FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.01.15 – 26.2

What it does

The mod is a data pack. Sticky pistons can be crafted from honeycombs as an alternative to the vanilla slime ball recipe, which stays available unchanged. The aim is to make sticky pistons easier to reach during early progression, when slime balls are harder to collect.

The data pack is installed through the world's datapacks folder on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is also available for server platforms. Only the server needs to run it, so players may join without installing anything. The mod is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source. Builds cover 1.15 – 26.2, and the latest file is 1.88.0+mod for 26.2, released 2025-11-16.

Key features

  1. Honeycomb recipe

    Sticky pistons can be crafted from honeycombs in addition to the slime ball recipe.

  2. Vanilla recipe kept

    The original slime ball recipe remains available, so nothing vanilla is removed.

  3. Earlier access to sticky pistons

    The alternative ingredient makes sticky pistons reachable before slime balls are collected.
