Minecraft Piston Basics | How to Use Pistons!

Ever wondered some of the basic things that pistons can do in Minecraft? Well in this video I show more than just how to craft a piston!

Pistons are an important part in many redstone creations such as, piston doors, flying machines, block swappers, tnt dupers, and more! Including some things I've made on this channel before!

You literally saved us with that block swapper! We've been stuck for days trying to make this elevator work.

Great video, im using a sticky piston to push up a stack of two blocks, but only the top block stays and does not come back down when I need it to. The blocks are not gravity-dependant like sand or gravel

[claraw]

I’ve genuinely been looking for an hour for a block swapper… I didn’t know what it was called so this was exceedingly helpful

Hello I am from the future and I don’t see the video. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[zGraph]

Am yes? I loved the intro I’m watching I promise!

Basically the piston has the same code as a door. Thanks to that programming or bug. Today it can be used for many things xD

Hey, yeah So I am trying to build my own trap/hidden door with stick pistons, terracotta just to plan out, and quartz as the main material but the danging pistons keep moving! Any advice to keep this from happening?

[Lilypad_snow]

Do u know when a redstone block or an observer powering a sticky piston then the block is getting left behind when it comes back fast?

[annachatziv]

How can, if its possible, to make a piston be open and when I want to close it to put a lever and do it

[joshuasmith]

I just have one question. Can Redstone blocks are move by pistons do they respond to gravity?

[Straveist]

No matter what I do, I can’t connect the Redstone dust to the piston

[cosmoshunters]

i don't know if i did it wrong by in windows ten bedrock edition if i use a piston to move a double chest it turns them into a single chest side by side

[official.lilbig]

How come my piston is not retracting? I’m using it for a sugar cane farm and they push out but not go back in.

[tayachothman]

Can you attach a piston to a redstone flying machine?

[ninusida]

Me: oh ill watch this video to learn how to make a piston door.
This video: says everyone already know so it’s not worth covering😢🙃

In my gold farm, I use Sticky Disstone Honey Block and Glow Stone to collect items, but some time ago, a problem arose that when the items on the Glow Stone increased, Sticky Piston could not pull it, what is the problem?

[aveeeee_j]

Skippy 6 gaming taught me how to make a red stone sand door. But the stick piston won’t pull don’t the other piston

[King_Dfr]

QUASIE CONNECTIVITY IS ONLY ON JAVA :(

[fssfssy]

[REDNECKZ]

My pistons wouldn’t stay together when rising vertically, THANKS🫡🫡
