Description
The mangrove pressure plate is a thin plate made from mangrove planks that players place on the ground to detect when entities or items pass over it. It is useful for door triggers, for automatic lighting and for traps and redstone based logic systems. The plate sits flush with the floor so it is unobtrusive and it blends well with mangrove themed floors and docks. When a player or a mob steps on the plate it emits a redstone signal that can be used to open doors, to activate pistons and to trigger alarms. Because it is wooden it also responds to items and to mobs and it will activate with less weight than heavy weighted plates. The mangrove pressure plate is a good choice when you want a natural look on a pathway or inside a house without adding visible wiring. It is also useful in adventure maps where doors should open when players walk by and when you want a subtle trigger that matches the surrounding wood. As a wooden plate it can be broken and replaced easily and it is cheap to craft using mangrove planks which are renewable fuel once trees are planted back. Use pressure plates carefully to avoid accidental triggers by mobs and to maintain privacy where needed.
What is Mangrove Pressure Plate?
A mangrove pressure plate is a floor mounted switch made from mangrove planks that activates a redstone signal when something stands on it or when items are placed on it. It acts as a simple sensor for doors and redstone systems and is part of the mangrove wood family of craftable items.
Where to find Mangrove Pressure Plate
Mangrove pressure plates do not occur naturally. They are crafted by players and placed in builds where detection is needed. Look for them on docks, in huts and in entryways where players want an automatic opening mechanism that blends with mangrove wood flooring. In creative mode they are available directly in the inventory.
How to get Mangrove Pressure Plate
Craft a pressure plate using two mangrove planks placed in the crafting grid. Once crafted place the plate on the ground and connect redstone or attach the plate to a door to trigger actions. To reuse the plate simply break it and pick it up as an item and place it elsewhere.

How to use Mangrove Pressure Plate
Place the mangrove pressure plate on a floor where you want automatic activation of doors, lights or traps. Step on the plate to test the signal and connect it to redstone wiring if you need extended behaviour. To avoid accidental activation by mobs place pressure plates inside fenced areas or use alternative triggers for sensitive systems. The plate is useful for hides, shops and for automatic gates on docks.
