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 .
