Trivia

• Wooden Buttons have a longer delay than Stone Buttons. Stone Buttons have a 1-second or 10 tick delay, and Wooden Buttons have a 1.5 second or 15 tick delay.
• Wooden buttons can act like levers in the fact that they can send a continuous Redstone signal if shot with a bow and arrow.
• Stone buttons won`t activate if an arrow is shot at them probably because it is heavier than wooden buttons.
• Wooden buttons can be used as fuel for furnaces, giving half an operation (a third of a plank`s output).

Strongholds can be located using eyes , next to iron doors.

Redstone power

A button can be used as a monostable See a specific category of redstone circuits. For other circuits, see redstone circuits. A pulse circuit is a redstone circuit which generates, modifies, detects, or otherwise operates on redstone pulses. See also: power source (it will automatically deactivate shortly after being activated).

Placement

To place a button, use the "Use Item/Place Block" control (right-click, by default) while aiming at the surface to which it should be attached.

A button can be attached to the side, bottom and top of any full solid opaque block (stone, dirt, blocks of gold, etc.).

Activation

Buttons are usually in an inactive state, but can be temporarily activated by players. To activate a placed button, use the "Use Item/Place Block" control (right-click, by default). A wooden button can also be activated by a fired arrow Arrow Type Combat Durability N/A Renewable Yes Stackable Yes (64) Internal ID Normal / Tipped: PC: 10, PE: 80 Spectral: PC: 24 Network ID Normal / Tipped: PC: 60 Spectral: PC: 91 Entity ID Normal .

Behavior

When activated, a stone button will remain active for 10 redstone ticks (1 second, barring lag), while a wooden button will remain active for 15 redstone ticks (1.5 seconds, barring lag). A wooden button activated by a fired arrow will remain active until the arrow despawns after one minute or is picked up. Breaking a button hit by an arrow and placing it again will not auto-activate it, but using it an additional time will result in the button being pressed until the arrow despawns.

While active, a button:

Data values

A button`s type is defined by its ID name, and its orientation and activation status is stored in its block data. A button also has a block state which is expected to replace the functionality of block data in a future version.

Uses

When used with redstone, it can activate mechanism-related items, such as doors, pistons or TNT. When pressed, it will send a short pulse of power (lasting approximately 1.0 seconds, or 10 ticks) to any redstone-powered item.

Inside Snapshot 12w34a, a Wood variation of the regular button was added and is created by placing a Wood Plank anywhere in the Crafting Grid.
