About this Mod

Base

This mod add a new gamerule to minecraft. It allow you to change te maximum block that a piston can push.

How it works?

The default value fixed by is 12 blocks and can be change with the following command :

/gamerule PistonPushingLimit <value>.

The value must be between 0 and 512. 0 means that pistons can't push anything.
High values can cause some visual glitchs but doesn't cause any others problems.

I know that a similar mod exist but since that it didn't got any updates for years, I decided to create my own

Issues

This mod doesn't change anything when using carpet mod.
If you encounter any issues, report it on github or on discord.
