'''Redstone ore''' is the [[ore]] block from which [[redstone]] is obtained.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Deepslate redstone ore''' is a variant found in the [[deepslate]] layer of the world, below Y=0{{upcoming|Java 1.18}} or within the [[deepslate]] and [[tuff]] blobs from Y=16 to Y=0 {{Upcoming|Java 1.17}}, as it generates whenever redstone ore replace [[deepslate]] or [[tuff]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Obtaining ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Natural generation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Redstone ore can generate in [[the Overworld]] in the form of [[blob]]s. Redstone ore attempts to generate 8 times per chunk in blobs of size 0&amp;amp;ndash;10, from [[altitude]]s 1 to 16, in all biomes. On average they generate 29.5 ores per chunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{INUpcoming|Java 1.18}}, redstone ore generates in two batches per chunk. The first batch attempts to generate 4 time per chunk, in blobs of 0&amp;amp;ndash;10, evenly from levels -63 to 15. The second batch attempts to generate 8 times per chunk, in blobs of 0&amp;amp;ndash;10, from levels -63 to -34, being more common the lower the elevation. Redstone ore can replace stone, granite, diorite, andesite, tuff, and deepslate. If it replaces tuff or deepslate, it will become deepslate redstone ore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Breaking ===&lt;br /&gt;
Redstone ore must be mined with an iron pickaxe or higher to drop [[redstone dust]]. When mined, it drops 4&amp;amp;ndash;5 redstone dust (or more with [[Fortune]], averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune level 3&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://imgur.com/a/UnIGPKn&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://imgur.com/a/GirweJL&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;). If mined with [[Silk Touch]], it drops itself instead of redstone dust.&lt;br /&gt;

|Iron; Iron&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Light ===&lt;br /&gt;
Redstone ore produces light (strength 9) and red particles when clicked, updated, or contacted by any mob (exception being a sneaking player). This effect continues until the redstone ore block receives a [[Tick#Random tick|random block tick]] (averaging 68.27 seconds). This effect does not actually produce redstone power, but the block changes can be detected with an [[observer]] or a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|block update detector]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Subsequent clickings on a redstone ore block causes it to emit an extra burst of particles per click.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Note Blocks ===&lt;br /&gt;
Redstone ore can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce &amp;quot;bass drum&amp;quot; sound.&lt;br /&gt;
