Pistons are devices capable of pushing most blocks when receiving redstone power, depending on the direction they are facing, providing options for mechanical movement of blocks and items when combined with redstone. A piston is strong enough to push up to 12 blocks in a row a distance of one block. To add the ability for the piston to pull blocks as the piston retracts, they can be crafted into sticky pistons.
Pistons can be used to create a lot of unique blocks through the Piston Packing mechanics, especially when used in combination with the Piston Shovel.

Uses
Pistons cannot push bedrock, obsidian, monster spawners or blocks of soulforged steel due to their density. They also cannot push blocks that are larger than one block, such as doors. This means that a piston can push a second piston if the latter is retracted, but not if it is extended.
Pistons will also turn most non-solid blocks into items, such as torches, but they will push rails normally.
Adding a piston shovel in front of a piston allows it to break dirt, sand, and other blocks of similar consistency into items.
