Levers drop themselves when destroyed, and when their attachment block is moved or removed.

Natural generation

[edit | edit source]

Three levers generate naturally in each jungle temple. They also generate in woodland mansions and ancient cities.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

In Java Edition, lever can be destroyed by fluids.

πŸ‘ Image
Five of the eight possible orientations, levers off.

A lever can be used as a player-switchable redstone power source.

Placement

[edit | edit source]

A lever can be attached to the top, side, or bottom of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.), or to the top of an upside-down slab or upside-down stairs (but not to the bottom of a right-side-up slab or stairs). When placed on the top or bottom of a block, the lever orients itself in-line with the placing player.

In Bedrock Edition, it can additionally be placed on the top of a fence, stone wall or hopper, and can be placed underwater.

When placed on the side of blocks, down is on and up is off. On the top or bottom of blocks, off is north or west, on is south or east.

Activation

[edit | edit source]

To activate or deactivate a lever, use the "Use Item/Place Block" control (right-click, by default). A lever can be turned on and off as fast as it can be clicked.

Mobs cannot turn a lever on or off, except accidentally by a wind charge shot from a breeze.

Behavior

[edit | edit source]

While active, a lever:

Piston interactivity

[edit | edit source]

Lever is destroyed when the piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by the sticky piston.
