golden pressure plate

Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Working as Intended.

Some pressure plates, like gold and iron pressure plates, have special behaviours. As they can count the entities on top of the pressure plate and increase the redstone output according to the number of entities above the pressure plate. See

as an example how to use these pressure plates.
