Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Natural generation[edit | edit source]
Redstone ore deposits can generate underground, replacing stone and basalt, at Y=32 and below, dropping 4-5 items. Limestone and granite variants are only obtainable through commands and the creative menu.
Mining[edit | edit source]
Redstone dust can be obtained by mining redstone ore with an iron pickaxe or higher. If mined with a lower pickaxe tier or without a pickaxe, it drops nothing. If mined with a golden pickaxe, it drops itself.
