Description
A Crimson Button is a small interactive bit of hardware made from crimson wood that provides a neat way to trigger doors lights and redstone circuits in nether themed builds. The button matches the crimson wood palette and looks natural on crimson planks and logs so you can create coherent control panels and decorative switches that do not break the look of your project. Buttons are a great choice when you want a momentary action such as opening a small door or activating a hidden compartment and the crimson variant keeps the visual style consistent in nether bases and in themed markets. Because it is crafted from crimson material it fits naturally into build schemes that use warped and crimson wood types and it provides a tactile interface for players to operate mechanisms. Build placement is important because the button triggers for a short time and therefore suits doors and timed mechanisms where momentary activation is useful. Use crimson buttons on door frames and near control stations where players expect a small easy to use switch.
What is Crimson Button?
A Crimson Button is a small momentary switch that powers redstone when pressed and that is made from crimson wood to match nether styled builds. It is used for short term activation of doors lights and mechanisms where a timed signal is required.
Where to find Crimson Button
