What is and how to find the Redstone

Redstone is a reddish material that is used to make mechanisms and potions especially . Here we are not going to delve into the latter, but we are going to explain both how to find it and what things can be manufactured with an element derived from its block. And is that, in general, what you will find are blocks of Redstone ore that you will have to go through the furnace to get the Redstone Dust. The latter is the real key, the one most used to make all kinds of special objects.


There are many ways to get this material , and then we will explain the best ones. But not before also pointing out that, if you place Redstone on the ground, you will automatically be able to manufacture Redstone circuits that take advantage of the unique character of this element. It acts as a conductor that can carry the thermal load of the fire, or the electricity of a switch to do anything you can think of. It is quite a time bomb for the most creative.


How to get Redstone Powder or Red Stone

There are different ways to get Red Stone Dust or Redstone Dust by playing Minecraft . The most comfortable and simple is exploring mines, caves and subways . By doing that, you will find Redstone ores that you can only mince with an iron, gold, or diamond pickaxe. Using this tool you will obtain the Redstone Ore that, later, you will have to take to the smelting furnace to get the Redstone Powder :

  • Redstone Dust - 1x Redstone Ore + Any Fuel

It is a good way, but not the only one. You can also get more of this powder by exploring chests found in certain locations. If you're going to hunt for chests, take a look at the ones that appear in Villages, Forest Mansions, Dungeons, Abandoned Mines, and Fortresses . There you can also come across Redstone Dust in large quantities.


What to make with Redstone Powder

The key when making creations is not the Redstone as such, but the dust that emerges from its blocks . If you squeeze them to get this material, you will have with you an element that will be essential for the creation of automated mechanisms of all kinds. We are going to explain what you can make with Redstone Powder below .
