You should be able to craft any block with redstone to make it a redstone block. It would look exactly the same but give off a slight glow when punched (like the ore) but not when walked on or powered. The block would conduct redstone current like regular wire, but you could use it to make cleaner piston doors and traps that aren't extremely obvious! It currently takes a ton of extra space if you want your house to have redstone circuits in it for various tasks, but adding redstone blocks would make it much easier and cleaner :smile.gif: .
As a bonus, OPs could make indestructable circuits with bedrock + redstone!
Oh, and you could STILL use redstone as a more precise conductor since it can do many things that these blocks would not be able to do (like logic gates) because redstone has more "rules" governing what it powers and what it doesn't. Also, changing redstone circuits would be much easier. If you still think this is overpowered, it could be 2 redstone + a block to make it, but I don't think it's overpowered.
The crafting is a moot point, combining blocks with redstone is an ingenius concept, and I really think you should make a page on the Mojang get satisfaction site to get people interested in it, this could be revolutionary for Redstone.
Not to mention it could make some very pretty floors without having to use Redstone ore as a floor.
Thanks, I'm posting it now.
UPDATE: Well, their site is really weird. I can't even find the "post" button, but I'm looking for it.
I like it, but redstone torches should no longer power any redstone at it's base, or else it would be impossible to use those blocks and redstone torches.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
Please click the dragons, they need to grow. Also, my fully grown dragons can be found in my bio.

Why, can't you just have the torch on top of the block powering it?

Normally, you can do that just fine. If the block powering it is redstone, the torch powers its base, which powers the torch, causing the torch to burn out.

Oh, and I thought it would be better to also put this here: http://getsatisfaction.com/mojang/topics/redstone_any_block_conductive_block
Please support that page if you like the idea since Mojang never reads these forums here.
