HEAVY WEIGHTED PRESSURE PLATE
An iron pressure plate that outputs signal strength based on the number of entities on it. Every 10 entities adds 1 signal strength, up to 15. Used for entity counting.
Crafting Recipe
2 Iron Ingots → 1 Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate
Signal Behavior
Input
Entities standing on it
Output
Signal strength = ceil(entity count / 10), max 15
Max Signal Strength
15
Delay
5 redstone ticks after all entities removed
Modes
- Analog signal based on entity count
Common Uses
- ▸Entity counting
- ▸Mob farm density detection
- ▸Analog signal generation
- ▸Crowd-based mechanisms
Common Mistakes
- !Confusing with light weighted plate (gold)
- !Requires many entities for high signal
