[view] • A Possible amount of 4-5 Redstone is dropped when a block of Redstone Ore is destroyed with an Iron Pickaxe or better pickaxe. This can be placed on the ground to make Redstone Wire. Redstone can also be crafted into a Redstone Torch, a Block of Redstone (as of 1.5) and/or a Redstone Repeater. Redstone also can be used in traps or mechanisms involving Redstone circuits. When redstone interacts with any liquid, it will be destroyed. Redstone can only be placed on solid blocks, excluding Glowstone and top placed half Slabs of any kind. When redstone gets ignited, it will last 15 blocks before going to it's off state. This can be prevented by placing a repeater and continuing the redstone circuit however will make the output 1-4 ticks longer. A Redstone Comparator (see page for details) creates a instant redstone singal when placed in a line (all facing the same way) unlike repeaters (listed above). The toggle switch must be off for this to happen.

Used as Energy for mechanismsEdit
