Overview
Bamboo 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.
In Minecraft 1.21.4, Bamboo Pressure Plate is a redstone block. Bamboo 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 Bamboo Planks.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the bamboo set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 0.5, Bamboo 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.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 2 times faster than the plain tool.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 0.75 s | 0.75 s | 0.75 s |
| Wooden | 0.4 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Stone | 0.2 s | 0.1 s | instant |
| Iron | 0.15 s | instant | instant |
| Diamond | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
| Netherite | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
| Golden | 0.1 s | instant | instant |
Properties
Bamboo 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. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal full stack. It is renewable, so a single world can supply an unlimited amount of it. 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.
