My idea for Minecraft is that Notch should make it so glowstone dust can be used just like redstone, except it glows in the dark, so mobs don't spawn inside your redstone(glowstone), and i can overlap with redstone, allowing you to have 2 different redstone(glowstone) contraptions on the same block. So you would no longer have to make sure no redstone touches that which it is not supposed to. Just use Glowstone dust. If this would be allowed, i believe that this will make it so much easier to wire up contraptions with two wires that won't interfere with each other. I hope i made my point clear, if not reply and tell me so.
I don't like the idea. Glowstone and redstone are very different, and the idea of them being the same thing really isn't the greatest idea. Glowstone dust is for making glowstone blocks only, and that's how it should be.
Glowstone dust=redstone
