About the Polished Blackstone Pressure Plate

The Polished Blackstone Pressure Plate is a stone-type pressure plate that gives out a redstone signal when a player or mob stands on it. It is useful for doors, traps, and other redstone builds that should respond to living things.

Unlike wooden pressure plates, this one is not triggered by dropped items. It turns on while pressed and switches off again when the player or mob steps away. It gives a full-strength redstone signal when active.

How to get the Polished Blackstone Pressure Plate

You craft it from two polished blackstone placed side by side in a crafting grid. That gives you one pressure plate.

Polished blackstone comes from polishing blackstone found in the Nether, especially in basalt deltas and bastion remnants. The pressure plate itself is not found naturally, so crafting is the only way to get it.
