How it works

One sticky piston lifts a slime block and its two side loads together; switching off pulls the complete group back. The slime starts one block above the floor to avoid grabbing the floor. Keep the layer above all three loads clear. Checked through three full lift/return cycles.

  1. An upward sticky piston lifts a slime block and its two attached side loads.
  2. The slime begins above the floor so it does not recruit the floor. All three cells above the loads must remain clear.

Inputs and outputs

  • Inputlift the group (x 0, y 0, z 0)
  • Outputpiston extended; all three loads raised (x 3, y 0, z 0)

Blocks you need

2 × redstone dust, 1 × lever, 1 × sticky piston, 1 × slime block, 1 × gold block, 1 × lapis block.

Build it in the game: 7 commands

Relative to where you stand, with x running east and z running south. Paste one line at a time into chat, or into a chain of command blocks. The block art is the game's own; the layout is what the page above shows.
