[1.10.2] Piston Interaction

Is there any way to have custom piston interaction for a block?  In other words, is there a method that gets called when something is pushed (or going to be pushed), or an event, anything really?  This allowing for making a block immobile without making it a TE or a number of other things, redstone output, change of state, what have you.  I looked around in the vanilla code for a bit, it looks to me like everything in the vanilla game with custom interaction is handled in the piston code itself, which starts to ruin my hopes for such a thing to exist.

    Block

    can be pushed by a piston.

     

    There have been various PRs for piston events in the past, but none have been merged yet. If you need these events, consider submitting a current PR.

    Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

    You may be able to do this with Block#eventReceived(...) otherwise the answer is you can only determine what type of piston interaction it has.

    Alright.  Working on it.

    Nope.  That does not work.
