Q&A for How to Build a Piston Drawbridge in Minecraft

You can add guardians if you use water and not lava.

Extend the power of the redstone wire with redstone repeaters. However, they do give a one-tick delay, but that shouldn't matter for this project, as long as you don't rush going on the drawbridge.

If you have a mod for acid in Minecraft, go for it.

Yes, you can substitute the repeaters with comparators.

It does work, but it will be a bug in MCPE. Try updating or waiting for an update.

It can be as wide and long as you want it to be, but make sure your power can reach the buttons or levers.

It should, as long as there are enough blocks around your moat to support the lava or water.

Did you make sure to use sticky pistons? If they are sticky pistons, it may be a glitch or maybe you wired it incorrectly.

Tap on the screen, as you would left-click on a computer.

This should work in Minecraft Edu, but it might cause a little bit of lag because of the extra elements added in.

You need a crafting table, which you can craft out of four wood by going to the inventory section and clicking the crafting table.

Make sure everything is placed according to the instructions. To increase your building skill overall, just practice.

When this happens you probably used non-sticky pistons. Make sure you use sticky pistons. If that is not the case, you might want to add another set of pistons on the other side to push the rest of the blocks.

That might mess it up. You could try putting buttons or pressure plates instead, but you would have to go across quickly.

It can unless the redstone dust is touching water or lava. It would work for The End; It will work in the Nether unless it's touching lava; This will be very hard to build underwater so it probably won't work underwater as the redstone dust will drop itself while contact with water.

The redstone dust is connected and is activated as the lever is on. The pistons are activated because of the activated redstone dust.

You could use strings and tripwire hooks, piston and glass. The principle is to detect anyone who steps on the string and it will activate the piston that pushes the glass towards you.

Just as the question on guardians says, only if you use water instead of lava. That being said, possibly you could still use lava if you were to set up some sort of system that dispensed fire resistance potions onto the guardians.

No, obsidian can't be moved by pistons. It wouldn't work successfully. You could use diamond or netherite blocks, which are durable and can be moved

You can use glass or other blocks to cover the redstone. Just make sure the redstone has a way of getting to the piston.

You can’t push or pull the obsidian. You could use other blocks such as cobblestone, which has some blast resistance.

Comparators are used for certain redstone signals, repeaters lengthen the redstone signal.

Anything that isn’t wood, wool, or netherack. Wood burns, wool catches fire quickly, and netherack keeps fire alight.

Place down a repeater, it is already on one tick. Tap once for 2 ticks, twice for 3 ticks, and three times for 4 ticks.
