Talk:Redstone Ore/Archive 1

Does it really emit light?
Does it actually emit light when struck, or just turn a brighter shade of red?
 * It actually emits light (4 squares worth) when struck. With the latest update, it makes small particle effects when struck, in addition to being the lighter shade of red. So, when first implemented, it made four squares of light, now it makes four squares of light and turns a brighter shade of red.

Should mention that it is found near lava as well as adminium? or is that just speculation? --Zaneo 19:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd say speculation. In my current save I have yet to chance upon any lava, but have found several veins of Redstone. It will probably often be found near bedrock/adminium, if only because it appears more frequently in the lower regions of maps. --Keris Rain 20:42, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I found mine near lava, and I have yet to see adminium, so I'm betting it to be true -Phoenyx
 * I found my first vein not so deep, behind a vein of gold. Also, Phoenyx, to make a signature, you put 4(four) tildes(~ this things) in a row. --Demki 20:28, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Seriously need a better picture for this article.

Someone submitting a picture of redstone glowing would be a nice addition. --Funkadacious


 * I don't think it needs a picture at all except for the infobox -- prettycoolguy (talk) 21:58, 26 November 2010 (CST)

Mining time
I was wondering if someone could find the mining time for Redstone Ore - I know it takes a while, but I don't know whether you have to time it or if it's somewhere in the code... If someone could do that, that would be great! Bigreader 20:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
