Minecraft:Light Weighted Pressure Plate: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:14, 18 June 2026

Template:Infobox block A light weighted pressure plate is a type of Minecraft:pressure plate that produces a Minecraft:redstone signal while one or more Minecraft:entities stand on it. Depending on how many entities are detected, the outputted Minecraft:signal strength will range from 1 to 15.

Obtaining

Breaking

A light weighted pressure plate can be mined with anything, but Minecraft:pickaxes 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.

Template:Main

Activation

Template:Main

Light weighted pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) and emit a redstone Minecraft:signal strength that is equal to the amount of entities on top of them, up to a maximum power level of 15. Certain entities, however (such as Minecraft:players in Minecraft:spectator mode and Minecraft:markers), cannot activate them nor keep them activated.

Template:IN, Minecraft:Item Frames and Minecraft:glow item frames cannot activate light weighted pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.<ref>This behavior can be observed by placing an item frame inside of a light weighted pressure plate and then stepping on it: the pressure plate doesn't revert to its inactive state even after the player steps off.</ref>

The signal strength from a light 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 the quantity of items, generally leading to one entity count per stack of items. For more information see item entity behavior.

Distracting piglins

Minecraft:Piglins 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.

-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.

-{{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.
+Light weighted pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) and emit a redstone [[Minecraft:signal strength]] that is equal to the amount of entities on top of them, up to a maximum power level of 15. Certain entities, however (such as [[Minecraft:players]] in [[Minecraft:spectator mode]] and [[Minecraft:marker]]s), cannot activate them nor keep them activated.
-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.

+|Light weighted pressure plates have been repurposed: rather than outputting based on the amount of and the stack size of [[Minecraft:item entities]], their output now depends on the amount of [[Minecraft:entities]] (including non-item entities) on top of them. As a result, the stack size of item entities is now ignored: for example, dropping a [[Minecraft:stick]] item and a [[Minecraft:dirt]] item on top of a [[Minecraft:light weighted pressure plate]] now results in a higher output signal compared to dropping a full stack of [[Minecraft:sand]] on it (previously, the opposite would've been the case).
