How To Find Redstone In Minecraft 1.19 Update

Redstone is by far one of the most useful ores in Minecraft. It is the key ingredient to various recipes and mechanisms in the game, which automate certain processes so that you don't have to do the hard work. Plus, it gives lots of EXP for you to level up faster.

After the Minecraft 1.18 Caves and Cliffs update, Redstone gets a new generation mechanic and becomes more accessible. In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase how to find Redstone in Minecraft 1.19 update.

2. Witch farm
3. Chest loot
4. Trading with villagers

1. Mine Redstone Ore/Find Redstone Dust

Players can find Redstone ores generate in the Overworld in the form of blobs. They can be found in levels -63 to 15, the lower the elevation the better. For guaranteed spawn:

5 lengths of redstone dust can be found in one type of jail cell room in a woodland mansion.
15 lengths of redstone dust are naturally generated as part of the trap in each jungle pyramid.
Multiple pieces of redstone dust can be found integrated into circuitry in Ancient Cities.

When mining Redstone Ore, players can get 4 or 5 redstone dust (or more with Fortune, averaging at 6 redstone dust with Fortune III). The block drops itself when mined with Silk Touch.

Maxresdefault 1 — Redstone ore can be found deep underground.

2. Witch farm

Witches have a chance of dropping 0–2 redstone dust upon death. This is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0–5 redstone dust. Witch huts are one of the best places to farm witches, but they require spawning platforms and light levels of 7 or lower.

Maxresdefault 2 — Witches drop a lot of useful materials including redstone dust.

To farm witches, players need to build a spawning platform from the hut, then create a flushing structure to funnel the spawning mobs into one small area. Afterward, just hit them for items and XP. Besides redstone, players can also get glowstone, sugar, gunpowder, glass bottles, spider eyes, and sticks.

3. Chest loot

Players can find a large number of redstone dust inside chests from generated structures. The villager chests have the highest spawn rate, at 44.8%.
