Description from the author on Modrinth

Description

More Pistons adds a variety of unique piston types to the game. It adds honey pistons, strong pistons, long pistons of lengths 2 - 8, and smart pistons. It's also compatible with Carpet mod's movable block entities.

Features

Honey Piston

Honey pistons act exactly like sticky pistons, but will never spit out their block. They are crafted with a honey bottle instead of a slime ball.

Strong Piston

Strong pistons are the same as normal pistons but can push twice the amount of blocks. They are crafted the same way as a piston, but the bottom left and right cobblestone is replaced with obsidian and the iron ingot is replaced with netherite.

Long Pistons

Long pistons come in lengths between 2 - 8 and take the same amount of time to move per block as regular pistons. To craft the next length of extension, put the previous length piston, iron ingot, and 3 planks in a T shape. For a strong piston, replace the iron ingot with netherite.

Smart piston

Smart pistons take in a specific signal strength and extend to that amount roughly divided by 2. If you put in 15 signal strength, the piston will extend 8 blocks and if you put in 1 signal strength the piston will extend 1 block. These pistons are crafted the same way as normal pistons but the left and right cobblestone is replaced with quartz and the redstone dust is replaces with an octuple piston.
