Redstone

Template:Vanilla**Script error: No such module "Infobox/Item".**
**Redstone** is a `**Common**` Collection item in the Mining category. It can be obtained by mining in the Pigman's Den, from the Mad Redstone Engineer, or rarely by killing Witches. It is the largest Collection in the game, going up to Tier XVI (16). It is usually advised to have a Redstone Minion during the early game, in order to upgrade the Accessory Bag.

## Collection

Collecting redstone increases the player's redstone collection, which grants useful items and perks upon collecting certain amounts of redstone.

## Obtaining

### Natural Generation

 File:Redstone ore.png
Redstone ore spawns naturally in the Pigman's Den, where it can be mined and collected by the player. Normally, it drops a number of redstone pieces and grants +7 Template:Skl XP. However, mining it this way attracts Pigmen to attack to player, making it inconvenient to collect. The player can collect the redstone ore directly with a Silk Touch pickaxe. Although this does not grant mining XP, Pigmen do not appear to be aggravated at players who mine redstone ore in this way. Pigmen will only attack you if you have any redstone in your inventory; mining with a mining sack will not attract the attention of Pigmen.

### Mob Drops

Redstone is also an uncommon drop from Witches, although this does not gain progress in the redstone collection.

## Usage

### Redstone Meter

 File:Redstone Meter.png
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 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 Template:Skl level boosting it further. Enchanted Redstone provides a boost of up to 16 minutes, and the Enchanted Redstone Block will bring it up to 40 minutes.

## Trivia

* While Redstone may be seen as the hardest collection to max, seeing as to do so 1.4 million Redstone 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(citation needed) redstone dust.
* It is currently unknown as to why the Preposterous Accessory Bag is replaced with **Unknown upgrade** when viewing collections.
* With 16 tiers, Redstone has highest amount of tiers in a single collection with the Iron Ingot and Netherwart collections tying for second place with 12 tiers.

## Bugs

* The Spelunker perk from the Mining Skill does not apply to Redstone, regardless of the way in which it is mined or where it was found. The reason is unknown, and this is likely a bug.
