About this Mod

Ever wondered why breaking redstone ore gives you dust instead of something more solid? Better Redstone changes that! With this mod, mining redstone ore will drop shiny Redstone Shards—just like you’d expect from an actual ore. Collect shards as you explore, then craft them into redstone dust when you need it. It’s a small tweak that makes mining feel more realistic, but still keeps all the familiar vanilla mechanics you know and love. Perfect if you want a fresh touch to your Minecraft experience without losing that classic feel!
