Why can you only craft clay into bricks? Why not fire the clay block whole? And why should fragile flammable wool be the only colorable block?
I suggest that people be allowed to dye solid clay blocks, simply by combining dye and a clay block in their crafting table.
If smelted a clay block would become a fired clay block. If you dyed it before firing it the fired clay block would retain that color.
Unlike wool, a fired clay block would be as strong as smoothstone and it wouldn't be flammable. However to make up for that it would have the same Achilles' heel as glass: once placed it can't be retrieved. Breaking fired clay shatters it and returns nothing.
It would also be nice if we could have bricks of different colors. Why not allow dye to be added to the traditional brick recipe to return bricks of different colors besides red?

Not useless. Colorful blocks that have the durability of stone. Great if you want to make something colorful but not have it burn away like wool.
Texture packs would only be ok if you didn't care about keeping other blocks in the game.
