Overview
Spruce 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.
Minecraft classifies Spruce Pressure Plate as a redstone block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Spruce Pressure Plate. 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 Spruce Planks.
Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the spruce set
How long it takes to break
Spruce Pressure Plate sits at hardness 0.5: 0.75 seconds per block with your fists, 0.1 with the correct netherite tool.
Iron manages 0.15 seconds and diamond 0.1, which makes diamond the tier that changes how this block feels.
Nothing here needs a minimum tier: whatever you swing, the block still drops, and the only difference is how long it takes.
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
With 0.5 blast resistance Spruce Pressure Plate 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 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.
