Community Answer

You can mine redstone lamps with any tool or with your hand; it will always drop itself as an item.

Question

How can I power a redstone lamp from below?

Community Answer

Many of the items used to power a redstone lamp are capable of being placed on the bottom side of a lamp as well. One can use a redstone torch, a redstone block, a button (this does not apply to older versions) or a lever.

Question

Can I make a normal lamp?

Community Answer

Yes, you could use glowstone as a lamp. It doesn’t need any tinkering; it just eternally glows.

Question

Instead of going to the nether and finding redstone and hooking up a system isn't it a lot easier to just go to the nether and get glowstone that glows anyway?

Fair point! That would less time, but you cannot turn a glowstone block on/off like a redstone lamp. If you just want a permanent light source, go ahead with glowstone, but if you want to be able to turn your lamp on and off, then you need this.

Question

Does it work under water?

Top Answerer

Yes, redstone lamps will work under water. However, you cannot place redstone dust or most other redstone related items under water. But, you can place a redstone block by the lamp to light it up.

Question

How do you make redstone dust?

Seasalt25

Top Answerer

You cannot make redstone dust in Minecraft. You can get redstone dust by mining redstone ore, which is found from Y-levels 1-16 in all biomes. You can also find redstone dust in chests in dungeons, mineshafts, villages, strongholds, and woodland mansions. Witches may also drop redstone dust upon death.
