Sticky Piston

The Sticky Piston is a block coming to 1.7 It will be 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.
