Redstone

Redstone Dust is a vanilla Minecraft crafting and brewing ingredient. Redstone Dust is created when Redstone Ore is mined using an Iron Pickaxe or better. Redstone Dust can be placed on the ground to create a Redstone Wire. Redstone can also be crafted into a Redstone Torch or a Redstone Repeater. These items can be used in more complex Traps or Redstone circuits. In Tekkit, Redstone is a very critical part of crafting; it is used to craft many BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft items.
