Redstone ore and the material: Redstone itself, is gotten from Redstone ore which can be found at the same levels as diamond, y16 or lower. An average of 3-5 redstone is gotton from each ore. So thats over 20 per vein. Redstone ore must be mined with iron or higher, but can be mined pretty fast with a stone pickaxe. Redstone ore will NOT power anything.
Redstone Repeaters: Redstone repeaters are made by using 3 stone on the bottom row, 2 redstone torches on either sides of it exactly above the stone and 1 redstone in the middle of the torches. Redstone repeaters can extend how long the redstone will go. Every 15 redstone blocks, for it to be continued, there must be a repeater. If you right click on one, it will change 'tick'. A tick is how long the redstone will stay on the repeater before going out onto the next redstone/redstone repeater. NOTE: No matter what you set the tick on, it will only go for 15 blocks.
Pistons and Sticky Pistons: Pistons are a way to push an item. Normal pistons will only push a block, but not bring it back. A sticky piston on the other hand, will push a block and then retrieve it after the redstone pulse disappears. If you time these correctly, you can make some cool redstone contraptions.
Dispenser and Dropper: These are probably the most easiest redstone blocks to use. A dispenser drops an item, whether its tnt to water to a piece of sand. It will only place certian blocks. A dropper is the exact same, except for the fact that if the dropper is facing a chest, the item will be 'dropped' into it.
Daylight Sensor: A daylight sensor is a sensor that tests for whether it is day or not. This can be used to trigger a command block, redstone lamp or anything. Its harder to make it work with a redstone lamp since, if you want it to turn on at night, you will need to make an inverter.
Command Block: I am not going to go too much into detail with command blocks in this post, since I have done it in another one of my posts, which you can view by going to this link. (Link opens new window). But all a command block is, is a block that allows a command to go into it. Hence the name. It can handle more complex commands than what you can make just by typing it into the chat bar. It can also do more commands than you can.
Redstone Comparator: Lets get one thing straight right away, I didn't know ANYTHING AT ALL about comparators until I researched them for this blog. Redstone Comparators have 2 'modes' that can be changed via right clicking it. When you right click on one, you can see that a little redstone torch turn off or on. This can edit the mode that you are in and change what the comparator will do. A comparator will test from all sides, where a redstone pulse is coming from. This can compare signal strengths and then give you an output which is based off of that.

Thank you, this made pop reel :)
