Minecraft:Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:08, 18 June 2026

Template:For Template:Infobox block A heavy 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 heavy weighted pressure plate can be mined with anything, but Minecraft:pickaxes are the fastest. A heavy 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

Heavy 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 Template:Frac (rounded up) of 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 heavy weighted pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.<ref>This behavior can be observed by placing an item frame inside of a heavy 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 heavy 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 heavy 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.

-A '''heavy weighted pressure plate''' is a type of [[Minecraft:pressure plate]] that produces a [[Minecraft:redstone]] signal while an [[Minecraft:entity]] is touching it. Depending on how many entities are touching it between 1 and the maximum of 141, the outputted [[Minecraft:signal strength]] will range from 1 to 15.

-=== Placement ===
+{{main|Pressure Plate#Usage}}
-{{main|Pressure Plate#Placement}}
-A heavy 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 heavy weighted pressure plate detects all [[Minecraft:entities]] on top of it, outputting a redstone signal strength of 1 for every 10 entities present, starting at 1.
 ==== Activation ====
 {{main|Pressure Plate#Activation}}
-While active, a heavy weighted pressure plate weakly powers itself, and strongly powers the block it is placed on.
+Heavy 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 {{frac|1|10}} (rounded up) of 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 heavy weighted pressure plate counts entities, not quantity of items, generally leading to one entity count per stack of items.

-A heavy weighted pressure plate is a [[Minecraft:non-solid block]], allowing entities to freely pass through it.
-The visual height of a pressure plate is {{frac|1|16}} of a block when inactive and {{frac|1|32}} of a block when active.
-[[Minecraft:Fluid]]s flow around a heavy weighted pressure plate without affecting it.

+|Heavy 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).
