Technaut Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Is it just me or is redstone a bit more rare these days? On my single player world i only found 2 stacks after maybe 2 hours of mining!! I though maybe it was just that world and where i was looking but tonight i was on a server for the first time and again only found a stack after 2 or 3 hours!! I was looking between levels 10-20. Anyone else notice this or i am gone mad? I must also say that i haven't played minecraft in 4 or 5 months, so maybe it is an update since then? Quote
sgtharden Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I've had the same problem, its so random, maybe they'll see it and update it soon. Quote

This has been a big problem for me trying to start out a SSP game. Crafting up is crippled by how hard it is to find redstone. Did you find out anything new? Is it biome specific now? Quote
Strikewolf Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Not sure how set up you are on your SP worlds, but I'd recommend taking a steel or obsidian paxel and getting a lvl 30 enchant ASAP. The fortune enchant you'll inevitably get makes mining redstone much much easier. Quote
Technaut Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 not to worry, that post was quite a while ago, im not sure why it was happening. I was getting 15-20 stacks an hour in the MP world. Quote

Technaut Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 No its not biome specific. what i do is, enchant the best pick i can, hope to get fortune and unbreakable and dig a shaft down to 6-12.. then just dig tunnels and you will find loads of the stuff. Quote

Yeah, I've been finding more of it. It's probably just my bad luck / not worth speculating about Quote
