Okay, so we can pack iron and gold and diamond into blocks for storage. Thats awesome if you get lots of iron and the other items. But whats irks me is that there's Coal and Redstone, and you tend to end up accumulating MUCH MORE of these things if you mine everything than iron, gold, lapis, and diamonds.
So why can't we put these 2 very common minerals into storage block form? And yes, we can make them useful outside of storage and building purposes as well!
(In case if you don't know what a storage block is, that is when you take 9 iron, gold, lapis, or diamond and create blocks out of them. You can decraft these storage blocks into 9 of the material and recraft as much as you want as well. :biggrin.gif: )
Anyway, here are the uses for the blocks! (Besides building)
COAL STORAGE BLOCKS
**They should look rough, like lapis lazuli.
- Burns forever like Netherrack (you would still use Netherrack because its much easier to get)
- When used in furnaces, you will get 9 x the smelting time of 1 piece of coal
REDSTONE STORAGE BLOCKS
**They should look very shiny, like gold or diamond blocks.
- Will send out redstone electricity signals like a redstone torch, except it is a block. These would make redstone contraptions much, much easier to create, because then you can just use a block instead of a redstone torch.
Below is an optional suggestion that comes with redstone blocks.
- Redstone blocks will send signals, but cannot be turned off like torches. However though, you should be able to create Redstone Energy blocks. This would be crafted with 9 smoothstone around 1 redstone block. It would be like a redstone block that can be turned on or off.

I would like to suggest that a block of coal would be able to cook a full stack of blocks. It would make it more convenient but at the cost of 1 coal.
As for the redstone block, the first use you suggested can be useful for more compact circuits but i don't see a point for the second use.
One of the good things about this idea is that red and black non-wool blocks can finally be placed. The uses you suggested seems quite reasonable and therefore I'll give you my support

Optifine is awesome!
Now, when can Notch start using 3D instead of linear chunks for minecraft? It would massively improve performance, and increase height limits by hundreds of times. There are mods out there that do that already.

And how is netherrack easier to get than 9 coal?
What about charcoal? Could you craft it into a charcoal block?

May wanna check your math there, bud.

8 smoothstone, not 9.
