A pressure plate is placed on top of a full, solid block. It drops as an item when that block goes.

A wooden pressure plate burns in a furnace for 300 ticks (15 seconds), long enough to smelt 1.5 items.
Behaviour
Power
| Plate | Pressed by |
|---|---|
| Stone | players and mobs |
| Wooden | any entity, including dropped items, arrows, minecarts and boats |
While pressed, a pressure plate powers every block beside it, and strongly powers the block beneath it. It checks every 20 ticks (1 second) whether anything is still on it, and releases at the first check that finds nothing. A random tick can release it sooner.
