Obtaining

In the world of Mine Blocks, you can find redstone in the form of redstone dust. This Red Dust can be obtained by mining Redstone Ore found deep underground. Breaking redstone ore with an iron pickaxe or better will give you redstone dust, which you can then use for your creations.

Usage

Redstone dust can be placed on top of solid blocks to transmit redstone signals. Activating a signal source, such as a Redstone Torch or a crowbar, will propagate energy through the redstone dust, activating connected devices along its path.

The redstone unleashes your creativity to create multiple complexity mechanisms. Some examples of what you can do include:

• Automatic doors that open and close when the player steps on a player pressure plate.
• Automatic farms for the collection of resources such as crops.
• Clever traps to protect your base from hostile mobs.
• Lighting mechanisms that are turned on and off by redstone signals.

Redstone Circuits

You can build complex circuits that activate and deactivate doors, hatches, pistons, lamps, dispensers, and many other devices. With a basic knowledge of logic and electronics, you can create cool mechanisms that do specific actions.
