A stone pressure plate is a stone variant of the pressure plate that can detect only players and mobs.

Obtaining

Breaking

A stone pressure plate can be mined with anything, but pickaxes are the fastest. A stone pressure plate also breaks and drops itself if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the pressure plate is moved or destroyed.

Natural generation

One stone pressure plate is generated naturally in each desert pyramid. Stone pressure plates can also generate in ancient cities.

Usage

A stone pressure plate has equivalent functionality as a polished blackstone pressure plate, except for the additional functionality as a crafting ingredient.

Crafting ingredient

Name	Ingredients	[hide]Crafting recipe
Detector Rail	Iron Ingot + Stone Pressure Plate + Redstone Dust	6

Placement

A stone pressure plate can only be placed on the top of other blocks with either a full solid block face, a solid center, or a solid rim.

Redstone component

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

Activation

A stone pressure plate is activated only by mobs, players and armor stands, unlike wooden pressure plates.

Once activated, a pressure plate checks if entities are still present at regular intervals. Stone pressure plates check every 10 redstone ticks, starting 10 redstone ticks after activation, so they deactivate up to 10 redstone ticks (20 game ticks or 1 second, barring lag) after no entities are on top of them.

Stone pressure plates are activated by minecarts only if the minecart contains a mob or player.

Behavior

For stone pressure plates, the power level is always 15.

Note blocks

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