'''Redstone dust''' is a mineral that can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]] as a wire when placed as a [[block]]. It is also used in [[crafting]] and [[brewing]].
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
{{see also|Redstone Ore#Natural generation}}
[[Redstone ore]] mined using an iron [[pickaxe]] or higher drops 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with [[Fortune]], averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). If mined with [[Silk Touch]], the block drops itself instead of redstone dust.
=== Natural generation ===
15 lengths of redstone dust are naturally generated as part of the trap in each [[jungle pyramid]]. 5 lengths of redstone dust can be found in one type of jail cell room in a [[woodland mansion]]. In [[Ancient City|ancient cities]], multiple pieces of redstone dust can be found integrated into circuitry.
=== Breaking ===
Redstone dust can be broken instantly using any tool, or without a tool, and drops itself as an item.
Redstone dust is removed and drops as an item if:
* its attachment block is moved, removed, or destroyed
* [[water]] or [[lava]] flows into its space
* a [[piston]] tries to push it or moves a block into its space
=== Mob loot ===
[[Witch]]es have a chance of dropping 0–2 redstone dust upon death. This is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 redstone dust.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|redstone}}
=== Crafting ===
Redstone dust can be crafted from [[blocks of redstone]].

=== Trading ===
{{IN|java}}, novice-level cleric [[villager]]s sell two redstone dust for one [[emerald]].
{{IN|bedrock}}, novice-level cleric villagers sell four redstone dust for one emerald.
=== Villager gifts ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Raid farming}}
{{IN|Java}}, when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect, clerics might throw that player a redstone dust as a gift.
== Usage ==
Redstone dust is used for [[#Brewing ingredient|brewing]], [[#Crafting ingredient|crafting]], and in redstone circuits by placing it on the ground to create [[#Redstone component|redstone wire]]. It can also be used to power redstone components.

=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage|Redstone Dust}}
=== {{anchor|Redstone dust}} Redstone component ===
When placed in the world, redstone dust becomes a block of "redstone wire"{{Info needed|other blco? BE?}}, which can transmit [[Redstone circuit#Power|redstone power]].

=== Placement ===

''Top Right:'' Redstone wire does ''not'' connect diagonally vertically through opaque blocks. ''Center:'' Redstone wire gets darker as its power level drops, to a maximum of 15 blocks from a power source.|thumb]]
[[File:Redstone on Glowstone, Stairs, Slabs.png|Examples of redstone wire placements.|thumb]]
Redstone dust can be placed on [[opaque]] blocks as well as [[glowstone]], upside-down [[slab]]s, [[glass]], upside-down [[stairs]], and [[hopper]]s. It can also be placed on some transparent blocks; see [[Opacity/Placement]] for more information. It cannot be placed suspended in midair, even with commands, which is not unintentional.<ref>{{bug|MC-182709}}</ref>
Redstone wire configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone [[Redstone components#Power components|power components]] and [[Redstone components#Transmission components|transmission component]] connection points. Redstone wire also configures itself to point toward adjacent redstone wire one block higher or lower – unless there is a solid opaque block above the lower redstone wire.
If there is only one such adjacent redstone component, redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}} line pointing both at the neighbor and away from it. If there are two or more such adjacent components, redstone wire connects them in the form of {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-upleft}}, {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-t-up}}, or {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} as needed.
When there are no adjacent components, a single redstone wire configures itself into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-cross}} plus sign, which can provide power in all four directions. By right-clicking it can be changed into a {{BlockSprite|redstone-dust-dot}} dot, which does not provide power to any of the four directions.
{{IN|bedrock}}, redstone wire automatically configures itself to point toward adjacent blocks or [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]]. {{IN|java}}, it does not. If such a configuration is desired, the other neighbors of the redstone wire must be arranged to create it, i.e the redstone dust must be placed in a way that it would be pointed at the block’s location even if it were not there.
When redstone wire is reconfigured after placement, it does not update other redstone components around it of the change unless that reconfiguration also includes a change in power level or another component provides an update. This can create situations where a mechanism component remains activated when it shouldn't, or vice versa, until it receives an update from something else – a "feature" of redstone wire that can be used to make a [[BUD|block update detector]].

=== Behavior ===

}}
Redstone wire can transmit power, which can be used to operate [[Redstone components#Mechanism components|mechanism components]] ([[door]]s, [[piston]]s, [[redstone lamp]]s, etc.).
Redstone wire can be "powered" by a number of methods:
* from an adjacent [[Redstone components#Power components|power component]] or a strongly-powered block
* from the output of a redstone repeater or redstone comparator
* from adjacent redstone wire. The powering dust can be a level higher or lower, but with restrictions:
** Redstone dust can be powered by redstone dust that is one level lower, or on an [[opaque]] block one level higher. A transparent block cannot{{only|java}} pass power downward.
** The block "between" the two dust blocks must be air or transparent. A solid block there "cuts" the connection between the higher and lower dust.
The "power level" of redstone dust can vary from 0 to 15. Most power components power-up adjacent redstone dust to power level 15, but a few ([[daylight sensor]]s, [[trapped chest]]s, and [[weighted pressure plate]]s) may create a lower power level. Redstone repeaters output power level 15 (when turned on), but [[redstone comparator]]s may output a lower power level.
{{Schematic | caption =
Redstone wire can transmit power up to 15 blocks.
|rt-$!|rd-$ew!+15|rd-$ew!+14|rd-$ew!+13|rd-$ew!+12|rd-$ew!+11|rd-$ew!+10|rd-$ew!+9
|rd-$ew!+8|rd-$ew!+7|rd-$ew!+6|rd-$ew!+5|rd-$ew!+4|rd-$ew!+3|rd-$ew!+2|rd-$ew!+1|rd-$ew+0
}}
Power level drops by 1 for every block of redstone wire it crosses. Thus, redstone wire can transmit power for no more than 15 blocks. To go further, the power level must be re-strengthened – typically with a redstone repeater.
Powered redstone wire on top of, or pointing at, an opaque block provides ''weak'' power to the block. A weakly-powered block cannot power other adjacent redstone wire, but can still power redstone repeaters and comparators, and activate adjacent mechanism components. Transparent blocks cannot be powered.
When redstone wire is unpowered, it appears dark red. When powered, it becomes bright red at power level 15, fading to darker shades with decreasing power. Powered redstone wire also produces "dust" [[particles]] of the same color.
While redstone wire always provides power to the directions it points into, it can still point into directions in which it cannot give power. If redstone wire comes in the form of a cross, the player can right-click to toggle it between a cross and dot. A redstone dot does not power anything adjacent to it, but powers the block under it.

'''Bone meal''' is a material that can be used as a fertilizer for most plants and fungi, as well as a crafting ingredient for [[dye]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting
|Bone
|Output=Bone Meal,3
|type=Material
|showname=0
|head=1
}}
{{Crafting
|Bone Block
|Output= Bone Meal,9
|type=Material

=== Mob loot ===
==== Fish ====
All fish mob variants ([[cod]], [[salmon]], [[tropical fish]], and [[pufferfish]]) have a 5% chance to drop 1 bone meal upon death.{{only|java}} In [[Bedrock Edition]], they drop [[bones]] instead.
=== Composters ===
When a [[composter]] is completely filled, a single bone meal drops the next time the composter is {{ctrl|used}}.
=== Trading ===
[[Wandering trader]]s sell 3 bone meal for an [[emerald]].{{only|bedrock}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
{{IN|bedrock}}, bone meal can be also used in [[banner pattern]]s:

=== Fertilizer ===
Bone meal can also be used on the following [[plants]] to have a chance to increase their growth stage:
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Plant
!Action
|-
|{{BlockLink|Wheat}}<br>{{BlockLink|Carrots}}<br>{{BlockLink|Potatoes}}
|The plant matures 2–5 growth stages.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Beetroots}}
|The plant has a 75% chance of growing to the next growth stage.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Bamboo}}
|Grows the [[bamboo]] by 1-2 stems.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Melon Stem|link=Melon seeds|text=Melon Seeds}}<br>{{BlockLink|Pumpkin Stem|link=Pumpkin seeds|text=Pumpkin Seeds}}
|The planted stem matures 2–5 growth stages. Bone meal affects only the stem's growth; it does not cause [[melon]]s or [[pumpkin]]s to sprout from a mature stem.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Saplings}}<br>{{BlockLink|Azalea}}<br>{{BlockLink|Flowering Azalea}}<br>{{BlockLink|Mangrove Propagule}} (not hanging)
|The [[sapling]] has a 45% chance of growing to the next growth stage, if possible. Saplings have two growth stages (with no visible difference between them) before growing into trees as the third stage. A tree cannot grow unless the sapling is planted in proper ground and sufficient space is available. Using bone meal on such an obstructed sapling with no chance of growing wastes the bone meal.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Sunflower}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Lilac}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Rose Bush}}es<br>{{BlockLink|Peony|Peonies}}
|The corresponding item form drops, without destroying the original plant.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Grass}}<br>{{BlockLink|Fern}}s<br>{{BlockLink|Seagrass}}
|A one-block-high tall [[grass]], [[fern]], or [[seagrass]] (that is on [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[farmland]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[moss block]], [[mud]], or [[muddy mangrove roots]] (only exception is seagrass, will need to on a full surface)) grows into a two-block-high tall grass, fern or seagrass.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Mushrooms}}
|Has a 40% chance of growing into a {{EnvLink|huge mushroom}} if on [[grass block]], [[dirt]], [[coarse dirt]], [[rooted dirt]], [[farmland]], [[podzol]], [[mycelium]], [[moss block]], [[mud]], or [[muddy mangrove roots]].
|-
|{{BlockLink|Cocoa}}
|The cocoa plant matures 1 growth stage.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Sweet Berry Bush}}
|Grows every stage.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Sea Pickle}}
|If the [[sea pickle]] is on a [[coral block]] and in [[water]] at least 2 blocks deep, the sea pickle colony grows, and additional sea pickles generate nearby.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Sugar Cane}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}
|The sugar cane grows to maximum height (three blocks tall).
|-
|{{BlockLink|Kelp}}
|The kelp plant grows by 1 block per bone meal used, up to its maximum height.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Flower|id=poppy}} (excluding wither roses){{only|bedrock|short=1}}
|One-block-high flowers make more flowers of the same type grow in the surrounding area.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Fungus|id=fungi}}
|Grows into [[huge fungi]], but only if on the respective [[nylium]].
|-
|{{BlockLink|Weeping Vines}}
|Grows the [[weeping vine]]s a few blocks downward.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Twisting Vines}}
|Grows the [[twisting vine]]s a few blocks upward.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Cave Vines}}
|Produces [[glow berries]] if the vine did not have any [[glow berries]] on it already.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Glow Lichen}}
|The [[glow lichen]] spreads to a random adjacent block.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
|The [[moss block]] causes nearby [[stone]], [[cave vine]]s, and [[dirt]] to become moss blocks.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Big Dripleaf}}<br>{{BlockLink|Small Dripleaf}}
|A [[big dripleaf]] grows one block higher, and a [[small dripleaf]] becomes a big dripleaf.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
|Causes [[hanging roots]] to grow underneath the [[rooted dirt]] if there is space.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Mangrove Leaves}}
|Creates a hanging [[mangrove propagule]] under the [[mangrove leaves]].
|-
|{{BlockLink|Mangrove Propagule}} (hanging)
|The [[mangrove propagule]] matures 1 growth age.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Pink Petals}}
|Produces another pink petal in the block. If there are already four pink petals in the block, it will drop a pink petal as an item.
|-
|{{BlockLink|Torchflower Crop}}<br>{{BlockLink|Pitcher Crop}}
|Grows every stage.

Bone meal does not affect:
* [[Cactus]]
* [[Vines]]
* [[Nether wart]]
* [[Sugar cane]]{{only|JE}}
* [[Chorus plant]]s, or other plants not listed above.
==== Wasting bone meal ====
Bone meal can be used on the following objects in the following situations, consuming it without any real effect:
* On [[grass]], [[fern]]s, and [[seagrass]] that do not have enough space to grow.<ref>{{bug|MC-125642}}</ref>
* On [[seagrass]] that doesn't have [[water]] above.
* On a [[dark oak sapling]] that is not in a group of four.<ref>{{bug|MC-168446}}</ref>
* On a [[mushroom]] that is not on a block that allows it to grow into a huge mushroom.<ref>{{bug|MC-173213}}</ref>
* On a [[sea pickle]] that is already in a group of four and has no valid locations to expand to.<ref>{{bug|MC-127995}}</ref>
* On a [[bamboo]] (not [[bamboo shoot]]) that is blocked in the way.
* On a [[sea pickle]] that is not on a [[coral block]].
* On a [[fungus]] that is not on its respective [[nylium]].
* Any plants that can't grow due to being block by the [[build limit]].
=== Creating new plants ===
If bone meal is {{ctrl|used}} on a [[grass block]]; [[tall grass]], [[grass]], [[flower]]s, and [[pink petals]] form on the targeted block and on random adjacent grass blocks in an 15×5×15{{only|java|short=1}}/7×5×7{{only|bedrock|short=1}} area centered on the targeted block. The flowers/pink petals that appear depend on the biome, meaning that in order to obtain specific flowers, the player must travel to biomes where the flowers are found naturally. See {{slink|Flower|Flower biomes}} for more information.
Using bone meal on a 2-block flower (rose bushes, sunflowers, lilacs or peonies) will cause one of the same type of flower to drop, without breaking the original. This is the only way to reproduce these flowers, since they cannot generate from using bone meal on grass blocks.
Using bone meal on a non-transparent block that is underwater generates [[seagrass]] on that block and surrounding blocks. Sometimes, if in a [[warm ocean]] biome, [[coral]] and [[coral fan]]s may have a chance to generate as well, and in Bedrock Edition, coral (not coral fan) can be generated in any biome. In order for this to work, there must be 2 water blocks above the block the bone meal is being used on, and the lower one must be non-flowing water.
Using bone meal on a [[sea pickle]] on a [[coral block]] creates sea pickles. This generates sea pickles up to 3 [[block]]s (of coral) away, so a 7+ × 7+ block (49+ blocks) of coral may be necessary, to return the most sea pickles per given bone meal attempt (more attempts grows them more numerously, exactly - including the range of it growing, like grass with heights on grass blocks - as coral and coral fans, though those others being non-solid blocks).
Using bone meal on [[netherrack]] adjacent to [[nylium]] converts the netherrack into nylium of the same type. If both crimson and warped nylium are adjacent to the netherrack that was applied with bone meal, there is a 50% chance that either type of nylium is created.
Using bone meal on [[nylium]] causes the corresponding [[roots]] and both types of [[fungi]] to appear on the nylium block and other nylium nearby, with the type of fungi matching the type of nylium being more common. In addition, using bone meal on the side of warped nylium creates [[nether sprouts]] and [[twisting vines]].
=== Farmer villagers ===
[[Villager]]s with the farmer profession can collect bone meal from a full [[composter]], with which they can make their crops grow faster.

== Trivia ==
* Bone meal can be used on the sides or bottom of a [[grass block]], as well as on a grass block with [[plant]]s already on top of it.
