A light weighted pressure plate is a type of pressure plate that produces a redstone signal while one or more entities stand on it. Depending on how many entities are detected, the outputted signal strength will range from 1 to 15.

Obtaining

Breaking

A light weighted pressure plate can be mined with anything, but pickaxes are the fastest. A light weighted pressure plate also breaks and drops itself if a piston extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the pressure plate is moved or destroyed.

Usage

Activation

Light weighted pressure plates can be activated by most entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) and emit a redstone signal strength that is equal to the amount of entities on top of them, up to a maximum power level of 15. Certain entities, however (such as players in spectator mode and markers), cannot activate them nor keep them activated.

In Java Edition, item frames and glow item frames cannot activate light weighted pressure plates but they can still keep them activated.^[1]

The signal strength from a light weighted pressure plate does not vary with the type of entity. 15 mobs will produce the same signal strength as 15 different items. Note the light weighted pressure plate counts entities, not the quantity of items, generally leading to one entity count per stack of items. For more information see item entity behavior.

Distracting piglins

Piglins are attracted towards light weighted pressure plates, run toward any light weighted pressure plates on the ground, and inspect them for 6 to 8 seconds before putting them in their inventory slot. During this time, the piglin does not attack nearby players, even if they are not wearing gold armor.

History

Java Edition

Java Edition
1.5			13w01a				Added light weighted pressure plates.
							The model of light weighted pressure plates in item form is different.
1.7.2			13w36a				All entities are now allowed to trigger light weighted pressure plates.
							Light weighted pressure plates have been repurposed: rather than outputting based on the amount of and the stack size of item entities, their output now depends on the amount of entities (including non-item entities) on top of them. As a result, the stack size of item entities is now ignored: for example, dropping a stick item and a dirt item on top of a light weighted pressure plate now results in a higher output signal compared to dropping a full stack of sand on it (previously, the opposite would've been the case). The original signal strength values per amount of items are listed below: Light weighted pressure plate 0: 0 items 1: 1–4 items 2: 5–8 items 3: 9–12 items 4: 13–16 items 5: 17–20 items 6: 21–24 items 7: 25–28 items 8: 29–32 items 9: 33–36 items 10: 37–40 items 11: 41–44 items 12: 45–48 items 13: 49–52 items 14: 53–56 items 15: 57+ items
