# Long-standing Dio's Plates
# About the Dio's Pressure Plates Modification
Dio's Pressure Plates is a utility mod that significantly expands the functionality of standard pressure plates in Minecraft. This development draws inspiration from the popular ObsidiPlates modification created by Myrathi.
## New Features
The mod adds 21 unique pressure plates to the game, each with special functionality and activation conditions.
### Obsidian Plates
These durable plates are activated only when the player themselves steps on them, providing personalized control over various mechanisms.
### Mossy Cobblestone Plates
Specially configured plates that respond only to living entities, excluding the player. Perfect for creating automatic mob detection systems.
### Nether Plates
These plates trigger only when hostile creatures appear, providing a reliable early warning system for approaching danger.
### Dirt Plates
Set up to detect peaceful creatures, these plates are excellent for automating farms and other systems related to friendly mobs.
### Silent Plate Versions
Include silent variations of light and heavy weighted plates that perform their functions completely silently - ideal for hidden mechanisms and quiet locations.
