Overview
Sticky Piston is a redstone component in the Redstone category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it. A single inventory slot holds a full stack of 64 Sticky Piston.
As a redstone component, Sticky Piston is wired into contraptions and circuits; its behaviour is what gives builders the logic and timing to automate farms, doors, and machines. On the hardness scale Sticky Piston sits at 1.5. Explosives face the same figure, which is why Sticky Piston is not a wall you rely on. Any pickaxe will do on Sticky Piston, from wood upward.
