Description

Pale Oak Button is a small wooden redstone input made from pale oak, the pale wood added with the Pale Garden biome in Minecraft 1.21.4. Craft it from a single pale oak plank in a crafting table to get one button. When you press it, the button sends out a redstone pulse, and because it is wooden it stays active for 1.5 seconds (30 game ticks) before resetting. Unlike a stone button, a wooden one can also be triggered by an arrow or other projectile, so you can fire at it to open doors from a distance. Place a button on floors, walls, or ceilings to control doors, lamps, pistons, and dispensers. The button is flammable, breaks instantly, and works in both Java 1.21.4 and Bedrock Edition.
