⚠️ Warnings & Limitations

Important Notes

  1. MOVING_PISTON (block 36) can NEVER be pushed - This is a vanilla safety mechanism
  2. Pushing all blocks may cause instability - Use with caution in survival worlds
  3. Very high push limits may cause lag - Test performance on your server

Best Practices

  1. Start with small limits and increase gradually
  2. Test in creative mode before survival
  3. Backup worlds before enabling experimental features
  4. Monitor server performance with high push limits
