Tips for Finding Sticky Piston
- Slimeballs drop from Slimes, which spawn in Slime Chunks (below Y 40) and Swamp biomes (at night)
- Use an online Slime Chunk finder with your world seed to locate Slime spawning chunks
- Swamp biomes at night have surface-level Slime spawns between Y 51 and 69
- Pulls the attached block back when retracted, unlike regular pistons
