Talk:Button

Name
The tooltips in version 1.4 name this item "Button," not "Stone Button." --Mozai

1.5 bug
Any workarounds yet? quite a few contraptions depend on using a button that is within 2m of the player, which is too close for the hitbox bug. --Mozai 15:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Who can push?
Can only players push buttons? Can animals? Can zombies and skeletons? --Ericjs 01:32, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Only players can push buttons. Every mob can activate pressure plates, and items (I think they're technically entities) can activate wooden pressure plates too. Deanm 01:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Hiding circuits / Transferring power
Do I have to connect a redstone wire or attach a redstone torch to the block that is supporting the button, or is there a better way to transfer the signal that hides the circuit?

I'm asking this because I learned about pressure plates transferring power down 2 blocks LONG after I started making complicated circuits :) Right now, the best way I know of hiding, say, a double door circuit is having a 3-block long doorway and sticking a redstone torch on the button block and putting redstone wire underneath. This makes for some huge doorways if I want the circuit to be hidden. Aib 01:53, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Faster digging
It can be destroyed even faster with an axe. Can't beleive that no one added this :P Just found it out now.
 * NOPE! It's the sword, and it probably deals double damage, just like it still says in the infobox. --GALAKTOSTalk – Win8βx64, Java7x64, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 14:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Glitch with water
I just noticed while holding a bucket of water and trying to press the button. I accidentally put a block of water on the face where the button was, and after I picked the water back up I noticed the button had disappeared. I've had this happen to me several times now.
