About

Redstone Ore is a rock-type block found underground in Minecraft. When mined with a pickaxe, it drops redstone dust, the raw material for pistons, repeaters, comparators, and most redstone circuitry. It appears naturally in ore veins throughout the lower levels of the world.

Admins can spawn it with /give @p minecraft:redstone_ore 1 or place it directly in creative mode. It stacks to 64 and has a hardness of 3.0, making it slower to break than stone but faster than most ores. Use it to stock creative servers, test redstone builds, or populate custom mining areas.
