Place extended piston?

Hey guys,

does someone know how to place a extended piston which is extended to the sky? I tried it with placing the two Materials but ... it didn't work.
Thanks for your help!

 

I don't think there is a way of keeping the piston constantly extended. Unless you want to spawn the piston_extension piece pointing to the sky?

Yes, if that works.. But how would I do that? It kept despawning or it wasn't even placed or it was facing down

 

Mess around with:

Code:java

block.setType(Material.PISTON_MOVING_EXTENSION);

Set the data value to 4 or 5 to have it pointing upright.

I got it working with the PISTON_EXTENSION thingy but the lower part doesn't get placed..
