Overview
Minecraft classifies Redstone Ore as a stone-family block. There is no way to craft it; you have to find it and mine it. Its hardness of 3 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Anything below an iron pickaxe breaks it without leaving a drop. Breaking it produces Redstone Dust. It stacks to 64.
It goes into exactly one recipe: Redstone Dust.
