What is Red Ore used for in Minecraft?

Question

I've found several piles of Red Ore (aka Cuprite) in Minecraft, but I can't seem to find a coherent explanation as to what it does or how to use it.

Does anyone know what it's used for, and how to use it correctly and strategically?

Answer

Redstone can be mined with Iron or better Picks to produce Redstone Dust.

Redstone Dust has a number of uses:

  • Traps (land-mines and similar)
  • Door (automation)
  • Minecarting (junctions)
  • Complicated gate systems
  • Miscellenaous Mechanisms

Because it can be used to create Electrical wires and even circuits.
