What is an Acacia Button?
An acacia button is a small redstone component you can craft and place on blocks. You’ll use it to activate redstone devices like command blocks, open iron doors, or trigger other contraptions. It’s one of the simplest things to make, requiring just one plank.
How to Craft an Acacia Button
Materials Needed
You only need one thing:
- 1 Acacia Plank
That’s it. Go chop down an acacia tree, craft the wood into planks, and you’re ready.
Crafting Steps
1. Open your crafting table
Place down a crafting bench and open it. You’ll see a 3×3 crafting grid.
2. Place the acacia plank
Put one acacia plank in the top-left corner of the crafting grid. All other slots stay empty. The acacia button will appear in the output slot on the right.
3. Move it to your inventory
Click the acacia button in the output slot to add it to your inventory. Done.

Using Acacia Buttons
Place the button on any side of a block. When you click it, the button activates for a short moment and then deactivates automatically. This sends a redstone pulse to any redstone devices nearby, like pistons, doors, and command blocks.
You can place buttons on the side, top, or bottom of a block. They work on walls, floors, and ceilings depending on where you attach them.
