Explanations: answer key for all 10 questions

Q1: What does redstone ore drop when mined?
Answer: Redstone dust
The ore glows when touched.
Q2: How far does a redstone dust signal travel?
Answer: Up to 15 blocks
Strength drops by one each block.
Q3: What does a repeater do?
Answer: Boosts and delays signals
Delays can be adjusted.
Q4: Which logic gate does a redstone torch act like?
Answer: NOT gate
It inverts its input.
Q5: Which block compares signal strengths?
Answer: Comparator
It can read container fullness.
Q6: What does a sticky piston do?
Answer: Pushes and pulls blocks
Slime makes it sticky.
Q7: What does an observer detect?
Answer: Block changes in front of it
It sends a pulse.
Q8: Which redstone block responds to sunlight?
Answer: Daylight sensor
It can be inverted.
Q9: Which is a common redstone power source?
Answer: A lever
Buttons and plates work too.
Q10: What have ambitious players built with redstone?
Answer: Working computers and calculators
Some even run simple games.

Wiring a World of Blocks

Redstone is Minecraft's version of electrical wiring. Mining redstone ore, which glows when touched, drops redstone dust that carries signals. A signal from dust weakens by one level for each block and travels up to 15 blocks before fading.

Repeaters boost signals back to full strength and add adjustable delays. A redstone torch inverts its input like a NOT gate, letting players build logic gates. Comparators compare signal strengths and can read how full a container is. Power sources include levers, buttons, pressure plates and daylight sensors that respond to sunlight.

Pistons push blocks, and sticky pistons pull them back, while observers detect block changes and send a pulse. Combining these parts, ambitious players have built working calculators, computers and even simple games inside Minecraft, all from glowing red dust.
