Trivia
- It can be smelted to give one redstone dust; however, this is inefficient as it requires Silk Touch, yields very little XP, and will not give more than one redstone per ore.
- When added to the game, all Redstone-related blocks had no official name. In 1.0.4, July 9, 2010, the name Redstone was given by Notch after demands from the community.
- One may only obtain Redstone Ore as a block through Silk Touch enchanted tools, cheats/hacks, or creative mode.
- It is best to mine the Redstone Ore instead of using Silk Touch because when smelting it, it gives only one piece of Redstone, but when mined directly, it drops 1-4 pieces.
- Lit Redstone Ore is defined as a separate block in the source code.
- For beginner Minecraft players, Redstone Ore might be mistaken for Rubies.
- There is a glitch, that when dug with a Silk Touch pick, a redstone ore is obtained that is unstackable. Placing it and destroying it with Silk Touch again fixes that glitch.
- Redstone can essentially be determined to represent copper, but contains a more red hue in Minecraft than it is in real life. It also has a powdery texture. However, both objects take the same basic function, conducting power.
- Redstone ore can be mined using an iron pickaxe or better. It cannot be mined with a wooden or stone pickaxe. Although it can be destroyed by them, it will not yield anything.
- Redstone is used to make many items that cannot be made with other materials because it is a good conductor of electricity. A useful thing to make on survival mode would be a compass and/or map, as it can be used to venture from the player`s home and can help players easily find their way back.
- If the player touches redstone ore, it will glow.
- When hooked up to a BUD switch, it makes a useful pressure plate, in a similar way to String.

Trivia
- In Minecraft Pocket Edition, stepping on redstone ore does not cause a block update.
Natural generation
Redstone ore veins form at the bottom 16 layers of the map. Below layer 14, it can be found in 1.025% of stone. There are an average of about 24.8 redstone ores per chunk.
Redstone ore forms in veins made up of 4 to 8 blocks. Be that as it may, multiple veins together or non-stone surrounding the vein can change those numbers.

Light
Redstone ore will produce light (strength 9) and red particles when clicked, updated, or contacted by any mob (including the player, if not sneaking). This effect will continue until the redstone ore block receives a block tick (averaging 68.27 seconds). This effect does not actually produce redstone power, but the block changes can be detected with a block update detector See the redstone circuit. For the block, see Observer. The Block Update Detector, or "BUD switch", is a redstone mechanism that uses quirks in the game in order to detect changes in allowing redstone ore to act like a pressure plate for mobs, but capable of detecting contact with its sides and bottom surfaces as well.
If a lit redstone ore block receives external light greater than its natural level, it will emit the light level that it absorbed until the block deactivates or is broken or moved by a piston. For instance, a torch is placed 2 blocks away from the block illuminates it with a light level of 11. If the torch is broken, the block will continue to emit a light level of 11.
