by RodoFire

Piston Push lets server owners change how far pistons can push, with a configurable maximum between 0 and 512 blocks.

What it does

A server owner sets the maximum number of blocks a piston can push by changing the value in the mod's settings, which accepts anything from 0 to 512. A setting of 0 stops pistons from pushing anything at all. Higher values can cause some visual glitches, though the mod reports no other problems at those levels. Piston Push runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and it is released under the MIT License as open source for Fabric and Quilt across 16 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.8.

Key features

  1. Adjustable push limit

    The maximum push distance can be set to any whole value from 0 to 512 blocks.

  2. Disable pushing

    Setting the value to 0 stops pistons from pushing any block.

  3. Visual glitches at high values

    Large push limits can produce some visual glitches, but no other side effects are reported.
