How to Make Crimson Button in Minecraft
Crimson Button
Crimson Button is a Nether wood button (a redstone switch) that stays pressed for 1.5 seconds and also reacts to arrows and tridents.
Description
While active, Crimson Button powers adjacent redstone dust, repeaters, and comparators to the maximum signal strength of 15 and strongly powers the attachment block. An arrow or trident left stuck in Crimson Button keeps the signal on until the projectile despawns after one minute or a player picks the projectile up, so a signal holds without anyone standing at the switch. Crimson Button attaches to the side, top, or bottom face of any full opaque block. Being Nether wood, Crimson Button never burns and cannot fuel a furnace, unlike overworld wooden buttons that each smelt 0.5 items.

How to Craft and Use a Crimson Button in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the button
Place one Crimson Planks anywhere on the crafting grid to produce one Crimson Button.
-
2
Attach the button
Use Crimson Button on the side, top, or bottom face of a full opaque block to attach the button.
-
3
Press the button
Use Crimson Button by hand for a 1.5-second signal, or shoot an arrow into Crimson Button to keep the signal on until the arrow despawns after one minute or gets picked up.
-
4
Wire the redstone signal
Lay redstone dust next to Crimson Button or point a repeater away from the button; powered components run at signal strength 15.
-
5
Break and move the button
Break Crimson Button with any tool — an axe is fastest — and the button drops as an item; moving or destroying the block behind Crimson Button also pops the button off.
Crimson Button cannot smelt anything in a furnace, because Nether wood buttons are not a fuel source, unlike overworld wooden buttons.

What is the difference between a Crimson Button and a stone button?
Crimson Button is a wooden button, staying pressed longer than a stone button, and a fired arrow or thrown trident can also press Crimson Button.
Which mobs can press a Crimson Button?
