Block of Redstone

A block of redstone, internally known as a redstone block, is a mineral block equivalent to nine redstone dust. It acts as an always active redstone power source that can be moved by pistons.

A block of redstone can be mined using any pickaxe (unlike redstone ore, which requires an iron pickaxe or better).[1] If mined without a pickaxe, a block of redstone drops nothing.

In each ancient city, 2 blocks of redstone can be found integrated into circuitry within a secret room at the city center.
