Wooden Pressure Plate

Breaking

A wooden pressure plate can be mined using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item. However, axes are the fastest way to break one.

incorrect tool, drops nothing
correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
correct tool, drops the block itself
italicized can be instant mined

↑ These durations ignore any other influential factors (e.g., Mining Fatigue) and are measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.

A pressure plate is removed and drops itself as an item if:

the block beneath it is moved, removed, or destroyed
a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space

Natural generation

Oak pressure plates can generate in some plains village houses and in trial chambers (some dispenser traps and a hidden chamber in the "Intersection 2" room).

Acacia pressure plates can generate in some savanna village houses.

Spruce pressure plates can generate in some snowy tundra, taiga, and snowy taiga village houses.

Usage

Main article: Pressure Plate § Usage

Each type of wooden pressure plate functions exactly the same as the other wooden pressure plates.

Activation

Main article: Pressure Plate § Activation

Wooden pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.). Certain entities, however (such as players in spectator mode and markers), cannot activate them nor keep them activated.

In Java Edition, Item Frames and glow item frames cannot activate wooden pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.^[1]

After being activated, a wooden pressure plate periodically checks every 20 game ticks if there are still entities on top of it. If none are found, the pressure plate returns to its inactive state.

The signal strength emitted by a wooden pressure plate is always 15.

Fuel

Overworld wooden pressure plates can be used as a fuel in furnaces, smelting 1.5 items per pressure plate. Nether wood pressure plates (crimson and warped), cannot be used as fuel in a furnace.

		Pressure plates can now also be recovered by destroying the block they are on.
		Pressure plates may no longer be placed on leaf blocks or TNT. Pressure plates placed on such blocks prior to this update drop themselves when updated (whether by stepping on them or by placing/breaking adjacent blocks) and can be recollected, though they can still ignite TNT.
