Redstone Ore is the ore block that drops redstone.
Obtaining
Natural generation
Redstone ore generates in veins of size 7, 8 per chunk, from y=0 to y=15.
Usage
Breaking
Redstone ore drops four or five redstone when mined with an iron or diamond pickaxe. Mined with anything else, it drops nothing. It never drops itself.
No pickaxe gets a speed bonus on redstone ore.
Behaviour
Glowing
Redstone ore starts to glow when a player hits it or right-clicks it, or when a player or mob walks on it. Glowing ore gives off light and red particles.
A sneaking player does not set it glowing by walking on it, and neither does a spider or a wolf.
Glowing ore goes dark on its next random tick, about 20 seconds later on average. Touching it again while it glows does not keep it glowing longer.
