Find Redstone in Minecraft

About Redstone

Redstone ore is a key resource in Minecraft, found deep underground in the Overworld. Standard redstone ore appears in stone, while deepslate redstone ore spawns below Y-level 0. Each block drops 4-5 redstone dust when mined, and the ore emits light when touched or powered. Redstone is essential for automation and machinery, functioning as Minecraft's electrical circuitry. It can transmit power up to 15 blocks, forming the foundation for complex contraptions and mechanisms.
