    Redstone
    may be dropped when a block of Redstone Ore is destroyed with an Iron₠or diamond₠pickaxe It is also dropped by Witches, and occurs in block form in Jungle Temples and Woodland Mansions. It also appears in Dungeon, Woodland Mansion, and Stronghold Chests, and in Abandoned Mineshaft Chest Minecarts.₠This dust can be placed on the ground to make redstone wire. Redstone can also be crafted into a Redstone Torch₠although a redstone torch is not as efficient as a regular torch as it does not₠give off as much light, a Block of Redstone (as of update 1.5)₠and/or a Redstone Repeater.₠Redstone also can be used in traps or mechanisms involving Redstone circuits. When redstone interacts with any liquid, it will be destroyed. Redstone can only be placed on solid blocks, excluding Glowstone and top placed half Slabs of any kind. When redstone gets ignited, it will last 15 blocks before going to its off state. This can be prevented by placing a repeater and continuing the redstone circuit however will make the output 1-4 ticks longer. A Redstone Comparator₠(see page for details) creates an instant redstone signal when placed in a line (all facing the same way) unlike repeaters (listed above). The toggle switch must be off in order for this to happen.
