In Terraria, the things people usually mean by “buttons” are called switches , levers , and pressure plates. A button-like input in wiring is generally a switch or lever , since Terraria wiring works by sending short pulses rather than staying on continuously.
Common names
- Lever : Flips and sends a pulse when activated.
- Switch : Another common wiring input that triggers once when used.
- Pressure plate : Activates when something steps on it, so it acts like a floor button.
In plain words
Terraria does not really use Minecraft-style “buttons” as a main wiring term, because its circuit system is pulse-based. That is why levers and switches are the closest match to what most players call a button.
If you meant controls
If you meant the buttons on your controller or screen, those are just the game’s controls or action buttons , such as Use/Attack, Interact, Jump, and Inventory.
TL;DR: In Terraria wiring, the closest thing to “buttons” is usually switches or levers ; for floor-activated buttons, it’s a pressure plate.
