Overview
Cherry Button 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 Button is the same shape in a different material.
Minecraft classifies Cherry Button as a redstone block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Cherry Button. It breaks almost instantly, with a hardness of just 0.5.
You can break it by hand without losing the drop. It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it.
It offers almost no protection from explosions (0.5 blast resistance). A full stack holds 64. It is crafted from Cherry Planks.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the cherry set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0.5 puts Cherry Button at 0.75 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.1 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
Iron manages 0.15 seconds and diamond 0.1, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
The Efficiency formula is level² + 1 added to tool speed — at V that is about 2 times the unenchanted rate.
| 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
With 0.5 blast resistance Cherry Button goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. An axe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag. As furnace fuel it burns for 15 seconds — one and a half smelting operations.
