Description
The mangrove button is a small wooden control piece made from mangrove wood that players use to trigger doors, redstone devices and simple mechanisms. It looks like a rounded wooden button that sits on a wall or on a block face and it blends well with builds that use mangrove wood for a natural rustic look. The button is pressable and when used it provides a short temporary signal which is perfect for simple switches, for visitor entryways and for decorative controls that do not need a long term on state. Mangrove wood has a slightly dark warm tone which makes the button a tasteful match for coastal and swamp themed builds. The button is simple to craft and easy to place and it is one of the small details that makes a build feel finished. Because it is wooden it is also affected by fire if placed carelessly near open flames so position it appropriately. The button will send a redstone pulse when activated and that pulse can be used directly or extended using repeaters and comparators to form more advanced circuits. Players often use buttons on the exterior of doors to keep access neat and to avoid standing on pressure plates that can be triggered by mobs. The mangrove button fits well with other mangrove items such as doors, fences and signs so it helps keep a consistent aesthetic when building a mangrove house or a riverside jetty. It is a low cost control option and it is also handy for parkour style maps where timed presses are needed. The block is a small but useful addition to the game and it makes mangrove themed builds more complete and easier to manage.
What is Mangrove Button?
A mangrove button is a small wooden switch made from mangrove wood that gives a short pulse to connected mechanisms when pressed. It is used as a simple control device to open doors or to trigger redstone devices for a brief time. Players prefer buttons when they want a one time action rather than a continuous signal and when they want the control to be discrete and low profile. The wooden material makes it blend with mangrove themed builds and it works the same way as other wooden buttons in terms of mechanics.
Where to find Mangrove Button
Mangrove buttons are not found lying around in the wild. They are player made items which you craft and place wherever you need a small button for a door or a device. You will see them most often in player builds near entryways, in small cottages and on docks where the mangrove wood looks natural. In creative mode you can pick them directly from the inventory and place them instantly.
How to get Mangrove Button
To get a mangrove button collect mangrove wood planks and craft the button at a crafting table using the appropriate recipe. Mangrove wood is from mangrove trees which grow near swamps and mangrove wetlands. Once you have planks you can craft buttons in bulk and place them where you need controls. If you need to move a button pick it up and place it again as needed.

How to use Mangrove Button
Place the mangrove button on the side of a block near doors, gates or redstone circuits. Press the button to generate a short redstone pulse. Use repeaters and comparators to lengthen or condition the signal if you need longer or more complex behaviour. Buttons are useful for parkour maps, for clean looking door controls and for places where you want a brief action rather than a permanent signal.
