Obtaining

Breaking

A polished blackstone pressure plate can be mined with anything, but pickaxes are the fastest. A polished blackstone 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.
