Talk:Block of Redstone

At last!
Yes! At last, a storage block for redstone! Let's hope it has some other interesting properties too, but at least it exists now! --Mental Mouse 21:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC) ETA: On consideration, a piston-movable power source is actually pretty cool in its own right. Lots of potential there.... Still waiting to see about that BUD switch though. --Mental Mouse 01:35, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Blast Resistance
Yeah...Tested Blast Resistance...same as Stone Brick, so it's 30, too. PS: Build a tower of Redstone Blocks and but TNT at the side=easy TNT launcher 93.193.47.169 21:45, 3 January 2013 (UTC)Ie0n93.193.47.169 21:45, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Chests can be opened from under them
I noticed that one can open ender chests, chests, and trapped chests from under these blocks. Once a trivia section is made, it'd be a good idea to add that. Elf03413 21:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Pickaxe
Does it need an iron pickaxe or better to mine? HotdogPi ⑬㊲ 03:53, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Nope. Wooden pickaxe is good enough. Remember that Coal Ore can also be collected with a wooden one. --mgr 04:05, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But Redstone Ore can't... I'd call that a bug. --Mental Mouse 12:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Compressed Pulse?.
Using a sticky piston, 2 redstone dusts, and a redstone block would it be posible to make a super compressed pulse?

Dust | Piston

Dust | Redstone Block

Any | Air


 * If that's an overhead arrangement, the redstone wire won't configure itself to point towards the piston, so it won't activate it. But if you then remove the dust next to the block of redstone, the redstone wire next to the piston will still be briefly powered when it re-configures itself to a "dot" which will provide a 1-tick pulse to the piston, pushing the block of redstone away and not pulling it back. Is that what you mean? It's not very repeatable… &mdash;Munin295 &middot; Grid_Book_and_Quill.png Grid_Stone_Pickaxe.png &middot; 21:33, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
