Redstone power

A button can be used as a monostable redstone power source (it automatically deactivates shortly after being activated).

Buttons are usually in an inactive state, but can be temporarily activated by players. A stone button is activated by a player Template:Control it or when hit by a wind charge. Minecraft:Mobs cannot activate buttons directly.

When activated, a stone button remains active for Template:Convert.

While active, a button:

powers any adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, including beneath the button
powers any adjacent redstone comparators or redstone repeaters facing away from the button to power level 15
strongly powers its attachment block to power level 15
activates any adjacent mechanism components, including above or below, such as Minecraft:pistons, redstone lamps, etc.

When a button changes state it provides a redstone update to all redstone components adjacent to itself (including above and below), and to all redstone components adjacent to its attachment block.
