What is Polished Blackstone Button in Minecraft?
A polished blackstone button is a type of button made from smooth, dark polished blackstone. It has a sleek, dark gray color that makes it look modern and sophisticated. The main purpose of a polished blackstone button is to act as a switch that creates a temporary redstone signal. When you press it, it sends out a short pulse of power to any redstone dust or components connected to it. Players use buttons to activate all sorts of things, like doors, pistons, and note blocks. Because of its clean, dark color, the polished blackstone button is also a great decorative block, perfect for modern or castle themed builds.
How to get Polished Blackstone Button in Minecraft
You can only get a polished blackstone button by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe is extremely simple. All you need is one polished blackstone block. To get polished blackstone, you first need to find regular blackstone in the Nether, in biomes like basalt deltas or in bastion remnants. Then, you can craft four blackstone into four polished blackstone. After you have at least one polished blackstone block, simply place it in a single slot in your inventory crafting grid or a crafting table. This will give you one polished blackstone button. You can also use a stonecutter to turn one blackstone block into one button.
How to use Polished Blackstone Button in Minecraft
The main use for a polished blackstone button is to activate redstone devices. You can place it on the side, top, or bottom of most solid blocks. When you right click the button, it will stay pressed for a longer time than a wooden button (1.5 seconds) and send out a redstone signal. This is perfect for opening a door or activating a piston. Unlike a wooden button, a polished blackstone button cannot be activated by shooting it with an arrow. This makes it a more secure option if you do not want your contraptions to be triggered by accident. Besides its redstone use, the polished blackstone button is a nice little decorative block. You can place it on a wall to look like a modern switch or just to add a small bit of detail to your build.
