Redstone dust is a mineral used for crafting, brewing, armor trims and, above all, as wire. It comes from redstone ore: an iron pickaxe or better gets 4 or 5, more with Fortune, and Silk Touch drops the ore block itself. Touching the ore makes it glow for a moment. There is also dust in jungle temple traps, in one mansion jail cell and in the circuits of ancient cities.
Placed on the ground it becomes redstone wire, which carries a signal up to 15 blocks. The signal weakens with every block it travels, so long distances need repeaters. Wire connects on its own toward neighboring components, and it climbs or drops one block as long as no conductive block sits above the lower stretch.
It can be placed on conductive blocks and on a few that are not, such as glowstone, glass, hoppers, or upside-down slabs and stairs. It breaks and drops as an item if the block below is removed, if water or lava reaches it or if a piston pushes it.
Nine dust make a block of redstone and back again. At a smithing table it gives armor trims a red color. In Java, clerics may gift it to you while you have Hero of the Village.
