The Dark Oak Pressure Plate is a Redstone component that activates when a player, mob, or item is placed on it. It functions identically to other wooden pressure plates but is made from dark oak planks. A Dark Oak Pressure Plate is crafted using 2 Dark Oak Planks in a 2×2 crafting grid. It does not generate naturally and must be crafted by the player.
When placed, a Dark Oak Pressure Plate sends a Redstone signal while a player, mob, or dropped item is on it. The signal stops when the object is removed. Unlike a Stone Pressure Plate, a Dark Oak Pressure Plate can be activated by items, arrows, or projectiles, which suits item-based Redstone mechanisms and traps.
A Dark Oak Pressure Plate can be broken instantly by hand or with any tool. Unlike a Weighted Pressure Plate, it always emits a full Redstone signal when activated, which suits simple Redstone triggers and automatic doors.
