A '''polished blackstone pressure plate''' is a polished blackstone variant of the [[pressure plate]] that can detect only [[player]]s and [[mob]]s.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
A polished blackstone pressure plate can be mined with anything, but [[pickaxe]]s are the fastest. A polished blackstone pressure plate also breaks and drops itself if a [[piston]] extends or pushes a block into its location, or if the block under the pressure plate is moved or destroyed.

== Usage ==
{{see also|Pressure Plate#Usage}}A polished blackstone pressure plate has equivalent functionality as a [[Stone Pressure Plate|stone pressure plate]], except for the lack of functionality as a crafting ingredient.

=== Placement ===
{{main|Pressure Plate#Placement}}
A polished blackstone pressure plate can only be placed on the top of other blocks with either a full solid block face, a solid center, or a solid rim.

=== Redstone component ===
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
A polished blackstone pressure plate can be used to detect entities on top of it ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, and [[armor stand]]s).

==== Activation ====
{{main|Pressure Plate#Activation}}
A polished blackstone pressure plate is activated only by players, mobs, and armor stands, unlike [[wooden pressure plate]]s.

Once activated, a pressure plate checks if entities are still present at regular intervals. Polished blackstone pressure plates check every 10 redstone ticks, starting 10 redstone ticks after activation, so they deactivate up to 10 redstone ticks (20 game ticks or 1 second, barring lag) after no entities are on top of them.

Polished blackstone pressure plates are activated by minecarts only if the minecart contains a mob or player.

=== Behavior ===
For polished blackstone pressure plates, the [[Redstone circuits#Power level|power level]] is always 15. 

=== Note blocks ===
Polished blackstone pressure plates can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass drum" sounds.

== Trivia ==
* "Polished Blackstone Pressure Plate" is the current longest name for a block tied with "[[Cracked Polished Blackstone Bricks]]" (34 characters with spaces, 31 without)
** It briefly lost its place between [[Java Edition 1.17]] snapshots [[20w45a]] and [[21w05a]], where it was surpassed by variants of the copper block:
*** [[Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Stairs]] (41 characters with spaces, 36 without in first place)
*** [[Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Slab]] (39 characters with spaces, 34 without in second place)
*** [[Waxed Semi-Weathered Cut Copper Stairs]] (38 characters with spaces, 34 without in third place)
*** [[Waxed Semi-Weathered Cut Copper Slab]] (36 characters with spaces, 32 without in fourth place)
** The record holders in the ''[[Minecraft Education]]'' are "[[Hardened Light Blue Stained Glass Pane]]" and "[[Hardened Light Gray Stained Glass Pane]]" (both at 38 with spaces, 33 without).
