Technaut Posted February 1, 2013 Share 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?

sgtharden Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've had the same problem, its so random, maybe they'll see it and update it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Strikewolf Posted March 20, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technaut Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm asking because this IS happening to me right now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technaut Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share 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.

Yeah, I've been finding more of it. It's probably just my bad luck / not worth speculating about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
