Overview
Cherry 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.
Cherry Pressure Plate counts as a redstone block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Cherry 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 Cherry Planks.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the cherry set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0.5 puts Cherry Pressure Plate at 0.75 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.1 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
You are looking at 0.15 seconds on iron and 0.1 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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
Cherry 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. 64 fit in a slot — a 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.
