Weighted Pressure Plate

A weighted pressure plate is a block similar in function to regular pressure plates, except only items can activate them, and the amount of items on the plate determines the strength of the redstone signal emitted. The weighted pressure plate comes in 2 variants, a light version (gold) and a heavy version (iron).

The light version emits a stronger redstone current for every few blocks thrown upon it. It reaches maximum signal when it has 60 items on it (nearly a full stack).

The heavy version emits a stronger redstone current for every item stack thrown upon it. It reaches maximum signal when it has 600 items upon it.

The following table will show how many items should be on pressure plate to output a signal of certain strength:

Bugs

 * Sometimes the Iron Pressure plate will turn on and off rapidly when you put items on it. Conditions uncertain.

Trivia

 * The pressure plates have the texture of iron and gold blocks. This is most noticeable with the 4 stripes on the iron pressure plate.
 * They are also able to be put on fences as well.
 * Gold is more dense than Iron, yet it is used to craft the Light Weighted Pressure Plate. This is probably because it would require less additional weight to activate than the Iron pressure plate.
