Overview
Stone 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 Stone Pressure Plate as a redstone block. Stone Pressure Plate is made at a crafting table. A hardness of 0.5 means it is one of the quicker blocks to clear.
No specific tool is required to collect it. Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light.
A blast resistance of 0.5 means a single creeper will clear it away. It stacks to 64. You make it with Stone.
The one thing it makes is Detector Rail.
About the stone set
How long it takes to break
Hardness 0.5 puts Stone Pressure Plate at 0.75 seconds a block bare-handed, or 0.1 seconds with the right tool at netherite tier.
An iron tool takes 0.15 seconds and a diamond one 0.1, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to diamond.
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.
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
Stone 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. A single slot takes 64, the usual full stack. A pickaxe 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.
