A '''pressure plate''' is a non-solid [[Minecraft:block]] that produces a [[Minecraft:redstone]] signal when stood on by an entity, with multiple variants that have different properties.

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-conductive blocks can be found at 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]].

A pressure plate is not 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 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.

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.

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. {{MC/In|be}}, pressure plates can be waterlogged.

A pressure plate ''activates'' when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's 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.

After being activated, the pressure plate periodically<ref group="n">The time period is specific to the type of pressure plate.

All pressure plates.

A pressure plate is a non-solid Minecraft:block that produces a Minecraft:redstone signal when stood on by an Minecraft:entity, with multiple variants that have different properties.

Usage

Template:See alsoTemplate:Hatnote A pressure plate can be used to detect entities on top of it (players, mobs, items, etc.).

To place a pressure plate, Template:Control it while aiming at the face of a block adjacent to the destination space.

A pressure plate can be placed on top of:

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:rails 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.

A pressure plate is not 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.

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.

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. Template:IN, pressure plates can be Minecraft:waterlogged.


Behavior

File:Pressure plate as power source.png
Pressure plate placement and behavior.

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 (Template:Frac of a block) tall instead of 0.0625 blocks (Template:Frac of a block), which may include entities flying close to the ground). The activation conditions vary depending on the type of pressure plate.

After being activated, the pressure plate periodically<ref group="n">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.

While active, a pressure plate provides weak power to its direct neighbors and strong power to the block below itself.
