A stone button is a variant of the button, a non-solid block that produces a temporary redstone signal when pressed by a player or when hit by a wind charge.

Obtaining

Legend

• incorrect tool, drops nothing
• correct tool, drops nothing or something other than the block itself
• correct tool, drops the block itself
• italicized can be instant mined

A button is removed and drops as an item if:

• its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed.
• water or lava flows into its space.‌^{[Java Edition only]}
• a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space.

Natural generation

Stone buttons are naturally generated in strongholds, next to iron doors.‌^{[JE only]}

Stone buttons also generate in desert villages, in armorer houses attached to granite, as well as in trial chambers.

Usage

Placement

Buttons can be placed by using it on a surface.

They can be attached to the side, bottom and top of any full opaque block.

If placed on the top or bottom of a block, the button can face any direction.‌^{[Java Edition only]}

It can also be attached to the top of a fence in Bedrock Edition.

More information about placement on transparent blocks can be found at Opacity/Placement.

Redstone power

A button can be used as a monostable redstone power source (it automatically deactivates shortly after being activated).

Buttons are usually in an inactive state, but can be temporarily activated by players. A stone button is activated by a player using it or when hit by a wind charge. Mobs cannot activate buttons directly.

When activated, a stone button remains active for 1 second (10 redstone ticks; 20 game ticks).

While active, a button:

• powers any adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, including beneath the button
• powers any adjacent redstone comparators or redstone repeaters facing away from the button to power level 15
• strongly powers its attachment block to power level 15
• activates any adjacent mechanism components, including above or below, such as pistons, redstone lamps, etc.

When a button changes state it provides a redstone update to all redstone components adjacent to itself (including above and below), and to all redstone components adjacent to its attachment block.
