A pressure plate can be used to detect entities on top of it (players, mobs, items, etc.).
Each type of wooden pressure plate functions exactly the same as the other wooden pressure plates.

To place a pressure plate, {{control|use}} it while aiming at the face of a block adjacent to the destination space.
Wooden pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.). Certain entities, however (such as [[Minecraft:players]] in [[Minecraft:spectator mode]] and [[Minecraft:marker]]s), cannot activate them nor keep them activated.


A pressure plate can be attached to:
{{IN|JE}}, [[Minecraft:Item Frames]] and [[Minecraft:glow item frames]] cannot activate wooden pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.<ref>This behavior can be observed by placing an item frame inside of a wooden 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 '''top''' of any full solid [[Minecraft:opaque]] block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), including full-block mechanism components ([[Minecraft:command block]]s, [[Minecraft:dispenser]]s, [[Minecraft:dropper]]s, [[Minecraft:note block]]s, and [[Minecraft:redstone lamp]]s)
* the '''top''' of a [[Minecraft:hopper]], [[Minecraft:fence]], [[Minecraft:nether brick fence]], an upside-down [[Minecraft:slab]], or upside-down [[Minecraft:stairs]].


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.
After being activated, a wooden pressure plate periodically checks every 20 [[Minecraft:game tick]]s if there are still entities on top of it. If none are found, the pressure plate returns to its inactive state.


More information regarding placement on transparent blocks can be found at [[Minecraft:Opacity/Placement]].
The [[Minecraft:signal strength]] emitted by a wooden pressure plate is always 15.
 
==== Activation ====
A pressure plate ''activates'' when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's collision mask intersects the bottom quarter-block of the pressure plate's space, which may include entities flying close to the ground), with a minimum activation time of {{convert|1|second|tick}}.
 
A wooden pressure plate is activated by all entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.).
 
Once activated, a pressure plate checks if entities are still present at regular intervals. Wooden pressure plates check every {{convert|10|redstone tick|second}}, starting 10 redstone ticks after activation, so they deactivate up to 10 redstone ticks after no entities are on top of them.
 
A [[Minecraft:minecart]] traveling on [[Minecraft:rail]]s activates a pressure plate next to a diagonal track but not one next to a straight track.
 
==== Behavior ====
While active, a pressure plate:
* powers adjacent '''[[Minecraft:redstone dust]]''', and adjacent '''[[Minecraft:redstone comparator]]s''' or '''[[Minecraft:redstone repeater]]s''' facing away from the plate
* strongly powers any full solid opaque '''block''' beneath it
* activates adjacent '''[[Minecraft:mechanism component]]s''', including above or below, such as [[Minecraft:piston]]s, [[Minecraft:redstone lamp]]s, etc.
 
The [[Minecraft:Redstone circuit#Power level|power level]] is always 15.
 
[[Minecraft:Water]] and [[Minecraft:lava]] flow around a pressure plate without affecting it.
 
A pressure plate is not solid (it is not a barrier to entity movement). A block under a pressure plate can provide a solid barrier 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 collision mask, 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 (more compactly than a tripwire circuit).
 
Pressure plates are 0.0625 blocks high ({{frac|1|16}} of a block) when inactive and 0.03125 blocks high ({{frac|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.
 
Pressure plates can also open [[Minecraft:doors]], activate [[Minecraft:TNT]], and power [[Minecraft:command block]]s.

Template:Infobox block A wooden pressure plate is a wooden variant of the Minecraft:pressure plate. It can detect all entities, producing the maximum signal strength of 15. Wooden pressure plates come in all variants of wood.

Obtaining

Breaking

A wooden pressure plate can be mined using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item. However, Minecraft:axes are the fastest way to break one.

Template:Breaking row

A pressure plate is removed and drops itself as an item if:

  • the block beneath it is moved, removed, or destroyed
  • a Minecraft:piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space

Natural generation

Oak pressure plates can generate in some Minecraft:plains village houses and in Minecraft:trial chambers (some Minecraft:dispenser traps and a hidden chamber in the "Intersection 2" room).

Acacia pressure plates can generate in some Minecraft:savanna Minecraft:village houses.

Spruce pressure plates can generate in some Minecraft:snowy tundra, Minecraft:taiga, and Minecraft:snowy taiga Minecraft:village houses.

Usage

Template:Main

Each type of wooden pressure plate functions exactly the same as the other wooden pressure plates.

Activation

Template:Main

Wooden pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.). 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 wooden pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.<ref>This behavior can be observed by placing an item frame inside of a wooden pressure plate and then stepping on it: the pressure plate doesn't revert to its inactive state even after the player steps off.</ref>

After being activated, a wooden pressure plate periodically checks every 20 Minecraft:game ticks if there are still entities on top of it. If none are found, the pressure plate returns to its inactive state.

The Minecraft:signal strength emitted by a wooden pressure plate is always 15.

Fuel

Overworld wooden pressure plates can be used as a Minecraft:fuel in Minecraft:furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per pressure plate. Nether wood pressure plates (crimson and warped), cannot be used as fuel in a furnace.
