Description
The bamboo button is a small wooden button made from bamboo that fits into redstone systems and decorative builds. It shares the look and tone of bamboo wood which makes it ideal for matching bamboo planks and other bamboo items in a build. The button provides a short redstone pulse when pressed which is useful for opening doors triggering simple traps or activating machines for a brief moment. Because the button is made of wood it responds to many entities and can be part of light weight redstone designs where the natural material look matters. The bamboo button is attractive in market stalls and tree house projects where players want details that match a bamboo theme. It is easy to craft from bamboo planks and cheap to replace which means it is good for early and late game construction. You can place it on the face of a block and it works just like other wooden buttons in the game which makes it familiar to players. For builders who prefer a natural aesthetic the bamboo button gives a subtle control point that blends into the shape and colour of bamboo themed furniture and architecture.
