Stone Button at a glance

Stone Button, a redstone component out of crafting, sits under Redstone. A slot of Stone Button holds 64, nine slots hold 576, and 1728 fill a chest.

Stone Button earns its place in redstone by what it does to a signal, and that behaviour is the building block under the farms, doors and machines that run without a player standing there. It is a 0.5-hardness block. Its blast resistance repeats that 0.5, so Stone Button offers no shelter. Use a pickaxe on Stone Button to speed it up; no particular tier is required. It sits between Sticky Piston and Stone Pressure Plate in Redstone, number 25 of 29 there.

    How long does Stone Button take to break?

Building with it

One stone makes a button that sends a short pulse and resets itself, one tick shorter than the wooden version. Buttons are the cheapest trigger in the game, and a stone one blends into a stone wall well enough to hide a door.

In practice

A stone button sends a pulse of one second, while the wooden one lasts one and a half. That difference matters for anything timed, and it is the reason a door circuit built with the wrong button closes just too quickly to walk through.
