Overview
Pale Oak 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.
Pale Oak Button counts as a redstone block in Minecraft 1.21.4. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Pale Oak 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 Pale Oak Planks.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the pale oak set
How long it takes to break
Pale Oak Button sits at hardness 0.5: 0.75 seconds per block with your fists, 0.1 with the correct netherite tool.
You are looking at 0.15 seconds on iron and 0.1 on diamond — the diamond step is where the time actually falls.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
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
Pale Oak Button resists blasts at 0.5, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. 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.
