Quick Answer: Crafting a Pressure Plate
To make a pressure plate in Minecraft, you’ll need two planks of wood or two stones. Place them side by side in your crafting table, and voila, you’ve got yourself a pressure plate!
Wooden pressure plates activate when any item, including dropped items, mobs, or players, step on them. Stone pressure plates, however, only respond to mobs and players, making them slightly more selective. Choose the type based on your needs in the game.
