Redstone ore mined using an iron pickaxe or higher drops 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with Fortune, averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). If mined with [[Minecraft:Silk Touch]], the block drops itself instead of redstone dust. When the ore itself is clicked on/touched, it emits a light level of 9 and glows.

Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone [[Minecraft:Redstone components#Power components|power components]] and [[Minecraft:Redstone components#Transmission components|transmission component]] connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a conductive block above the lower redstone wire.

Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a [[Minecraft:conductive]] block above the lower redstone wire.


If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust}} line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust}}, {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust-upleft}}, {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust-t-up}}, or {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust-cross}} as needed.

When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust-cross}} plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking, it can be changed into a {{MC/Blocksprite|redstone-dust-dot}} dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions.{{Only|java}}

Redstone wire does not automatically configure itself to point toward [[Minecraft:Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]]; the only exceptions are the back and side faces of [[Minecraft:piston]]s and sticky pistons {{MC/In|bedrock}}. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there.

When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a block update detector.

* from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions:
** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on a conductive block one level higher. A non-conductive block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward.
** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on a [[Minecraft:conductive]] block one level higher. A non-conductive block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward.
** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or non-conductive. A conductive block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.
** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or non-conductive. A conductive block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.


The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few (daylight sensors, trapped chests, and weighted pressure plates) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but redstone comparators may output a lower power level.

Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater.

Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, a conductive block provides ''weak'' power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Non-conductive blocks cannot be powered.

Non-conductive blocks cannot be powered.


When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" particles of the same color.

While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it.

For the {{{Description}}} of the same name, see [[{{{Destination}}}]].

Template:Infobox block Redstone dust is a mineral used in Minecraft:crafting, Minecraft:brewing, Minecraft:trimming, and as a placeable wire.

Redstone wire is a non-solid Minecraft:block that can transmit a redstone power signal up to 15 blocks in distance; Minecraft:signal strengths below 15 have reduced distance. Redstone wire can power blocks it is placed on or pointing at.

Obtaining

Breaking

Redstone dust is immediately destroyed when broken.

Redstone dust is removed and drops as an item if:

Template:Breaking row Redstone dust drops itself when destroyed.

Mining

Template:See also Minecraft:Redstone ore mined using an Minecraft:iron pickaxe or higher drops 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with Minecraft:Fortune, averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). If mined with Minecraft:Silk Touch, the block drops itself instead of redstone dust. When the ore itself is clicked on/touched, it emits a light level of 9 and glows.

Natural generation

15 lengths of redstone dust are naturally generated as part of the trap in each Minecraft:jungle pyramid. 5 lengths of redstone dust can be found in one type of a jail cell room in a Minecraft:woodland mansion. In Minecraft:ancient cities, multiple pieces of redstone dust can be found integrated into circuitry. 1 piece of redstone dust can be found in the "Encounter 4" room in Minecraft:trial chambers.

Usage

Redstone dust is used for brewing, crafting, and in redstone circuits by placing it on the ground to create redstone wire. It can also be used to power redstone components.

Template:Anchor Redstone component

When placed in the world, redstone dust becomes a block of redstone wire, which can transmit redstone signal.

Placement

File:Redstone wire as circuit component.png
Examples of redstone wire configuration. Top Left: Redstone wire connects diagonally vertically through non-conductive blocks. Top Right: Redstone wire does not connect diagonally vertically through Minecraft:conductive blocks. Center: Redstone wire gets darker as its power level drops, to a maximum of 15 blocks from a power source.
File:Redstone on Glowstone, Stairs, Slabs.png
Examples of redstone wire placements.

Redstone dust can be placed on Minecraft:conductive blocks as well as Minecraft:glowstone, upside-down Minecraft:slabs, Minecraft:glass, upside-down Minecraft:stairs, and Minecraft:hoppers. It can also be placed on some non-conductive blocks; see Minecraft:Opacity/Placement for more information. It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone power components and transmission component connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a Minecraft:conductive block above the lower redstone wire.

If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a Template:BlockSprite line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of Template:BlockSprite, Template:BlockSprite, Template:BlockSprite, or Template:BlockSprite as needed.

When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a Template:BlockSprite plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking, it can be changed into a Template:BlockSprite dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions.Template:Only

Redstone wire does not automatically configure itself to point toward mechanism components; the only exceptions are the back and side faces of Minecraft:pistons and Minecraft:sticky pistons Template:In. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there.

When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a block update detector.


Behavior

Template:SchematicTemplate:Schematic

Redstone wire can transmit power, which can be used to operate mechanism components (Minecraft:doors, Minecraft:pistons, Minecraft:redstone lamps, etc.). Redstone wire can be "powered" by a number of methods:

  • from an adjacent power component or a strongly-powered block
  • from the output of a redstone repeater or redstone comparator
  • from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions:
    • Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on a Minecraft:conductive block one level higher. A non-conductive block cannotTemplate:Only pass power downward.
    • The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or non-conductive. A conductive block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.

The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few (Minecraft:daylight sensors, Minecraft:trapped chests, and Minecraft:weighted pressure plates) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but Minecraft:redstone comparators may output a lower power level.

Template:Schematic Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater.

Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, a Minecraft:conductive block provides weak power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Non-conductive blocks cannot be powered.

When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" Minecraft:particles of the same color.

While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it.

Piston interactivity

Redstone dust is destroyed when a Minecraft:piston tries to push it. It can't be pulled by Minecraft:sticky pistons.
