A '''piston''' is a [[block]] capable of pushing most [[entities]] and blocks when given a [[redstone]] signal. 

Some blocks cannot be moved, break when pushed or have other interactions with pistons. A piston can move up to twelve blocks at once.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A piston can be broken using any [[tool]] with equal efficiency, and always drops itself.
It is faster to break them with a [[pickaxe]]. The pickaxe is also the preferred tool for breaking the head when extended.<ref>{{bug|MC-171370|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Redstone component ===
Pistons are always placed facing toward the player. When powered, the piston's wooden surface (the "head") tries to start extending after [[#Start delay|start delay]]. When it extends, it pushes at most 12 blocks. The piston makes a sound that can be heard within a 31×31×31 cube centered on the activating piston. Any entities in the path of the extending head are pushed with the blocks. If there is no place for the entities to go, the block pushes inside them, suffocating [[mob]]s if the block is not transparent when pushed into the eye height of the mob.

When a piston loses power, its head retracts. Like extending, this retraction starts after [[#Start delay|start delay]]. It finishes retracting {{convert|2|game tick|redstone tick|second}} after it starts. {{#ifeq:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|Piston|| A sticky piston also pulls the block attached to its head, but not any of the other blocks it may have pushed.

Sticky pistons stick to a block only when retracting, so a block next to the piston head can be pushed aside by another piston and sticky pistons cannot hold falling blocks horizontally against gravity. {{IN|je}}, pistons finish extending early and start retracting if given a pulse shorter than 3gt (when it has [[#Start delay|start delay]]) or 2gt (when it doesn't have start delay). These shorter pulses cause sticky pistons to "drop" their block, leaving it behind when trying to push it with a short pulse. Also, this causes the block to end up in its final position earlier. However, if they receive a short pulse and don't have a block to be pushed, they pull the block which is 1 block away. }}

A piston that pushes a [[slime block]] bounces any entity that it displaces in the direction the piston is facing. In addition, when a slime block is moved by a piston, any movable blocks adjacent (not diagonally) to the slime block also moves. See the [[#Slime blocks and honey blocks]] section below for more details.

{{IN|bedrock}}, blocks that stick to walls (such as levers) can be placed on pistons without being destroyed when activated.

==== Start delay ====
A piston won't extend or retract immediately when it is activated: this is called start delay.

{{IN|be}}, the start delay is fixed at {{convert|2|game tick|redstone tick|second}}, meaning that the piston starts to extend or retract 2gt after it's activated.

{{IN|je}}, the start delay can be {{convert|0|game tick|redstone tick|second}} (start at the same tick) or {{convert|1|game tick|redstone tick|second}} (start at the next tick) depending on the [[Tick#Game process|game process]] when the piston is activated:
* If the piston is updated and activated in the [[Tick#Scheduled tick|scheduled tick]] stage, [[random tick]] stage or block event stage, the piston stage is executed in this game tick's block event stage. At this time, the start delay is 0gt, which means the piston starts at the same tick.
* If the piston is activated during the execution of entity or tile entity, or activated by player actions, the piston stage is executed in the next game tick's block event stage. At this time, the start delay is 1gt, which means the piston starts at the next tick.

=== Limitations ===
Pistons can push most blocks except those listed in the table below. 

Pistons cannot push blocks into the [[void]] or beyond the top of the map. They also cannot push more than 12 blocks. If the requirements for a block to be pushed are not met, the piston simply does not extend.

{{:Piston/Table}}

=== Powering pistons ===
[[File:Stacked pistons powered by one redstone line.png|alt=|thumb|Pistons powered by one line of redstone.]]
Pistons can be powered in various ways:
* If a redstone wire is in a line shape toward the piston. {{IN|java}}, the wire does not automatically curve to the piston.
* Pistons can be powered by a powered block directly adjacent to them, whether it is strongly powered or weakly powered.
* Pistons can be powered by a [[redstone torch]] directly adjacent to them.
* {{IN|java}}, pistons can be powered by any powered block one block above and to the side, including the "activated space" above it (if a piston, both sticky and normal were to be facing up and a [[block of redstone]] placed on its head, it extends when powered, but doesn't retract when the power it receives from the side or back turns off). However, the piston doesn't extend or retract until it receives a block update. This property is called [[Tutorials/Quasi-connectivity|quasi-connectivity]] and can be used to make a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD switch]].
* A repeater cannot transfer power through a piston, as pistons are a transparent block.
* An upward-facing piston can't be powered by a block above it, unless it is extended {{IN|java}}.
* {{IN|bedrock}} a redstone torch attached to a piston turns off whenever the piston is powered. This mechanic is called soft inversion.
* Pistons can also be powered by observers. This can create a clock if the setup is correct.

=== Slime blocks and honey blocks===
{{Schematic
|caption=Piston A may extend because the slime block ignores the adjacent obsidian. Piston B may not extend because the diamond block is prevented from moving by the obsidian and so the slime block also refuses to move.
|pi-e+A|SL|||pi-e+B|SL||-
||obsidian||||MB|obsidian
}}

When a [[slime block]] is pushed or pulled by a piston, while moving, adjacent blocks also move with the slime block, unless a non-piston movable block stops the blocks that are "grabbed" by the slime blocks. These blocks may in turn push other blocks, not just the blocks in the line in front of the piston. For example, a slime block sitting on the ground attempts to move the ground block underneath itself, which in turn has to push additional ground blocks in the direction of motion just as if it were being pushed directly by a piston.

[[Glazed terracotta]] is an exception; it ''does not'' move when adjacent slime blocks are moved. The same occurs when a slime block is moved by an adjacent slime block. For example, a 2×2×2 cube of slime blocks may be pushed or pulled as a unit by a single piston acting on any of the blocks in the cube. A slime block adjacent to a block that cannot be moved by pistons ignores the immobile block. But if an adjacent block could be moved but is prevented by the presence of an immobile block, the slime block is prevented from moving.

Slime blocks are not pulled by a non-[[Sticky Piston|sticky piston]], nor are they moved if an adjacent (non-slime) block is moved by a piston. The maximum of 12 blocks moved by a piston still applies. For example, a 2×2×3 collection of slime blocks may be pushed by a piston as long as no other movable blocks are adjacent to it. A piston cannot move itself via a "hook" constructed of slime blocks, but self-propelled contraptions can be created with multiple pistons. For that, see the article [[Tutorials/Flying machines]]. The same happens for the [[honey block]], but it does not stick to slime blocks.

* When toggled between on and off rapidly with a gravity affected block (such as sand) above it, a piston can eventually break the block, which can be picked up as a resource. However, gravel broken this way never drops flint.
* Carpet can be placed on the piston extension block, and remains even if it is replaced with a solid block using {{cmd|setblock}}.
