Acacia Pressure Plate

Overview

Acacia Pressure Plate is one of the 13 variants of this shape in the game. What changes between them is the material, and with it the hardness, the drops, the durability and the recipe — so every figure on this page is this variant's own. Oak Pressure Plate is the same shape in a different material.

Acacia Pressure Plate counts as a redstone block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Acacia Pressure Plate has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. With a hardness of 0.5 it gives way immediately under almost any tool.

Any tool works, and so do bare hands. Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels.

With a blast resistance of only 0.5 it will not survive an explosion. Sixty-four fit in one inventory slot. The recipe calls for Acacia Planks.

It is not used in any crafting recipe.

About the acacia set

Acacia is the orange wood, and it is the only one — no other tree in Minecraft produces planks in that colour, which is why acacia turns up in builds that need warmth without going red. It grows only in savanna and savanna plateau, on a trunk that leans diagonally under a flat spreading canopy, so felling one leaves floating log segments unless you cut from the top down. The set is the standard twelve-piece one: planks, stairs, slabs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, hanging signs, buttons, pressure plates and a boat, all sharing a hardness of 2, a blast resistance of 3, and the same recipes as every other wood. Remember that savanna never rains, so an acacia build has no natural fire protection at all — keep lava, campfires and furnaces well away from it, or add a lightning rod.

How long it takes to break

At a hardness of 0.5, Acacia Pressure Plate takes 0.75 seconds to punch out and 0.1 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.

Iron takes 0.15 seconds against diamond's 0.1, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to diamond.

Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.

Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 2 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.

Tool	No enchantment	Efficiency III	Efficiency V

Wooden	0.4 s	0.1 s	instant

Properties

Acacia Pressure Plate has a blast resistance of 0.5, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 64 — the standard full stack. An axe is fastest here; any other class mines it at bare-hand speed, because the bonus only applies to the class the block is tagged for. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.

Transparent: Yes
Required tool: Any
Fuel value: 15 s
