About the Lever

A lever is a simple redstone switch. Place it on a block, right-click it, and it flips between an off and on state, sending a full-strength redstone signal while it is on. Unlike a button, a lever stays in whichever state you leave it, so it is handy for lights, doors, pistons, and anything else you want to keep switched on or off.

Levers can be placed on floors, walls, and ceilings. They have no collision, so they do not block movement. When switched on, a lever also powers the block it is attached to, which lets it activate nearby redstone dust and components.

How to get the Lever

You can craft a lever from one stick and one cobblestone, which makes it one of the easiest redstone components to build early in the game. You may also find levers already placed in jungle temple puzzle rooms, but crafting is the reliable way to get them.
