Mo' Pistons
by ryankshah
Mo' Pistons brings more piston variants to Minecraft, with Andesite, Bedrock, Blue Ice and End Stone pistons that mimic vanilla blocks.
What it does
Each added piston is a sticky piston variant built from its own material, and the blocks it pushes behave like their vanilla counterparts until the moment they are activated. Players get extra choices for mechanisms, contraptions and redstone builds without giving up the familiar piston behavior.
The mod targets Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Andesite piston
An andesite-themed piston variant that adds a new material option for redstone builds.
Bedrock piston
A bedrock-themed piston variant, placed alongside the other added variants for building.
Blue ice and end stone pistons
Blue ice and end stone variants round out the set, each mimicking the vanilla blocks it is named after.
Vanilla-style behavior
Every variant behaves like a vanilla piston until activated, so existing designs keep working as expected.

Use cases
Redstone contraptions
Builders who want different piston materials for automated machines can pick the variant that fits each design.
Decorative builds
The added blocks can be used as building material in projects where the piston look matters.
Who it’s for: The mod suits redstone builders and survival players who want more piston materials. Because it runs on client and server, server owners need to install it for every player to join.
How it compares
Hand Pistons is available on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is all rights reserved, so its scope differs from Mo' Pistons. Bedrock Pistons is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, also all rights reserved, and covers a single bedrock variant rather than a set of materials.
