FAQ
What tool do I need to mine a Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate?
No tool is required; any tool or bare hands can break it, though a pickaxe is fastest.
How is a Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate different from the Light one?
The heavy plate is made of iron and needs 10 entities per signal level (up to 141+ for full signal 15), while the light plate is made of gold and only needs 1 entity for full signal.
Can Item Frames trigger a Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate?
No. Item frames and glow item frames cannot activate the plate, though they will keep it active if already triggered.
Does Silk Touch affect the drop?
No. The plate always drops itself when mined, regardless of tool or enchantments.
