Honey Piston
by ozzylac
Honey Piston adds one new block, a sticky piston crafted with honey in place of slime balls, for players who want the vanilla behavior with a different look.
What it does
The Honey Piston behaves like the vanilla sticky piston: a redstone signal extends or retracts it, and it pushes or pulls the blocks in front of it. The difference lies in the recipe and the texture. It is crafted from a vanilla piston, a honey block and a honey bottle, and it has a honey-colored top face that tells it apart from other pistons at a glance.
The block sits in its own creative tab, so it is simple to find among the other items. Players who already build with sticky pistons can swap in the Honey Piston without changing any circuit. Players who trade with villagers can also obtain it through the sweetness of honey instead of slime.
Honey Piston is a Forge and NeoForge mod. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for 26 release versions, 1.15 – 1.21.4, with the latest Forge file at 1.0.0 for 1.20.2 and the latest NeoForge file at 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, both published on 2026-08-28.
