Description
A Cherry Pressure Plate is a small flat trigger plate made from cherry wood that activates when a player or mob steps on it. It is ideal for hands free doors automatic lighting and simple redstone circuits where a short signal is needed. The cherry wood finish makes it a natural match for Cherry Doors and Cherry Planks so you can have consistent design while adding functional elements like automatic entries and traps. Pressure plates are easy to craft and to install and they are commonly used in hallways on farms and near entrances to trigger gates and to operate devices. Because they detect weight based triggers you can use them to build simple alarm systems or to operate decorative mechanisms without wiring. The Cherry Pressure Plate is especially useful in areas where you want a wooden themed solution and where you prefer not to use visible buttons or levers that might spoil the look of a polished doorway.
