Why is it so common? I find more redstone than coal, and I'm talking about the ore blocks not the actual materials. I know redstone ore blocks can yield up to five or so redstone. I have so much of the stuff that I'd much rather find some coal or iron or really anything but redstone! I almost have an entire chest full of it. I'll never use it all.
Also, why does it take a significantly longer time to mine as opposed to other blocks? The time it takes seems like the halfway point of the time it takes to mine coal or something and the time it takes to mine obsidian. I have also noticed that in the PC version it seems to take much less time to mine than in the Xbox 360 Edition, and the pickaxes used to mine the redstone in the PC version were not enchanted.
Does anyone know the answers to my questions? I guess neither of the questions are important, but I'm just curious to know.
learn how to use redstone, once you do you will never have enough of it. That's why it's so common (i would assume). They tweeked the mining time for redstone in one of the updates, check the wiki if you really want to know when.

idk y its so common but about the time it takes to mine is something they changed in a later version i cant remember if it was 1.8 or official release but at some point the time to mine redstone is reduced
im pretty sure that up until the official version of minecraft on the comp, redstone always took a bit longer to mine.(meaning they changed the mining time in 1.0.0) Also, it is very common because when you need to use it for a project(not just doors) it takes more than you would think.
If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 99% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 1% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens.
dont think you can ever have enough redstone, if i could make a swimming pool out of the stuff i would
theres so many projects that require huge quantity's of it thats whys theres alot
^^this.
Once you get into the wonders of redstone, you can never have enough. You will need it to make resdstone torches and repeaters, as well as to lay out all the wiring. Even for a smallish project like a sugar cane farm you can use up two or three stacks of the stuff. For a major railway station, an automatic bank with minecarts, etc., you had better have a chest full of it.
Redstone is abundant. The only extra work is going deep down to get it, plus the long mining time, of course. I have multiple involved redstone contraptions by now, and I still have a large chest full of the stuff, and then some.
Redstone is just a Little Harder Ore to mine but it doesnt take to much longer then most ores. Obsidian Is the hardest block to mine.
And it can be used for random stuff. You can use it to power Pistons, Minecart Rails. You can also use it to wire a switchs and buttons.
You can also make an automatic Farmer using them
