Description
The birch button is a small wooden control block made from birch planks that gives a pale wood look to builds. It is pressed to produce a short redstone pulse which is useful for opening doors triggering devices and making simple timed actions. Because the button is wooden it will respond to many entities and it can be used in decorative contexts to match birch doors planks and fences. Birch buttons are easy to craft and cheap to replace which makes them common in both early and late game builds. They are small and neat so they fit well into tight panels and around doorways where a subtle control is required. Use them in village and market builds to create natural looking controls and in redstone projects where a short pulse is needed without complicated wiring. Birch buttons are versatile and familiar to most players because their behaviour matches other wooden buttons while their appearance keeps the overall build coherent when birch wood is the main material.
