	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 non-[[Minecraft:conductive]] blocks can be found at [[Minecraft:Opacity/Placement]].

	A [[Minecraft:minecart]] traveling on [[Minecraft:rail]]s can activate a pressure plate diagonally adjacent to a curved rail's corner, but not one next to a straight rail (a stone pressure plate cannot be activated by a minecart, but it ''can'' be activated by the minecart's passenger, if present). For a block that works similarly to pressure plates but was designed specifically for minecarts, see [[Minecraft:Detector Rail]].		===Activation===

	A pressure plate is ~~not~~ [[Minecraft:~~Solid_block\|solid~~]] ~~(it is not a barrier to entity movement). A block under~~ a pressure plate ~~can provide a solid surface 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 [[Minecraft:collision box]]~~, ~~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. An entity moving fast enough can phase through a~~ pressure plate ~~without actually activating it~~.		A pressure plate ''activates'' when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's [[Minecraft:collision box]] intersects with a space occupied by the pressure plate that's as large as the pressure plate itself, but is 0.25 blocks ({{frac\|1\|4}} of a block) tall instead of 0.0625 blocks ({{frac\|1\|16}} of a block), which may include entities flying close to the ground). The activation conditions vary depending on the type of pressure plate.

	~~Pressure~~ plates ~~are 0.0625 blocks high (1⁄16 of a block) when inactive~~ and 0.~~03125 blocks high (1⁄32 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~~.		After being activated, the pressure plate periodically<ref>The time period is specific to the type of pressure plate. This period is 10 game ticks for weighted pressure plates and 20 game ticks for other pressure plates.</ref> checks if there are still entities on top of it. If none are found, the pressure plate returns to its inactive state.

	~~Unlike similar redstone components~~, pressure ~~plates cannot be broken by [[Minecraft:water]]~~ and ~~[[Minecraft:lava]], as such they are often used~~ to ~~contain these fluids. {{IN\|be}}, pressure plates can be [[Minecraft:waterlogged]]~~.		While active, a pressure plate provides weak power to its direct neighbors and strong power to the block below itself.
