The only time a minecart doesn’t stop on a pressure plate is when the cart is moving at high speed — usually, through a powered rail.

To craft a pressure plate, place 2 pieces of either wood planks or stone in a horizontal row. In Figure 4-18, you see a wood pressure plate in the making.

Upgrading to weighted pressure plates

This variation on pressure plates comes in light and heavy. Light pressure plates, made from gold, emit a signal equal only to the number of entities on it; so if a block is 4 spaces away and connected via wiring, 4 entities (blocks) would need to be dropped onto a light pressure plate to activate the block.

A heavy pressure plate made from iron requires 10 blocks for each level of activation. In the example, 41 blocks would need to be dropped or thrown.

Heavy pressure plates are used to activate secret doors or chests. Light pressure plates are common to activate mechanisms that you want to control and not leave up to chance by being triggered from a passing mob (like a cow wandering onto the plate).

To craft a light or heavy pressure plate, place two gold ingots for light, or two iron ingots for heavy, in a horizontal row on the crafting grid (see Figure 4-19).
