Minecraft Java mod. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThis mod adds some new tags to control how blocks behave when pushed by pistons. It also lets you push Tile Entities!
Note: this is the Forge Edition. The Fabric edition is elsewhere (link).
This requires MixinBootstrap.
It adds the following tags:
- pistoncontrol:blocks/piston_behavior_normal - makes a block behave as normal when pushed by a piston.
- pistoncontrol:blocks/piston_behavior_destroy - makes a block break when pushed by a piston.
- pistoncontrol:blocks/piston_behavior_block - makes a block act like obsidian, stopping the piston from moving.
- pistoncontrol:blocks/piston_behavior_push_only - makes a block act like glazed terracotta, stopping sticky pistons from pulling it back.
- pistoncontrol:blocks/sticky_blocks - makes a block act like slime or honey, grabbing blocks around when pushed.
- pistoncontrol:entity_types/piston_behavior_ignore - makes entities ignore pistons.
- pistoncontrol:entity_types/piston_behavior_normal - makes entities not ignore pistons.
