A wooden button is a variant of the button, a non-solid block that produces a temporary redstone signal when pressed. Wooden buttons come in every variation of wood. They are activated either by a player interacting with the button or when hit by an arrow or trident. They remain pressed for longer than a stone button.

Obtaining

Breaking

A wooden button is most easily broken with an axe. It drops itself as an item when broken using any tool.

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

A button is removed and drops as an item if:

• its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed.
• water or lava flows into its space.‌
• a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space.

Natural generation

Jungle buttons generate naturally on house walls in desert villages. Oak buttons generate naturally in trial chambers making up the various dispensers.

Crafting

Buttons can be crafted from planks for a matching wood-type button.

Usage

Placement

Buttons can be placed by using them on a surface.

They can be attached to the side, bottom and top of any full opaque block.

In Java Edition, if placed on the top or bottom of a block, the button can face any direction.

It can also be attached to the top of a fence in Bedrock Edition.

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

Redstone power

A button can be used as a monostable redstone power source (it automatically deactivates shortly after being activated).

Activation

Buttons are usually in an inactive state, but can be temporarily activated by players using it. A wooden button can also be activated by a fired arrow or a thrown trident if its collision box touched the button.

Mobs cannot activate buttons directly, but arrows fired by skeletons or dispensers can activate wooden buttons.

Behavior

When activated, a wooden button remains active for 1.5 seconds (15 redstone ticks; 30 game ticks). A wooden button activated by a fired arrow or a thrown trident remains active until the arrow or trident despawns (after 1 minute) or is picked up by a player.

While active, a button:

• powers any adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, including beneath the button
• powers any adjacent redstone comparators or redstone repeaters facing away from the button to power level 15
• strongly powers its attachment block to power level 15
• activates any adjacent mechanism components, including above or below, such as pistons, redstone lamps, etc.

When a button changes state it provides a redstone update to all redstone components adjacent to itself (including above and below), and to all redstone components adjacent to its attachment block.

Fuel

Overworld wooden buttons can be used as a fuel source in furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per button. Nether wood buttons (crimson and warped), cannot be used as fuel in a furnace.
