Where to Find Lever in Minecraft

A simple redstone switch that outputs a constant redstone signal when flipped on, and no signal when off.

Overview

Lever is a redstone component in the Redstone category of Minecraft, and in this guide we cover exactly where to find it and the fastest way to get one. The short answer: to get Lever you craft it from 1 Stick and 1 Cobblestone, in All Overworld biomes (crafting). Finding Lever is rated very easy (1/5): it is one of the first things a new survival world can supply, needing no special gear or travel. Practically speaking you will not be searching distant biomes for Lever: it is a craft at a Crafting Table, so this guide focuses on lining up its ingredients and the best moment to make one.

Where to Find Lever

Lever is associated with All Overworld biomes (crafting). Toggles a constant redstone signal on/off. Can be placed on floors, walls, and ceilings. Lever does not spawn naturally in the world or generate in chests as standard loot — it is something you make at a Crafting Table, so the practical question is where to gather its ingredients rather than where to find the finished item.

Best Way to Get Lever

The most reliable way to get Lever is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Stick and Cobblestone, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Before you can craft it, gather the ingredients: Stick (crafted from two planks) and Cobblestone (mine stone with any pickaxe). The simplest manual redstone input device. It stacks to 64, so a single mining or crafting session can comfortably bank a chest's worth for later projects. Lever has been in the game since the original 1.0 release, so it behaves the same on every up-to-date world and server. Once you have Lever, it earns its place in the kind of automated farms, hidden doors, and timing circuits that redstone makes possible, so it is worth keeping a few crafted and ready in your storage.
