Minecraft has all kinds of blocks that players can use for various purposes. Some are used for building structures, while others are used to create contraptions made with redstone, which is an electrical component in the game. The piston is a functional block that has the ability to push almost any block in the game. However, some blocks simply cannot be moved by a piston, a sticky piston, or a slime block.
This article will list all the immovable blocks in Minecraft.
Blocks that cannot be moved by a piston or sticky piston in Minecraft
There is something that players should note with regards to immovable blocks in the game. This is because the game has two different editions: Java and Bedrock. Some block mechanics differ in both these editions, including which blocks are immovable by a piston. Hence, the list of immovable blocks differs for each edition.
