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.

Wood Button Bug?
It seems that with the new wooden button, there is a funny bug that kind of cheats games that require you to hit the button with an arrow. No matter where you hit on the block face that the button is on, if on the bottom half, it will always activate, even if not on the button, but will never activate on the top half.
