Minecraft Forums I’m trying to make a water-activated pressure-plate piston machine, but apparently water doesn’t push a pressure plate. Any alternatives (besides just making a switch for the pistons?) The water could knock a torch off of the wall onto the (wooden) pressure plate.
Can mobs trigger pressure plates?
A stone pressure plate is activated only by mobs (including players), while a wooden pressure plate or a weighted pressure plate is activated by all entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) besides snowballs.
How do you activate pressure plates in Terraria?
As long as the projectile passes through the tile containing the pressure plate, it will activate.
Whats the difference between a pressure plate and a weighted pressure plate?
The weighted pressure plate is an item that can be made out of either iron ingots or gold ingots and is crafted in the exact same way a normal Pressure plate is made. But the difference is that the amount of blocks on top of the plate determines the amount of redstone current is produced.
What happens when you step on a pressure plate?
That way every time a player walks into the tall grass and steps there, a mob will spawn. Specifically a wolf or silverfish to represent poochyena and wurmple respectively. The problem is that these mobs can also trigger the pressure plate. I spawned a wolf, left it alone, it eventually stepped on the plate and spawned another one.
Do you have to shoot a pressure plate?
The Dangersense buff will highlight pressure plates. Teal Pressure Pads do not have to be shot for them to activate. As long as the projectile passes through the tile containing the pressure plate, it will activate. Golf Balls count as projectiles for purposes of triggering Teal Pressure Pads.
How does a pressure plate work in Minecraft?
A stone pressure plate is activated only by mobs (including players), while a wooden pressure plate or a weighted pressure plate is activated by all entities (including players, mobs, items, arrows, experience orbs, fishing bobs, etc.) besides snowballs.
How many times can a pressure plate be reset?
Resetting: Resetting Pressure Plates can be reused as many times as you want. They disengage 99 ticks after their trigger is removed. Pressing (w) sets whether or not the Weight of Water will trigger the Pressure Plate. Press (a or s) to set the minimum water depth and (z or x) to trigger the maximum water depth.
