Piston, from scratch
Breaking every ingredient down to materials with no recipe of their own, one Piston traces back to roughly:
- 4×Cobblestone

- 1×Cherry Log

- 1×Iron Ingot

- 1×Redstone Dust

Some steps produce more than one at a time. A log yields four planks and four planks yield four sticks, for example. The counts above are rounded up to whole crafting steps, so you will likely end up with a few spares along the way.
