Sticky Piston

The Sticky Piston is a block added in Beta 1.7 It is crafted by putting a Slime Ball on top of a Piston in a crafting table. This can be done in the 2x2 Crafting grid, because it only requires two spaces.

Sticky pistons, as their name suggests, "stick" to an object they push, and will pull the block in front of the paddle section back when they contract. The only way for a Block to be removed from a Sticky Piston is to either destroy the Sticky Piston or to destroy or push the Block. For more information on piston functions, see Piston.

The sticky piston adds a use to Slimeballs. The sticky piston will also be used for pushing spike blocks instead of having a spike piston.

Trivia

 * Sticky pistons will not stick to other pistons.

Bugs

 * When attempting to pull beds or doors with a sticky piston, only half of the bed/door will be pulled by the piston, and the other half will disppear. If you activate or break the sticky piston, you'll also break the bed/door and be able to collect it.
 * When attempting to pull an ice block with a sticky piston, the place lastly occupied by the ice block will create a water spring. Then when pushing the ice block back in place, the head of the sticky piston will disappear.
