1. Before you can make a piston in Minecraft, you need to gather some resources such as 3 wood planks, one iron ingot, four cobblestones, and 1 Redstone dust. However, it is important to note that there are different types of wood planks you can use, such as jungle, spruce, birch, acacia, oak planks, etc.
2. If you want to make a piston in Minecraft, the next thing to do is open the crafting menu. Continue by opening the crafting table for you to see the 3x3 crafting grid. As explained above, you will need to place four cobblestones, 1 Redstone, three wood planks, and one iron ingot into the 3x3 crafting grid.
3. The placement of these items into the crafting grid must follow a particular order. For instance, the three wood (jungle) planks should be placed in the first row.
4. In the second row, place one iron ingot in the second box, then put one cobblestone in the first box and another in the third box.
5. In the third row, 1 Redstone dust should occupy the second box, then put one cobblestone in the first box and another in the third box.
