How it works

Stand on the plate: it powers the dust while you are there and lets go 20 ticks after you step off.

  1. Standing on the plate activates its output.
  2. After the player leaves, the plate checks again on its scheduled cadence before releasing.

Blocks you need

Build it in the game: 4 commands

Relative to where you stand, with x running east and z running south. Paste one line at a time into chat, or into a chain of command blocks. The block art is the game's own; the layout is what the page above shows.
