Template:Hatnote Template:Infobox block Redstone ore is the Minecraft:ore block from which Minecraft:redstone is obtained.

Deepslate redstone ore is a variant of redstone ore that can generate in Minecraft:deepslate and Minecraft:tuff blobs.

Obtaining

Breaking

Redstone ore must be mined with an iron pickaxe or higher to drop redstone dust. When mined, it drops 4–5 redstone dust. It is affected by the Fortune enchantment, dropping 4-6, 4-7, or 4-8 redstone respectively with Fortune I, II, and III (averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune level 3<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210311215700/https://imgur.com/a/UnIGPKn</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230509054859/https://imgur.com/a/GirweJL</ref>). If mined with Minecraft:Silk Touch, it drops itself instead of redstone dust. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

{{#vardefine:params|0 }}Template:Hatnote Redstone ore can generate in the Minecraft:Overworld in the form of ore features. Redstone ore generates in two batches per chunk. The first batch attempts to generate 4 times per chunk, in blobs of 0–10, evenly from levels -64 to 15. The second batch attempts to generate 8 times per chunk, in blobs of 0–10, from levels -63 to -32, being more common the lower the elevation.

Redstone ore can replace Minecraft:stone, Minecraft:andesite, Minecraft:diorite, Minecraft:granite, Minecraft:tuff, and Minecraft:deepslate. Any redstone ore that replaces tuff or deepslate becomes deepslate redstone ore.

Unlike most ores, redstone ore does not generate less when exposed to air.

Usage

The primary usage of redstone ore is to mine it for redstone dust.

Lit redstone ore

Lit redstone ore is a block state of redstone ore or deepslate redstone ore. It produces the light level of 9 and emits bright red powered redstone particles. Redstone ore enters this state instantly when it is clicked by a player (including placing any actions such as placing or breaking, and not including middle click) or contacted by an entity on the top side. There are some exceptions, including a sneaking player, projectiles, shulkers, and the ender dragon. Lit redstone ore has a slightly lighter texture, although this is often hard to know in dark areas due to it emitting light, and hard to see in light areas. This effect continues until the redstone ore block receives a random block tick (averaging 68.27 seconds). This effect does not actually produce redstone power, but the block changes can be detected with an Minecraft:observer or a block update detector.

Subsequent clickings on a redstone ore block causes it to emit an extra burst of particles per click.

Unlike most other Minecraft:interactable blocks, clicking on a redstone ore with a block, in addition to emitting particles and entering lit mode, also attempts place the block. in Template:Editions if the block next to the ore in the clicked direction is replaceable (like air or water), but the placed block fails (because it needs some support, for example), the redstone ore enters lit mode, but the player does not move their hand.

Note blocks

Redstone ore can be placed under note blocks to produce "bass drum" sounds.

Sulfur cube

Template:Message box Template:Article other Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb redstone ore and deepslate redstone ore, either through picking them up or being interacted with them. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
