Description
This is a simple acacia wood button used in the game to send a short redstone pulse when pressed. It is made from acacia wood and matches the look of acacia planks so it fits neatly into builds that use acacia furniture and flooring. The button sits on a block face and does not occupy a full block which makes it ideal for neat compact builds and small control panels. When you press the button the block changes its state for a short time and then returns to the unpressed state. This makes it easy to make simple doors and traps that only need a brief trigger. Because it is made of wood the button can catch fire and can be broken by hand though using an axe will break it faster. The texture and colour match other acacia wood items so builders use it where they want the same warm orange brown tone. It is a low profile piece of redstone hardware that is great where you want a natural look rather than metal. The button works in both survival and creative and can be placed on the side top or bottom of blocks. For players who want simple redstone without complicated circuitry the button is a friendly option. It is also handy for maps where timing is needed because the pulse length is predictable. The item is common and easy to incorporate into decorative and functional builds so it is popular with new players and experts alike.
What is Acacia Button?
The acacia button is a small and simple wooden button that you press to send a short redstone pulse. It is made from acacia planks so it has a warm orange wood tone that fits savanna style builds. The button attaches to the face of a block and when pressed it changes state for a few seconds before returning to its original position. It is part of the redstone system and is one of the easiest ways to make a timed signal for doors lights or simple traps. As a wooden item it can be lit by fire so it has different interactions than a stone button but it is still easy to use and very reliable. The acacia button is suitable for quick controls and for players who prefer building without complex mechanisms.
Where to find Acacia Button
The acacia button does not naturally generate in the world as an item on its own. Instead you will find the material it is made from in certain biomes where acacia trees grow. Those trees are most commonly found in the savanna family of biomes. If you explore those biomes you will collect acacia logs and turn them into planks which then craft into buttons. The button itself is crafted by players so you will see it mainly in player builds in villages player houses and market stalls in creative or survival mode. Villages in acacia areas will often use acacia wood for doors and fences and players often match buttons to that look.
How to get Acacia Button
To get an acacia button start by finding an acacia tree in a savanna biome. Use any tool to chop the tree and collect acacia logs. Place the logs in your crafting area and convert them into acacia planks. From the planks you craft sticks and buttons. The recipe for a wooden button uses one plank placed anywhere in the small crafting grid to yield one button. In creative mode you can also take the acacia button directly from the inventory menu. If you need many buttons use a crafting table and convert a few planks into multiple buttons quickly.

How to use Acacia Button
Place the acacia button on the side top or bottom face of a block. When a player or an entity activates the button by clicking it it will emit a short redstone signal. Use that signal to power redstone dust levers repeaters doors pistons or other redstone devices. Because the signal is short you can use the button for timed doors single pulse traps or as a simple input for circuits where you want one short activation per press. If you need a longer signal you can combine the button with repeaters or use simple circuits that stretch the pulse length. The acacia button is also a decorative choice so match it with acacia planks to keep a consistent look.
