Redstone (disambiguation)

Redstone is an object 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.) Shortly before Notch gave it its official name, it was known by a variety of names. The most popular unofficial name was Cuprite, as well as the troll-coined Aspergite. The name and properties of redstone may be a reference to a substance with the same name in Fullmetal Alchemist.
