Piston recipes and properties
Extends and contracts! Connect it to a trigger to activate. The piston can also be connected to a controller to make it extend and contract in a sequence. Perfect for creating impressive creations.

Where Pistons Fit
Pistons add controlled straight-line movement. They work well for compact lifts, deployable drills, gates, presses, stabilizers, and mechanisms that cannot be solved cleanly with rotation alone.
Build Safely
- Leave enough clearance for the full extension.
- Test the piston at low speed before attaching a heavy tool head.
- Watch for parts that collide with the frame while retracting.
