Obtaining[]
Natural Generation[]
Redstone Ore spawns naturally in the ⏣ Pigmen's Den, where it can be mined and collected by the player. Normally, it drops a number of Redstone pieces and grants +7 Mining XP. However, mining it this way attracts Redstone Pigmen to attack to player, making it inconvenient to collect. The player can collect the 
Redstone Ore directly with a Silk Touch pickaxe, then bring it back to their island to mine afterwards. Although this does not grant mining XP, Redstone Pigman do not appear to be aggravated at players who mine Redstone Ore in this way, and it also saves valuable inventory space. Redstone Pigman will only attack the player if they have at least 1 stack of Redstone Dust in your inventory; mining with a mining sack with more than 64 Redstone Dust will not attract the attention of Redstone Pigmen. Redstone can also be safely collected via mining the Redstone, then crafting it into a 
Block of Redstone before having more than 1 stack.
In the Dwarven Mines, small amounts of Redstone Ore may be mined from decorative parts of the map, such as the carts in ⏣ Rampart's Quarry, though a more efficient way of getting Redstone are the several veins of Pure Redstone, which are located in the ⏣ Royal Mines.
In the Crystal Hollows, Redstone Ore may be found throughout the map. Pure Redstone can be found in the ⏣ Mines of Divan, though less than in the ⏣ Royal Mines.
Mob Drops[]
Redstone Dust is also a common drop from Redstone Pigman, although it aggravates nearby pigmen.
Purchasing[]
640x Redstone Dust is able to be purchased from the Mad Redstone Engineer on the bottom floor of the 
Builder's house each day.
Usage[]
Redstone Meter[]
The redstone meter
Redstone functions similar to how it does within vanilla Minecraft, although certain items, such as Pistons and Dispensers, are inoperable, and there is a limit to the amount of active redstone a player can have on their ⏣ Private Island. This limit is displayed on the side scoreboard, but only when any amount of redstone is being used, and it disappears when none is being used. Redstone is more likely to be used as a crafting ingredient due to a lack of operable inputs and outputs.
Selling[]
Redstone Dust can be sold to any Merchant for 1 coin a piece.
Brewing[]
It can be used in Brewing to boost potion duration to 8 minutes, (splash potions halve the duration, unless brewed with enchanted gunpowder) with your 
Alchemy level boosting it further. Enchanted Redstone Dust provides a boost of up to 16 minutes, and the Enchanted Redstone Block will bring it up to 40 minutes.

Trivia[]
- While Redstone Dust may be seen as the hardest collection to max, seeing as to do so 1.4 million Redstone Dust needs to be collected, it is actually significantly easier than it may appear, due to the fact that each block-breaking action of a Redstone Minion collects up to 5 Redstone.
- With 16 tiers, Redstone has highest amount of tiers in a single collection with the Iron Ingot, Nether Wart and Magmafish collections tying for second place with 12 tiers.
