The blocks that are moved may in turn push other blocks. all the blocks listed on the table on the pistons page) stay in place. Blocks that cannot be pulled by a sticky piston (i.e. The types of blocks that can be moved are the same as those that can be pulled by a sticky piston. When a slime block is pushed or pulled by a piston, it attempts to move all adjacent blocks in the same direction. When pulled by a piston, no entities are launched. When being pushed by a piston, entities (except ender dragons, item frames and paintings) that are ahead are launched into the direction the block is pushed into. Place the top block of redstone and sticky piston last. Piston B cannot extend because the diamond block is prevented from moving by the obsidian and so the slime block also refuses to move.Ī self-propelled aircraft engine.

A player holding sneak does not bounce at all and takes fall damage. Entities hitting the side of a slime block do not bounce, unless the slime block is moving using a piston.Ī player holding the jump key performs a normal jump on contact with the slime block without taking fall damage. The maximum bounce height is 57.625 blocks.

For example, a fall of 255 blocks produces a bounce height of about 50 blocks, while a fall of 50 blocks results in a bounce height of 22 blocks.

Slime blocks cause movement on top of them to slow down.Ī player or mob that falls onto the top of a slime block bounces to a height proportional to the falling velocity. Slime blocks are also slightly slippery, but less so than ice. Landing on a slime block does not cause fall damage unless the player is sneaking.
