The pressure plate is an item that can be used to activate certain blocks and items. It outputs a redstone signal when activated. The most common use of a pressure plate is to open a door. There are currently four types of pressure plates. The first two are wooden and stone. The other two types are iron and gold.

Pressure Plates can be found across the world. Stone pressure plates can be found in desert pyramids and in ancient cities. Oak, Acacia, and Spruce variants can be found in some plains, savanna, and snowy tundra villages. You can find the Light Weighted Pressure Plate in loot chests found at ruined portals. To craft your own pressure plates you will need two blocks/ingots of the desired variant of the pressure plate.

Pressure plates can be used to detect entities on top of it as they make a noise and send out a redstone signal. A pressure plate activates when an entity is on top of it (specifically, when the entity's collision mask intersects the bottom quarter-block of the pressure plate's space, which may include entities flying close to the ground), with a minimum activation time of 1 second.
