More Pistons Mod – Ever wanted pistons to extend further than just one block? Then this mod is for you!
Overview of this Mod
The More Pistons mod is a mod for Minecraft that allows you pistons and sticky pistons to extend up to four blocks worth when powered by redstone. You heard me right! This means that you can create some pretty elaborate redstone creations that were otherwise resource intensive, time consuming, space consuming, or downright impossible with just the normal one block pistons. Another cool thing about this mod is that if you attach a piece of TNT to a piston, is will recreate the effects of what the old pistons did, as in they will propel you in the air, along with sand, gravel, and other mobs. The crafting recipes are as follows:
Anyways, this mod doesn’t really have much to do with the survival portion of Minecraft (but you can probably find a way to make it useful for survival!), but it does have a really big impact when it comes to the creative portion of Minecraft, specifically redstone contraptions. This mod will significantly cut down the needed redstone, as well as the needed space. If you ask me, this mod should be added into normal Minecraft, as it doesn’t really make the game imbalanced. For now though, you should check the video below out to get some ideas on how you could put use to this mod, but first, let’s see some screenshots of the mod in action.

Now you might want to know how to install the mod.
So you want to install a mod for Minecraft? Well, thanks to this guide, it's easy as 1-2-3! Before we start however, here are some precautions you might want to read:
Be sure to get WinRAR or 7-zip. It's a necessity for installing mods.
Be sure to backup your "minecraft.jar" before doing anything! We don't want you to have to force update now, do we?
Be sure to delete META-INF inside "minecraft.jar".
Be sure to install the mods listed in the yellow box below first. They are usually mods required for the mod you want to install to work.
The Forge and Modloader installation instructions only apply if the yellow box below states that the mod requires either Modloader of Forge. If the yellow box does not, use the "Old-Fashioned" instructions.
The Forge and Modloader instructions only apply to the mod itself. Any mod in the yellow box below must be installed using the "old-fashioned" instructions.
In the case that you need more help, post a comment below. We will be glad to help you out!
Here's the steps to installing that mod you want, or how to install Forge, Modloader, :
Close Minecraft. This is to ensure that the files will overwrite properly.
Open up Windows Explorer.
In the navigation bar, type "%AppData%".
Navigate to "Roaming". (Skip this step if you can't see a roaming folder.)
Open up a folder called ".minecraft".
Open up a folder called "bin".
Right click the file called "minecraft" or "minecraft.jar".
Select open with.
Open with WinRAR.
Open up the mod. (be sure to extract the mod first.)
If there are no specific instructions included with the mod, it is safe to assume that you drag all the files in.
Be sure to delete META-INF. I can't stress this enough.
That's it! Have fun!
So you have a Mac computer? The Mac Operating System has a very different framework compared to its Windows counterpart, so the installation instructions will be different. Here's a video to help you out:
Hopefully that helped you out! If not, you could post it in the comments, and we will help you!
So you noticed this mod requires Minecraft Forge or Modloader, correct? Installing Forge and Modloader mods are just as easy as installing mods the old-fashioned way! In fact, it's even easier once you get passed the main part Here's the steps:
Install Minecraft Forge, Modloader, or any mod dependency listed in the yellow box below using the "Old-Fashioned" installation instructions to the left.
Start Minecraft up. Close Minecraft afterwards.
Navigate to the ".minecraft" folder. Once you open it, you will notice that there is a "mods" folder. If there isn't a mods folder to be seen, create one.
Place the mod inside the "mods" folder.
Open Minecraft up and have fun!
For the most part, that's it when it comes to Modloader and Forge mods. Also, please note that you no longer have to do steps 1 and 2 once you already installed it the first time (you may need to reinstall them however, if you updated your client).
Also, just a heads up, if you don't see the mod loaded into the game, you might have to extract the mod into a folder. Most mods work in their zipped form, but some require you to extract them first. Have fun!
Important: This mod requires you to install the following mods:
the double piston is green the triple piston is red and the quadruple piston is purple

Hello BlueOrchard,
Thanks for your quick response, Yes modloader and more pistons installs with NO errors.
Thanks.
Question how do you use it. I went to crafting and made a piston, then tried to make a double piston and the recept box doesn’t show anything.
Will mods in general, work on Multiplayer, were doing a team building castle thing.
