Hey people! Here are some of the items I though would be cool if they were added into the game.
Fossil
Looks like a white colored ore.
It is found deep underground, near bedrock.
Can be mined with an iron or diamond pickaxe.
Fuel
Made by smelting fossils. Stored in buckets.
Cannot be placed on the ground.
Can be used as coal in furnaces. (smelt 20 items instead of 8)
Batteries
Made by placing two pieces of redstone on top of one another.
Generator
Converts fuel into electricity, which is stored in batteries.
Modifier
A machine. Surround a piece of redstone dust with iron ingots to make one.
Powered by electricity from batteries.
Plastic Block
Made by adding fossil into a modifier.
Similar to wool, can be dyed but isn't flammable.
C4
Place a piece of gunpowder on top of a plastic block to make this explosive.
Bigger explosion and destroys more blocks, but does less damage to player and mobs.
Ignited only via redstone. Fire would not work.
Fireworks
Made by placing a row of gunpower on top, flint and steel :Flint and Steel: in the middle, row of cobblestone at the bottom and strings at the sides.
Powered by electricity from batteries.
When ignited, it shoots several multicolored fireworks into the sky. This would stop when it runs out of power.
If the fireworks hit any blocks, the blocks would be destroyed. (so don't put it in your home)
I like the first idea but the second one seems like a pointless replacement of coal, the rest seems more modernized and that's not where minecraft is going
Total support for the fossils, but they should look more like stone with a dino skull pattern embedded in it.
I also like the idea of plastic. You can smelt it to make rubber, which when placed, give you an extra bounce when you jump on/off of it. Anyone up for some Minecraft-style repulsion gel?
You could also use plastic to make tools. They'd be very weak, but last practically forever. So with Plastic Pickaxes, you can only mine Stone (and Cobblestone) and Coal. It would take some time, but the Pickaxe WOULD NEVER BREAK. This allows those few people to find fossils to save their Diamond tools for when it's necessary. And with a Plastic Sword, it would take 5-10 hits to kill a hostile mob, but it would last much longer than any other mob.
Maybe there could also be a Rubber Sword. It would do less damage than Plastic, but have a greater Knock-back. I'd enjoy it.
Everything else isnt really Minecraft enough. Batteries would be a waste of Redetone, as batteries die. You lost two pieces of Redstone for three days of fuel. Fireworks would burn everything down, ruining your world.
Wouldn't a Diamond Pickaxe just destroy the Fossil? Fossils are very fragile. It should only be mineable with a Wooden, Gold, or Plastic Pickaxe. Anything stronger would cause it to break into Ashes, which you can craft with a stick to make Ash Torches (sorry about the cruddy name). They light up more than regular torches, but can also start fires.

Is the Ashes.
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts. Diamonds for you.
