Description

Cherry Button is a wooden button that gives off a redstone signal (power that flows through redstone dust and switches on pistons and lamps) for 1.5 seconds, or 30 ticks (1 tick is 1/20 of a second), after every press. Cherry Button is crafted from a single Cherry Planks block, drops itself when broken with any tool, and breaks fastest with an axe. Cherry Button stacks to 64 and does not emit light.

Cherry Button can be attached to the side, top, or bottom of any full opaque block. While pressed, Cherry Button powers adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, strongly powers the block the button is attached to, and activates mechanism components such as pistons and redstone lamps next to the button. Players, arrows, tridents, and wind charges can all press Cherry Button, which makes ranged triggers possible. Cherry Button also has its own cherry-wood click sound, distinct from the click of the standard wooden button.

Guide

How to use Cherry Button in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft Cherry Button

    One Cherry Planks block in the crafting grid of a Crafting Table produces one Cherry Button.

  2. 2

    Attach Cherry Button

    Cherry Button attaches to the side, top, or bottom of any full opaque block when the player uses the button on that surface.

  3. 3

    Connect the signal

    Redstone dust laid next to Cherry Button carries the signal onward, and a Piston or Redstone Lamp beside Cherry Button switches on directly.

  4. 4

    Press and wait

    The player uses Cherry Button to send a pulse, and the signal switches off by itself after 1.5 seconds.

Keep water and lava away

In Java Edition, water or lava flowing into the space of Cherry Button breaks the button and drops Cherry Button as an item.

Frequently asked questions

Can arrows press Cherry Button?

Yes. An arrow or thrown trident that touches Cherry Button presses the button and holds the signal until the projectile despawns after 1 minute or a player picks the projectile up. A wind charge also presses Cherry Button.

How long does Cherry Button stay on compared with a Stone Button?

Cherry Button stays on for 30 ticks (1.5 seconds), while a Stone Button stays on for 20 ticks (1 second).

Can Cherry Button be used as furnace fuel?

Yes. Cherry Button smelts 0.5 items per button in a Furnace, whereas Crimson Button and Warped Button cannot be used as fuel.

Does Cherry Button generate in structures?

No. Among wooden buttons, only Oak Button and Jungle Button generate naturally, so Cherry Button must be crafted from Cherry Planks.

Which version added Cherry Button?

Cherry Button became available in Java Edition 1.20 and Bedrock Edition 1.20.0; earlier, only experimental settings gave access (Java 1.19.4, Bedrock 1.19.80).
