I know this is really an extremely wierd annoyance and not a bug, but I am having trouble with getting pistons to work on Minecraft. I am trying to make a special cannon that reloads itself, but, though I checked the pistons to make sure they were correctly wired, they do not push the TNT foward despite everything wired correctly. Also, this happens also when it pushes sand, and I checked to make sure no walls were blocking the 24 block long lines of TNT, arranged in rows and columns. Is anyone else having this problem, because I take this error personally and not to mention pistons work fine when I did a configuration test by placing a similar system not connected to the actual cannon, and it worked fine. I tried rebuilding the ammo loader from scratch twice, but they still will not move an inch. Can someone help? I have the latest version of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition.
Pistons on PC and xbox are different. The PC versions are slower, which ruins all circuits from before 1.23. So, the circuit you are using must be from PC.
Also, pistons only push up to 12 blocks. Not 24.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.

^^^ There's your problem.
A piston can't push more than 12 blocks at a time.
Pistons don't work as they should in the 360 edition, that's all.
Err... yeah... they kinda do. They have one small bug, which is a visual glitch. There's also a bug where hitboxes and textures of a block will disappear when being moved rapidly. The only creation I can even think of that this bug would break is some elevator designs. Elevators are pretty useless anyway, so it doesn't matter to most people. Other than that, I've used pistons in some pretty complex machines without any problem once I had them synchronized.
Thanks for the info on the fact that only 12 can be pushed at a time. You see, the reason why I used 24 is because I wanted very long lasting ammo so I would have to manually refill it even less. Thanks guys. If this happens while having only 12 TNT, I will lt you know. Until then, no need for more solutions.
You could have it so the 12th block is another piston that pushes the other 12 blocks of tnt. Hard 2 explain what i mean

...using pistons to push the row down one then another to restart the line. Technically, using this you could extend it indefinatley.
