Overview
Dark Oak 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, Dark Oak Pressure Plate is a redstone block. Dark Oak 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 Dark Oak Planks.
It is not used in any crafting recipe.

How long it takes to break
Dark Oak Pressure Plate has a hardness of 0.5. By hand that is 0.75 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.1 seconds.
You are looking at 0.15 seconds on iron and 0.1 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 2 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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 Dark Oak Pressure Plate goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. One inventory slot holds 64, the normal 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.
