About the Birch Button

The Birch Button is a small redstone switch that sends a short pulse when pressed. You can place it on the side of a solid block from almost any angle, which makes it handy for doorbells, secret entrances, and other redstone controls.

Wooden buttons stay pressed for about 1.5 seconds, a bit longer than stone buttons. They also have a useful quirk: an arrow can trigger them from a distance, so you do not always need to stand next to the button to use it.

How to get the Birch Button

You craft a Birch Button from one birch plank. Start with birch logs from a birch tree, turn them into birch planks, then place a single plank in a crafting grid and you get a button. There is no chest loot or villager trade for this button, so crafting is the normal way to get one.
