What about crystals?
They could be used as a special block, that can be turned into new things in the furnace, and as a conductor, or decoration, people can elaborate on this here.
A conductor sounds really useful. Assuming you mean it as when your redstone wire stretches too far and runs out of power you can place a crystal to boost the current, right?
Like so:
(Orange represents the furthest redstone current can travel)
Thought diodes were going to do that, you know, the upcoming feature.
What if:
Redstone connected to a Crystal would make a red laser that would project to another crystal (if the laser touches the crystal, it provides power) that would connect to an alarm system - if the beam is interrupted, the current on the other side dies and triggers an alarm. Or you could just use those to make a cool laser show. The laser will also cook/melt any items that stay in it.
Not only that, in minigames you're supplied with a "chisel" - basically if you use a chisel 'nd right click on a crystal you will get the ability to "cut" the crystal which basically controls how the laser acts inside (inverting current, directing laser at direction, splitting lasers, etc.)
That would be awesome, so let's say
Get the crystal to shoot at all 5 points positioned around the room using 1 redstone torches, 5 redstone, 2 crystals, and a chisel.
5-clock + crystal = laser show.

If facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens.
Crystals as a conductor doesn't sound good. I personally want copper (a heck load of it too), but I think it is to late to replace red stone sadly. Copper, the orange stuff that powers your homes, your computer, and your girlfriend (or boyfriend)... It isn't magical, but magical at the same time.

I am just a guy looking for good suggestions that are original, creative, and match the theme of Mine-craft. I have some mob ideas that I need help forming which is a community project.
When you say crystals do you mean: Diamond, Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, Barrel Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, or some other kind. By just saying: What about Crystals? you have left it pretty vague. Also, crystals ( to my knowledge) do not conduct well.
Yes, but the point is not trying to connect this game with real life, its to get real life things and expand on them, and the different crystals could just make different colours with laser shows
