The primary mob known to drop Redstone Dust in Minecraft is the Witch.
Mobs That Drop Redstone
Currently, the only mob that drops Redstone Dust upon defeat is the Witch. When a Witch is killed, it has a chance to drop a varying amount of Redstone Dust, which can be further increased by using the Looting enchantment.
Witch Redstone Drops
- Base Drop: A Witch will drop between 0 and 2 pieces of Redstone Dust upon death.
- Looting Enchantment: For each level of the Looting enchantment applied to the weapon used to kill the Witch, the maximum number of Redstone Dust dropped increases by 1.
- With Looting III, the maximum amount of Redstone Dust that can drop from a single Witch is 5 (0-5).
This makes Witches a potential source for Redstone Dust, especially for players who do not wish to mine for it or have access to Witch farms.
