Redstone Dust

To obtain Redstone Dust, you must find Redstone Ore. Redstone Ore is commonly located near lava pools or near the level of Bedrock. Once found, you can mine it with a pickaxe that is of iron or diamond quality. From that, you should yield four to five dust of redstone into your inventory.

Redstone Dust can be placed on the ground as Redstone Wire, used as a brewing and crafting material, and provide electrical-like powers to create diverse and unique machines to perform specific tasks.
