Maxim "Sensei Mori" Tomilov Buttons appeared in the cubic game in one of the earliest updates and have since become an indispensable element of almost any playthrough. They are easy to create, have a wide range of functionality, and are also used in complex mechanisms.
In this article, we'll tell you how to get a button in Minecraft and how to use it.
What is the button for?

It is an activator block that, when used, turns on or off a mechanism. More precisely, it emits a short signal that activates other blocks, such as pistons or doors.

The item is especially useful when used in redstone circuits to supply power. It can be placed on the surface of any opaque block, and the signal will be transmitted to the redstone dust placed both below and above it.

This is all the functionality. Despite its apparent simplicity, the application area of this item is vast: from simply opening doors to creating complex switching systems.

Making this thing is very simple. For the wooden version, you'll need one plank block of any wood. Place it on the crafting table or in the crafting window of your inventory as follows:

For the stone version, you'll need stone or blackstone. The placement in the crafting grid is the same:

Items can also be found in strongholds or desert villages. Breaking this block is easy: use an axe for the wooden version and a pickaxe for the stone ones.

Only players can activate stone and wooden variants. However, in the second case, the button can be pressed by throwing a trident at the block or shooting it with a bow. The thing will remain pressed for one minute, that is, until the trident or arrow disappears completely.

You can activate the block by pressing the action key (usually the right mouse button), and it will be activated for 1.5 seconds, after which it will turn off, and the signal will stop. Activation means:
- Increasing the power of any adjacent redstone dust, supplying energy.
- Activating repeaters and comparators placed next to and directed at the button.
- Activating the block on which the item is placed, as well as those above or below it. For example, a dispenser will shoot an item.
In addition, this item can be used as fuel in furnaces. However, this is an extremely inefficient use since it burns very quickly.
The button in Minecraft is a simple and excellent block for use in various circuits and constructions. Its short activation period makes it ideal for creating hidden doors or, for example, traps.
