How to get a button?


You can either break naturally generated buttons in a stronghold or you can craft them. The wooden ones are easily broken with any sort of ax but a pickaxe is required to break a stone button. They are also naturally generated in village huts in the desert biome. Crafting a button is easy, you will just need a wooden plank of any wood type, or a stone block, or Blackstone.

What is the use of a button?


A button can be used as a monostable power source. They provide a temporary redstone signal that cuts off after a short time. They can be placed on any surface and on the side, top, and bottom of any fully opaque block.


They are usually in an inactive state but can be temporarily activated by players by using it (right-clicking it). Upon activation, the button will remain active for 1.5 seconds and provide redstone power for that duration. After 1.5 seconds it will return to its inactive state. While the button is active, it will:


  1. power any adjacent redstone dust up to power level 15, including any dust beneath the button.
  2. Power any redstone comparator or repeaters that are facing away from the button.
  3. It will strongly power the block it is attached to.
  4. Activate any adjacent mechanism components such as doors, pistons, etc.


Conclusion


Buttons are a great way for redstone circuits that are only required to be active for a short amount of time such as automatic doors or piston doors. They aren't widely used since the duration of their activated state is really short.


FAQs


Q. Can buttons be used as fuel?


A. Yes, buttons can be burned in furnaces.


Q. Can arrows activate a button?


A. If a button is precisely shot by an arrow or a thrown trident, it will activate.


Q. How to make a button in Minecraft?


A. To make a button you will need just to place a wood plank or stone block in the crafting grid.
