Pistons do not move blocks that are "attached to a block", as they detach and drop as an item.

Exceptions Edit

Rails: as long as they remain on top of a solid face of a block in their new position, and that block isn't moving at the same time.
- An exception is when the rail and block supporting it are on two parallel extended pistons at which the rail remains attached. In Java Edition, the piston moving the block can be powered 1 block event after the piston moving the rail in order for the rail to successfully move without breaking. Trying to move the rail and its support block with perpendicular pistons causes the rail to break (although it visually appears to not break because of the bug MC-75716).
- Rails re-orient themselves after being pushed, similar to when placed manually.

Dead coral and dead coral fans: In Java Edition, they can be pushed and pulled similarly to how rails can; however in some situations the coral will both break and get moved by the piston, emitting block updates at its original position.
- This mechanic is frequently used in tnt dupers.
