Minecraft:Block of Redstone

Template:Infobox block A block of redstone, internally known as a redstone block, is a mineral Minecraft:block equivalent to nine redstone dust. It acts as an always active redstone power source that can be moved by Minecraft:pistons.

Obtaining

Breaking

A block of redstone can be mined using any Minecraft:pickaxe (unlike redstone ore, which requires an iron pickaxe or better).<ref>Template:Bug</ref> If mined without a pickaxe, a block of redstone drops nothing. Template:Breaking row

Natural generation

In each ancient city, 2 blocks of redstone can be found integrated into circuitry within a secret room at the city center.

Usage

A block of redstone can be used as a redstone power source and to craft redstone dust.

Crafting ingredient

Blocks of redstone can be crafted back into redstone dust, and thus provide compact storage for redstone, like other blocks of materials (block of iron, block of gold, etc.). Template:Crafting usage

Redstone component

A block of redstone that's currently powering redstone dust, a redstone repeater, an attached redstone torch, and a redstone lamp (left) – However, redstone blocks cannot power through conductive blocks (right).

Blocks of redstone provide weak power to their direct neighbors at signal strength 15. Unlike redstone torches, redstone blocks do not require a support block and can be moved by pistons, but they also cannot be turned off.

Blocks of redstone are accepted by comparators as a side input.

Sulfur cube

Template:In development Sulfur cubes have the ability to absorb blocks of redstone, either through picking it up or being interacted with it. This provides the regular/football effect to the mob when hitting it.
