A '''light weighted pressure plate''' is a type of [[Minecraft:pressure plate]] that outputs a variable redstone [[Minecraft:signal strength]] equal to the number of [[Minecraft:entities]] touching it, but no higher than 15.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A light weighted pressure plate can be mined with anything, but [[Minecraft:pickaxe]]s are the fastest. A light weighted pressure plate also breaks and drops itself if a [[Minecraft:piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the pressure plate is moved or destroyed.

=== Placement ===
{{main|Pressure Plate#Placement}}
A light weighted 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 ===
{{see also|Redstone circuit}}
A light weighted pressure plate detects all [[Minecraft:entities]] on top of it, outputting a redstone signal strength of 1 for every entity present, up to the maximum of 15 signal strength with 15 or more entities.

==== Activation ====
{{main|Pressure Plate#Activation}}

While active, a light weighted pressure plate weakly powers itself, and strongly powers the block it is placed on.

The power level output varies depending on the number of entities colliding with the pressure plate.

The signal strength from a weighted pressure plate does not vary with the type of entity. 15 mobs will produce the same signal strength as 15 different items. Note the light weighted pressure plate counts entities, not quantity of items, generally leading to one entity count per stack of items. For more information see [[Minecraft:Item (entity)#Behavior| item entity behavior]].

=== Behavior ===
A light weighted pressure plate is a [[Minecraft:non-solid block]], allowing entities to freely pass through it.

The visual height of a pressure plate is 0.0625 ({{frac|1|16}}) blocks when inactive and 0.03125 ({{frac|1|32}}) blocks when active.

[[Minecraft:Fluid]]s flow around a light weighted pressure plate without affecting it.

=== Distracting piglins ===
[[Minecraft:Piglin]]s are attracted towards light weighted pressure plates, run toward any light weighted pressure plates on the ground, and inspect them for 6 to 8 seconds before putting them in their [[Minecraft:inventory]] slot. During this time, the piglin does not attack nearby players, even if they are not wearing gold armor.
