How to Make a Button in Minecraft

Crafting Buttons

Place the wood or stone into the crafting grid. Place it into the center slot. All other slots should be left empty.

Shift click or drag to place the button in your inventory.

Finding Buttons

Look for naturally formed stone buttons in strongholds. They are located next to iron doors. Mine with your pick and walk over it to collect.

Place the button on the side of a block. This is the only position that it can take on a block.

Ensure that the button is placed next to the object requiring the charge (for example, a door). If not, it will need a redstone wire to send a charge through.

Place the button on other items. A button can also be placed on the side of a furnace, chest, dispenser or workbench.
