Redstone Ore is one of the naturally occurring ore materials on the map in the Minecraft game (Redstone Ore). It can be smelted into redstone powder and is also a common ore. Many friends don’t know how to obtain redstone ore, so let’s take a look at the distribution and collection strategies of redstone ore in Minecraft.
Mineral vein distribution
Redstone veins generate between 1 and 16 blocks above the bottom of the map. Below layer 14, approximately 1.025% of the stone layers will generate redstone ore, so each block has an average of 25 redstone ores.
Collection method
When mining redstone ore with an iron pickaxe or above, 4–5 units of redstone powder will be dropped. Redstone ore generally forms veins containing 1–10 ore blocks, making redstone production relatively high.
Redstone ore itself can be mined using a pickaxe with the Silk Touch enchantment.
Ore properties
If a player left-clicks or right-clicks on a redstone ore, or if an entity moves or falls on the redstone ore, the redstone ore will emit light with a brightness of 9 until the next block tick (usually 47 seconds). By then.
Contact with redstone ore causes it to glow with the same brightness as a redstone torch, but also has a red particle effect for a few seconds. Therefore, if combined with a block update sensor, redstone ore can be used to create traps that sense players or mobs. However, redstone ore contrasts greatly with common building materials and is easily noticeable. The block will not be activated if sneaked over it.
