A wooden pressure plate is a wooden variant of the pressure plate. It can detect all entities, producing the maximum signal strength of 15. Wooden pressure plates come in all variants of wood.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]

Breaking[edit | edit source]

A wooden pressure plate can be mined using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item. However, axes are the fastest way to break one.

  • drops the block itself
  • italicized can be instant mined
  1. These durations ignore other influential factors (e.g. Mining Fatigue), and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

A pressure plate is removed and drops itself as an item if:

  • the block beneath it is moved, removed, or destroyed
  • a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space

Natural generation[edit | edit source]

Oak pressure plates can generate in some plains village houses and in trial chambers (some dispenser traps and a hidden chamber in the "Intersection 2" room).

Acacia pressure plates can generate in some savanna village houses.

Spruce pressure plates can generate in some snowy tundra, taiga, and snowy taiga village houses.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Redstone component[edit | edit source]

See also: Redstone circuit

A pressure plate can be used to detect entities on top of it (players, mobs, items, etc.).

Placement[edit | edit source]

Pressure plate placement and behavior.
Pressure plates on fences.

To place a pressure plate, use it while aiming at the face of a block adjacent to the destination space.

A pressure plate can be attached to:

A pressure plate cannot be attached to the side or bottom of any block, but attempting to make such an attachment may cause the plate to attach to the top of a block under the destination space. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach a plate to the side of the fence causes the plate to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.

More information regarding placement on transparent blocks can be found at Opacity/Placement.

Activation[edit | edit source]

A pressure plate activates when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's collision mask intersects the bottom quarter-block of the pressure plate's space, which may include entities flying close to the ground), with a minimum activation time of 1 second (20 game ticks).

A wooden pressure plate is activated by all entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) besides snowballs.

Once activated, a pressure plate checks if entities are still present at regular intervals. Wooden pressure plates check every 10 redstone ticks (1 second), starting 10 redstone ticks after activation, so they deactivate up to 10 redstone ticks after no entities are on top of them.

A minecart traveling on rails activates a pressure plate next to a diagonal track but not one next to a straight track.

Behavior[edit | edit source]

While active, a pressure plate:

The power level is always 15.

Water and lava flow around a pressure plate without affecting it.

A pressure plate is not solid (it is not a barrier to entity movement). A block under a pressure plate can provide a solid barrier underneath it (for mobs to walk across, items to fall on, etc.), but when a pressure plate is placed on a block with a small collision mask, such as a fence or nether brick fence, it is possible for entities to move through the pressure plate while still activating it (walking through it horizontally, or falling through it vertically). Thus, a pressure plate on a fence can be used to detect entities without stopping them (more compactly than a tripwire circuit).

Pressure plates are 0.0625 blocks high (116 of a block) when inactive and 0.03125 blocks high (132 of a block) when active, but because they are not solid they do not affect the position of entities "on top" of them, so a player on top of a pressure plate is actually standing on the block beneath it.

Pressure plates can also open doors, activate TNT, and power command blocks.

Fuel[edit | edit source]

Overworld wooden pressure plates can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per pressure plate. Nether wood pressure plates (crimson and warped), cannot be used as fuel in a furnace.

Note blocks[edit | edit source]

Wooden pressure plates can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass" sounds.

May 21, 2009Notch shows interest in adding pressure plates.
October 18, 2022 Bamboo pressure plates were shown in an official article.
[hide]Java Edition Alpha
v1.0.1 Added wooden pressure plates.
The model of pressure plates in item form is different.
[hide]Java Edition Beta
1.3Pressure plates now require only two wood planks to craft; previous versions required three (this recipe now creates wooden slabs).
1.6Test Build 3Wooden plates no longer require a pickaxe to be successfully extracted.
Pressure plates can now also be recovered by destroying the block they are on.
Pressure plates may no longer be placed on leaf blocks or TNT. Pressure plates placed on such blocks prior to this update drop themselves when updated (whether by stepping on them or by placing/breaking adjacent blocks) and can be recollected, though they can still ignite TNT.
1.7 The model of pressure plates has been changed.
1.8Pre-releasePressure plates can now be placed on fences, though they are not functional in this configuration due to the fence's hitbox.
Dropped pressure plate items no longer appear larger than normal blocks.
