Sticky Piston
Sticky pistons are variants of the standard piston that use the tacky adhesive nature of slimeballs to pull blocks as well as push them. A sticky piston otherwise operates identically to a standard piston, and is strong enough to push up to 12 blocks in a row a distance of one block.

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 and sand into items.
