Sticky pistons will not push more than 1 slime block

Aikar & Devs. What did y'all do to the piston mechanics on this server? I am trying to make a simple auto flushing farm and for whatever reason pistons on this server act very strange either together or as a single piston. If I place 8 reg or sticky pistons facing down and power them, they will work just fine. IF those same sticky pistons are used to hold back water then the 2nd and 4th piston will not extend. So with that in mind I decided to use 1 sticky and slime blocks to hold the water back. With 1 slime block the sticky piston will extend, however when you add just 1 more slime block to the side the sticky piston will no longer extend.

I've seen strange things happen on chunk borders...Is your build on a border?

All of the pistons are inside the same chunk, but yes the 1st piston is on the border. However, the mirrored side does not have the issue.

I tried to build a flying machine in the wild before and the piston wouldn't even push one block

Anti-grief does that.

What do you mean? Anti-grief disables pistons? Pitsons work most of the time

Either your entire redstone build must be protected by the same player, or be unprotected altogether. If not, it will not work.

It was, I turned on buildmode and replaced each block 1 by 1, but maybe when I powered up the machine I needed the kick start to be in buildmode too, not sure, anyways originally I wasn't in buildmode so all the blocks should have not been protected. All I'm saying is it was a bit trouble some even though I'm sure after a few hours I could have made it work

Unless you're in /noprotectmode, a lot of redstone materials and other blocks will automatically be protected.

I didn't know that was a command, thanks
