The piston head (in Java Edition) or (sticky) piston arm collision (in Bedrock Edition) is a technical block that appears as the front part of an extended piston. It is not available in the Creative inventory and does not drop anything when removed.

Normally, piston heads are created automatically when a piston extends. However, they can also be placed manually using the /setblock command. Alternatively a debug stick‌^{[Java Edition only]} can be used to change the facing direction of a piston head that's currently attached to a piston base. Piston heads that do not have a valid support block behind them will be removed when receiving a shape update from behind in Java Edition, or when receiving a block update from any direction in Bedrock Edition.

In rare cases, a client-side, duplicate piston head can appear when placing a piston next to a power source in Java Edition, due to client-server desync issues.^[1] These client-side piston heads cannot be broken directly but can be removed by placing another block in the same location.

In Java Edition, normal and sticky piston heads are distinguished by a block state. In Bedrock Edition, they use separate block IDs. The normal and sticky piston heads can be obtained as items in Bedrock Edition with the commands /give @s piston_arm_collision and /give @s sticky_piston_arm_collision. They face down when placed.

In Bedrock Edition, piston head blocks do not actually have a texture, as the piston arm texture is part of the piston block entity, and piston heads that aren't connected to a piston base have neither collisions nor an interaction box.

The moving piston (in Java Edition) or moving block (in Bedrock Edition), also known as block 36 due to its pre-flattening block ID, is an unobtainable technical block that holds a block entity (unless it was placed with a command) which contains the block the piston is currently moving. Since moving blocks vary in how much of each grid cell they occupy, they can't be stored as normal blocks and are instead stored as block entity data. Multiple moving piston blocks may be used during the extension/retraction process, depending on how many blocks the piston is moving. At the end of the piston stroke, the moving piston blocks are replaced with either the carried block, the piston head (during extensions), or the piston itself (during retractions); but if it is placed with the use of commands it remains indefinitely.‌^{[Java Edition only]}

When placed by commands, the game does not assign a block entity to the moving piston block,^[verify] therefore its properties are different than usual: it's invisible, has no collisions, and cannot be broken without the use of TNT, commands, or a structure generating over it (such as the end platform). Although it is non-solid, fluids cannot pass through it. It also prevents players from building at its location. Mobs can see through it, but cannot walk through it. The game treats the block as a stone block when it comes to the player's footstep sounds. It is similar to invisible bedrock in properties with the exception that the player can walk through the moving piston but not invisible bedrock.

Java Edition

[edit | edit source]

Java Edition
1.8	14w29a	Added the "short=true/false" block state to piston_head.
1.11.1	16w50a	Added a new byte tag `source` for the `piston_extension` block entity, which is true if the block represents the piston head itself, and false if it represents a block being pushed.
1.13	17w47a	The moving block ID of pistons has been changed from `piston_extension` to `moving_piston`.
1.13	17w47a	Prior to The Flattening, these blocks' numeral IDs were 34 and 36.

Bedrock Edition

[edit | edit source]

Pocket Edition Alpha
v0.16.0	build 5	The `movingblock` block for pistons can no longer be placed using commands.
Bedrock Edition
1.13.0	beta 1.13.0.9	Sticky piston heads are now a separate block from normal heads, instead of being differentiated by a block state. The namespaced ID is now `stickypistonarmcollision`, while the numerical ID is 472.
1.18.30	beta 1.18.30.26	The ID of `pistonarmcollision` is changed to `piston_arm_collision`
		The ID of `stickypistonarmcollision` is changed to `sticky_piston_arm_collision`
		The ID of `movingblock` is changed to `moving_block`

Trivia

[edit | edit source]

Mobs can spawn inside the piston head block.
In Bedrock Edition, the piston head is invisible and non-solid when placed with commands. The moving piston disappears shortly after being placed with commands in this edition.
The moving_piston is transparent and does not emit light.
- If a light-emitting block is moved, the player can see it turn dark briefly. If an opaque block is moved, the player may see light passing through it.
