Talk:Redstone Torch/Archive 1

Is redstone copper?
Does anyone else think this mysterious "red powder" is similar to this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper%28I%29_oxide

And in its unmined form: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuprite -Rossco 20:32, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

 * It's copper...yes, that makes sense. Colordutiful 00:04, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I think so, someone should delete the pages people have been spamming with different names for it and just call it cuprite...--Kingkai8 (what time is it? xD)

Speculative remark
"Useful for raiding parties in multiplayer..." That seems to be implying a lot of unknowns and speculation, IMO --pokemaughan

Efficiency
Since redstone drops at a rate of 4-5 per ore block mined, doesn't this actually mean that redstone torches are at least as efficient as regular torches? Consider: 1 coal block -> 4 torches, 1 redstone block -> 4 to 5 redstone torches. Harbinger0x7c0 18:16, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Just use normal torches, they're brighter and easier to make. By the way, coal is easier to find than redstone. iamninja28
