Redstone (disambiguation)

Redstone is a substance most commonly found deep underground in the form of Redstone ore that was introduced in Minecraft Alpha, version 1.0.1_0. When Redstone ore is destroyed by a Pickaxe made of Iron or Diamond, it drops 4-5 piles of Redstone dust. This dust can then be placed on the ground to make a wire, or be crafted with a stick to make a Redstone torch.

Redstone box
Notch commented that he liked the idea of a redstone box, which would store circuits in one block. He commented it would be interactive like a workbench, only, for redstone circuits. This object, however, is unconfirmed.
