- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools as wielded by players with no status effects, measured in seconds. For more information, see Breaking § Speed.
A button is removed and drops itself as an item if:
- its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
- water or lava flows into its space
- a piston tries to push it or moves a block into its space
Natural generation
Stone buttons are naturally generated in strongholds, next to iron doors.[JE only] Stone buttons also generate in desert armorer house attached to granite.
Jungle buttons generate naturally on house walls in desert villages.
Crafting
Buttons can be crafted from planks for a matching wood-type button, or stone for a stone button.

Usage
Redstone power
A button can be used as a monostable power source (it automatically deactivates shortly after being activated).
- Placement
- Buttons can be placed by using it on a surface.
- They can be attached to the side, bottom and top of any full opaque block.
- If placed on the top or bottom of a block, the button can face any direction.[Java Edition only]
- It can also be attached to the top of a fence in Bedrock Edition.
- More information about placement on transparent blocks can be found at Opacity/Placement.
- Activation
- Buttons are usually in an inactive state, but can be temporarily activated by players. A button can be activated by using it. A wooden button can also be activated by a fired arrow or a thrown trident if its collision box touched the button.
- Mobs cannot activate buttons directly, but arrows fired by skeletons or dispensers can activate wooden buttons.
- Behavior
- When activated, a wooden button remains active for 15 redstone ticks (1.5 seconds, barring lag), while a stone button remains active for 10 redstone ticks (1 second, barring lag). A wooden button activated by a fired arrow or a thrown trident remains active until the arrow or trident despawns (after one minute) or is picked up by a player.
- While active, a button:
- powers any adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, including beneath the button
- powers any adjacent redstone comparators or redstone repeaters facing away from the button to power level 15
- strongly powers its attachment block to power level 15
- activates any adjacent mechanism components, including above or below, such as pistons, redstone lamps, etc.
- When a button changes state it provides a redstone update to all redstone components adjacent to itself (including above and below), and to all redstone components adjacent to its attachment block.
Fuel
Wooden buttons can be used as a fuel source in furnaces, smelting 0.5 items per button.[Java Edition only]
