I love the idea, but I think that to combine red and bluestone dust you should just put both of them in a crafting square, otherwise you have to waste energy and time just to get a simple connection, and it should return two because you started with two, even if they were different kinds of dust, and put two purple dust back in the square to separate it again. Also, to change the color just put one in the crafting square and it will change. This eliminates the inconvenience without making it overpowered at all. Besides, nothing is overpowered if it doesn't effect your chance survival in the first place, so why try to defend against a nonexistent enemy?

So I'm all like, needs more visuals.
redstone/bluestone ore if they are separate ores and powderstone ore (the purple one or the red and blue one)which give both when broken.
Purple stuff purplestone powder when you mix the two via crafting.
Red stuff is redstone.
Blue stuff is bluestone.
In order to see it close up you'll have to download and view in paint/fireworks/any picture editing software
I don't know how to post pictures yet so I'm trying something.
Bottom left is good.
Purplestone is made by crafting. You don't find it in ores.
You no longer need bluestone for there is the invention of redstone repeaters. The only purpose of the bluestone is so you can have multiple channels of redstone wires not mixing together. Well redstone repeaters do just that in an even better fashion. This thread is no longer requiered.
I love the idea, put me down to support this project... But I may have to agree with a new color choice however. Green? Not so much... I like the idea of orange though, that's not bad.
Hope this gets implemented.

as long as this is true (I don't care how it is done, and I am probably asking a question that could be solved if I could read better...) then I support.
great idea i definately support. i read the earlier posts and agree redstone is cooler than wire. i have an idea though. it is just an idea and it probably shouldnt be implemented but im gonna share anyways so listen and plz dont take this as "! this would make it soooooo cool!"
you said that other colors shouldnt be implemented and i do agree but to an extent.
for example..... if you have ever opened "redstone powered" toys as a kid(lol) you fan see there are usually a tew different colors of dust. red green black yellow are usally mixed to gether powering different parts. usally a negative and a positive or others. you could do the same in minecraft. one switch that powers multiple wires together to a common area. that is just an idea of a possible way ifyou had interest in expanding to more wires.
another idea i had was that instead of one current of redstone carrying power( in a loop for example) back to itself
i know minecraft is a great game for nonfiction ( like u said punch trees and see how they float) but i think bluestone could possibly be a negative current and redstone be positive. for example.... you cant power a dispenser because the circuit is incomplete and open. you use redstone going in from a switch an bluestone out another side of a block to the same switch. i know it sounds kinda lame consideri g were tqlking about mnecraft but i was simply throwi g an idea out there for people to discuss whether they like it or not. please understand im just trying to give possible ideas
I still think copper should be added, but with purple dust wires you could make the electrical strength increase.

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.
I support this =) I was actually considering a different form of wire (Funnily enough, I thought of bluestone too XD), then I noticed the link in your sig. I reckon this would make circuitry a hell of a lot easier.
Mmmm, yes I could use this. I have already had to rework one of my redstone circuits because my wires got to close. Bluestone would have saved me the trouble. I also like that we wouldn't need new ore for it. By the way, do you have a banner or icon I can put in my sig?

Lapis Lazuli = Blue
Bluestone = MORE BLUE ORES????
