How to make Piston

→

What you need

• Oak Planks×3
• Cobblestone×4
• Iron Ingot×1
• Redstone×1

Worth knowing

• Any wood type works for the three planks across the top, and they may be mixed.
• Iron ingot in the centre, redstone dust directly below it - swapping the two fails.
• Pushes up to 12 blocks and cannot push obsidian, bedrock or block entities.
• The shape matters but its position does not — this works in any corner of the grid, as long as the arrangement is the same.

Where to get the ingredients

Oak Planks is crafted too — here is how.
