Gold Piston

Gold Pistons are stronger than regular pistons, but they require 3 gold blocks instead of 3 planks and they have 8 stages until they fully break (similar to anvils). They can be traded with Piglins, and Piglins will also get mad if they see you mining one near them. Gold Pistons can also push Obsidian, but it wastes 3 stages instead of 1. And if Gold Pistons break, they drop 2 Gold Blocks, 1 redstone, and 1 iron ingot. They also have sticky variants as well as their default variant.

EDIT: The sticky variant could be made with a honey bottle instead of a slimeball
