can even push the other if it is in a compressed state. Some items, such as a torch, fall out when moved, or, for example, pumpkins.
There are 2 types of piston in minecraft, which differ in their properties. There is a sticky piston and a regular one.
Regular piston

How to make a piston in minecraft, many players ask this question. You can craft it using boards, cobblestones, red dust and iron ingots. (crafting is shown in the screenshot below) To craft a regular piston, you don’t need to look for the necessary resources for a long time, because they are found often. Therefore, players who have not had time to get used to the world can afford to craft this piston, because making it is not so difficult.
When you make it, you can use boards of any type, which makes crafting much easier for the player.
Sticky piston (video). It's not that difficult to make. It is made like a regular one, it also pushes up to 12 blocks. But it has one feature that is important to players. It has the property of returning the block to the same place in which it stood, i.e. it can be deactivated. What allows you to create more more possibilities interact with him. It has no gravity, so sand and gravel can be kept in the air without falling down, which allows it to be unique and so useful to players.
If someone has wondered how to create a piston in a game, it means that such a gamer is seriously interested in this game and is eager to master its new tricks. The piston is mainly designed for those who have gone quite far in this game, but the information will also be useful for beginners. So, what is a piston for, and how to create one? The use of the piston is quite limited. He can push several blocks, usually no more than 12, except for those that interact with the player. However, as the gamer develops in the game, he finds new ways to use the piston in different designs and mechanisms.
Now, let's look at crafting a piston. We need:
Getting the first two resources is not at all difficult; even novice players will not have problems obtaining them. An iron ingot is obtained from iron ore, which is quite rare, but nevertheless can be found. Red dust comes from red ore, which is located at great depths, but is not difficult to find. The collected resources must be arranged in the order that is available on the slides. Precise placement of resources ensures a finished piston. To activate it, you need a lever or redstone circuit. It must be installed with the front side facing the player. It should also be added that one piston can push another if it is in a compressed state.
Be sure to watch the crafting video:
Piston - This is a special block that allows you to interact with blocks, objects and players. In total, there are two types of pistons in minecraft: 1) - Sticky Piston, 2) - Regular Piston. I think it’s already clear how a Regular Piston differs from a Sticky Piston. Pistons are used to move various blocks, etc. Pistons are also used to create various mechanisms (For example: Sliding doors, etc.). Let's move on to crafting these pistons.
Craft:
Using a conventional piston:
Pistons are used to move blocks (up to 12 blocks in any direction), but they can also affect other objects, such as players or items. Pistons cannot push blocks that have additional information stored separately from the game level array (English tile enitities - chest, stove, tablet, spawner...), as well as obsidian, portal blocks and bedrock. One piston can push another if it is in a compressed state. Some blocks, such as torches or pumpkins, fall out as objects when you try to move them with a piston.
The pistons are activated by a redstone signal. If a loose block falls on the rising/falling piston, it will drop out as an item. The pistons can block fluids (which makes them useful as a controlled watergate) and are not burned by lava. It will not be possible to push the block beyond the top or lower limit game card.
The piston is installed with the retractable part facing the player.
Using the sticky piston:
Sticky pistons, like regular ones, can move up to 12 blocks in any direction. When deactivated, the sticky piston returns the block directly next to the face of the piston. Sticky pistons cannot move bedrock, obsidian, tablets, pumpkins, other pistons in the extended position, and some other blocks, such as torches, that do not block passage through them.
The "stickiness" of these blocks does not counteract gravity - they will not be able to hold sand or gravel in the air. The loose block will rise, but as soon as the piston stops, it will fall back.
If the sticky piston is activated for one tick of redstone (minimum delay on the repeater), it will only perform half the action - if there is a block close in front of it, it will only move it away, like a regular piston, but if the block is located one block away from the piston, it will will be pulled back as it should.
Sticky pistons can be used to create large doors, secret passages, traps, they can control the flow of liquids and make many other interesting devices.
Hi all! Today we will try to figure out one of the integral parts of Minecraft, namely pistons. Here, beginners will learn: how to make a piston, the function of pistons, the differences between a sticky piston and a regular piston.
So, to craft a piston we need:
1 redstone
1 iron
3 boards (type of wood does not matter)
3 cobblestones.
We lay out all this as shown in Figure 1.
This is a recipe for a regular plunger, to make it sticky you just need to take a regular plunger and add mucus (Fig. 2). So we made 2 types of piston.
But now a question arises. Why did I even craft them? Here you can move away from explanations a little. Pistons were added to Minecraft in beta 1.7 and brought with them the other half of the game's fun. We are talking about redstone schemes that make Minecraft not just a game about survival, but something like a construction set, where every mind can come up with something of its own. But today is not about schemes.
Now, let's look at the most basic function of the piston. First of all, you should know that the piston has 2 states - passive and active. Passive is the normal position of a block. Active - when a redstone signal is connected to the piston, then its front part moves forward (Figure 3).
This front part is capable of moving blocks forward, but after the signal is turned off, it leaves the block in the position it moved it to. This is the function of a conventional piston (Figure 4).
The operation of the sticky piston is slightly different; it also moves the block forward, but when turned off, it “takes it back” (Figure 5).
From such basics, people have come up with the most ingenious mechanisms. For example, a system of leveled enchantments. I'll explain how it is. Sometimes people encounter this problem: you have fully equipped the enchantment and now it can enchant objects to the greatest extent possible. high level, but bad luck! For example, you need to enchant a pickaxe not to level 30, but let’s say level 10, you don’t want to break book blocks, what should you do?
And here pistons come to the rescue and help solve the problem. The pistons simply move the book blocks into the area of influence of the enchanting table. This way you can build a suitable level. There is also automatic farm collecting pumpkins, watermelons and reeds. Everything is much more complicated here, so it’s better to Google it yourself, or find a video on YouTube.
I hope it helped you this information. Good luck everyone! Let the diamonds find you themselves;)
