A pressure plate is a non-solid block that can be used to detect players, mobs, items, etc.
There are two versions of the pressure plate: the stone pressure plate () and the wooden pressure plate (Αρχείο:Grid Oak Pressure Plate pre 1.9.png). The only difference between the two are which entities they can detect.
Obtaining[]
A stone pressure plate can be mined using any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it will drop nothing. A wooden pressure plate can be mined using any tool, or without a tool, however axes are the fastest.

A pressure plate will also be removed and drop itself as an item:
- if the block beneath it is moved, removed, or destroyed
- if a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space

Natural generation[]
Pressure plates used as tables in a village library.
One stone pressure plate is generated naturally in each desert temple.
Wooden pressure plates are generated naturally in villages on top of fences as a table.
Usage[]
A pressure plate can be used to craft detector rails, to smelt items, or can be used as a redstone component.

Redstone component[]
- See also: Redstone circuit
A pressure plate can be used to detect entities on top of it (players, mobs, items, etc.).
- Placement

Pressure plate placement and behavior.

Pressure plates on fences.
- To place a pressure plate, use it while aiming at the face of a block adjacent to the destination space.
- A pressure plate can be attached to:
- the top of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), including full-block mechanism components (command blocks, dispensers, droppers, note blocks, and redstone lamps)
- the top of a hopper, fence, nether brick fence, an upside-down slab, or upside-down stairs.
- A pressure plate cannot be attached to the side or bottom of any block, but attempting to make such an attachment may cause the plate to attach to the top of a block under the destination space. For example, if a fence is on the ground, attempting to attach a plate to the side of the fence will cause the plate to be attached to the top of the ground next to the fence instead.
- Activation
- A pressure plate activates when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's collision mask intersects the bottom quarter-block of the pressure plate's space, which may include entities flying close to the ground) and deactivates 5 redstone ticks (0.5 seconds, barring lag) after no entities are on top of it, with a minimum activation time of 10 redstone ticks (1.0 seconds, barring lag).[Verify]
- A stone pressure plate is activated only by mobs (including players), while a wooden pressure plate is activated by all entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) besides snowballs.
- A minecart traveling on rails will activate a pressure plate next to a diagonal track but not one next to a straight track (stone pressure plates are activated only if the minecart contains a mob or player).
- Behavior
- While active, a pressure plate:
- powers adjacent redstone dust, and adjacent redstone comparators or redstone repeaters facing away from the plate, to power level 15
- strongly powers any full solid opaque block beneath it to power level 15
- activates adjacent mechanism components, including above or below, such as pistons, redstone lamps, etc.
Water and lava will flow around a pressure plate without affecting it.
A pressure plate is not solid (it is not a barrier to entity movement). A block under a pressure plate can provide a solid barrier underneath it (for mobs to walk across, items to fall on, etc.), but when a pressure plate is placed on a block with a small collision mask, such as a fence or nether brick fence, it is possible for entities to move through the pressure plate while still activating it (walking through it horizontally, or falling through it vertically). Thus, a pressure plate on a fence can be used to detect entities without stopping them (more compactly than a tripwire circuit).
Pressure plates are 0.0625 blocks high (1⁄16 of a block) when inactive and 0.03125 blocks high (1⁄32 of a block) when active, but because they are not solid they do not affect the position of entities "on top" of them (for example, a player on top of a pressure plate is actually standing on the block beneath it).
Fuel[]
Wooden pressure plates can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per pressure plate.
Data values[]
A pressure plate is defined by its ID and block data. A pressure plate also has a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.
ID[]
A pressure plate's ID specifies what type of pressure plate it is.
Name | ID Name | Block ID |
---|---|---|
Stone Pressure Plate | minecraft:stone_pressure_plate
|
70 |
Wooden Pressure Plate | minecraft:wooden_pressure_plate

Block data[]
- See also: Data values
A pressure plate's data value specifies whether is it active:
Bits | Values |
---|---|
0x1 | If this bit is set, the pressure plate is active. |
0x2 0x4 0x8 |
Unused. |
Block state[]

Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
powered | true false | True if pressure plate is depressed, providing power. |

History[]
Alpha | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
1.0.1 | Αρχείο:Grid Stone Pressure Plate pre 1.9.pngΑρχείο:Grid Oak Pressure Plate pre 1.9.png Added pressure plates. | |||
Beta | ||||
1.3 | Pressure plates only require two wood planks/stone to craft; previous versions required three (this recipe now creates wooden or stone slabs). | |||
1.5 | Stone pressure plates are now used to craft detector rails. | |||
1.6 | Wooden plates no longer require a pickaxe to be successfully extracted; before they used to. Both types of plates can also be recovered by destroying the block they are on. | |||
Pressure plates may no longer be placed on leaf blocks. Pressure plates placed on leaf blocks prior to this update will drop when stepped on and may be recollected. | ||||
1.8 | Pressure plates are placeable on fences, though they are not functional as pressure plates in this configuration. | |||
Official release | ||||
1.0.0 | Beta 1.9-pre2 | Pressure plates now function when placed on top of fences. | ||
1.3.1 | 12w21a | A stone pressure plate now generates in desert temples. | ||
12w23a | Wooden pressure plates can be activated by arrows. | |||
1.9 | 15w31a | ![]() | ||
15w43a | Wood pressure plates are given a different, slightly more high-pitched activation sound, so that they no longer match the sound of stone pressure plates. | |||
15w46a | Mobs no longer spawn on pressure plates. | |||
