Minecraft: Pocket Edition has Redstone blocks right now in the Android beta
Sign-up for the beta if you haven't already
Mojang recently rolled out the first batch of Redstone blocks in the Android beta version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition with the 0.13.0 update.
We've been waiting for Redstone to make its grand debut in Pocket Edition for a while as it's a major stepping stone.
With Redstone you can power all sorts of devices in Minecraft. You can even make working circuits. It's kinda like bringing electrical engineering to the game.
In the current beta version, you're able to make Redstone Wire, Torch, Lamp, Levers, Buttons, Pressure plates, Tripwires, Trapped Chests, and Detector Rails.
It's not the full range of what Redstone allows but that's quite a bit of at least. You can find the full changelog of added features here.
If you want to mess around with Redstone right now you can do so if you have a compatible Android device and sign-up for the beta here.
Of course, the 0.13.0 update should be coming to the full version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition soon. We'll let you know when.
