Mine Redstone Lamps Quickly for Redstone Builds

Why Use a Pickaxe for Redstone Lamps

Redstone lamps are essential for dynamic lighting in redstone contraptions, but mining them by hand is slow. With this mod, you can use any pickaxe to break them instantly, making it practical to dismantle and rebuild large lamp arrays.

How to Mine Redstone Lamps Efficiently

1. Equip any pickaxe — wooden, stone, iron, diamond, or netherite all work

2. Left-click the redstone lamp to break it

3. Collect the lamp as it drops

The pickaxe speed bonus applies whether the lamp is powered (lit) or unpowered (dark). This is especially useful when redesigning redstone farms or testing lighting layouts, since you can quickly remove and replace lamps without switching tools.

Pro Tip

Keep a pickaxe in your hotbar when working on redstone projects. You'll save significant time compared to breaking lamps with your hand or using an axe, especially when working with dozens of lamps in a single build session.
