Description

Stone Button is crafted from one stone and outputs a short redstone pulse when pressed. Compared with wooden buttons, it has a quicker timing and is not triggered by arrows, which makes it useful for doors, dispensers, note blocks, hidden entrances, reset lines, and compact control panels. The small size also blends into stone walls better than levers or pressure plates.\n\nBuilders use the block as both a redstone component and a tiny decorative knob. It can suggest rivets, handles, wall studs, machine screws, cabinet pulls, or elevator controls. Because stone is cheap after a furnace is available, buttons are easy to mass-produce for puzzle rooms, farms, laboratories, and adventure maps.
