A '''lever''' is a type of [[switches|switch]]. Levers, like the [[button]], [[Pressure Plate|pressure plate]], and [[redstone torch]], can be connected with [[redstone wire]] to be operated far away from the target block. Levers can be placed on any [[opacity|opaque]] block. Levers can be placed on walls, floors, and ceilings.

The '''Lever''' is a simple switch that can be connected to [[Redstone]] circuits to manually induce a current. Levers can be placed in any orientation on any opaque block. When activated by right clicking, the block the lever is attached to will output a signal to all connected redstone wire. Levers are different to [[Button]]s in that they are "stable" and will stay on until switched off.

Levers differ from buttons in that the charge they provide is stable - once clicked a lever will remain on or off until clicked again. Clicking a lever also causes a visual change as the shaft of the device moves from one side to the other. Their stable nature makes levers well suited to controlling devices that need to remain in one of two states for an indefinite period, such as minecart tracks or locking mechanisms in advanced circuits.

* The lever, along with wall mounted [[torch]]es, flowing [[lava]] and [[water]], sloped [[rail]]s, [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hook]], [[Spider]] legs, [[Snow Golem]] arms, and [[Villager]] arms are the only surfaces in ''Minecraft'' that are not either parallel or perpendicular to the ground.

*Levers will also induce indirect [[Redstone]] power to nearby blocks without the need for Redstone Dust, similar to [[Redstone Torch]]es. This can be useful for activating [[Powered Rail]]s or [[Rail]] corner junctions.
* The rotation of levers placed on the top or bottom of blocks is decided randomly and not influenced by the rotation of the player.
 
* Anything powered by a single redstone torch, such as a [[Powered Rail|powered rail]] block, can be powered instead with a lever. This is useful if you are low on redstone, as the materials needed for crafting levers are much more common, and renewable. This also allows easily turning the current off if need be.
 
* Levers can be used to provide quick, if imprecise, pulses of redstone charge, by quickly flicking them on and off. This compares to [[button]]s, which have a built-in delay.
 
* Levers cannot be placed on [[Snow (cover)|snow]], [[ice]], or [[glowstone]].

The Lever is a simple switch that can be connected to Redstone circuits to manually induce a current. Levers can be placed in any orientation on any opaque block. When activated by right clicking, the block the lever is attached to will output a signal to all connected redstone wire. Levers are different to Buttons in that they are "stable" and will stay on until switched off.

When placed on the side of blocks, up is off and down is on. On the top or bottom of blocks, on is south or west, off is north or east. Mobs cannot turn on a lever, or turn it off.
