Redstone

Are you ready to get fully wired up to Redstone?

Hey guys ! Today I will be writing about Redstone and it's essentials .

Redstone ore :

          Redstone ore is the raw block from which you get about 4 - 5 pieces of Redstone dust . It can only be mined with a iron , gold or diamond pickaxe . Redstone ores are found deep underground , within 1 - 16 blocks from the bedrock layer. If you are going to mine for it , please remember the Important Rule of Minecraft ; never dig straight down as this can prevent you from dying .

Tip :

          To get a maximum amount of Redstone dust from a Redstone ore , you can use a *enchanted fortune pickaxe. This way , a single block of Redstone ore will be able to drop up to 8 pieces of Redstone dust.

Power sources :

          In a circuit , Redstone dust acts like a wire . To make it work , it will need a power source . They are Redstone torches , levers , detector rails (they only send a signal if a Minecart rides over it ) , Redstone blocks , Pressure plates , trapped chests , buttons , tripwire hooks ( only sends a signal when something touches it ) and daylight sensors .

*To  make an enchantment of any kind , you will need to craft a enchantment table first . The recipe is : one book , two diamonds and four blocks of obsidian .

Swords

Hi guys! So sorry that this week's post is so late .Today , I will be writing about something that I hope you are interested about ; swords ! If you are new to the game , fighting mobs will probably be very scary, but as the saying goes ; practice makes perfect , and you need a sword to fight , so lets get started !

Tip:

Once in the world, you should immediately start crafting tools , but the most important tool to be crafted is a sword if your difficulty is on, as it gets very dangerous with mobs.

Sword damage :

The amount of damage a sword does depends on the material it's made of . A wooden sword does the least damage whereas a diamond sword does the most.( A golden sword does the some damage as a wooden sword , so it makes sense why most people do not waste their gold on crafting golden swords . 

A wooden sword does :                  2 and a half hearts damage
A stone sword does :                       3 hearts damage
An iron sword does :                       7 hearts damage
A golden sword does :                     2 and a half hearts damage
A diamond sword does :                  8 hearts damage

A sword's durability : 

Each weapon has a limit of uses called durability . The sword which has the most durability is the diamond sword . Once you have used a weapon the maximum number of times, it breaks and disappears.

A wooden sword can last :                    60 uses    
                                                                 

A stone sword can last :                      132 uses                                                                                  
A iron sword can last :                        251 uses                                                                                    
A golden sword can last :                      33 uses                                                                                
A diamond sword can last :               1563 uses                                                                      

Hope that was useful !
