Seeing as how I apparently cannot suggest 2 different things in one post I'll just stick with the good one.
But firstly a quick little note before you lock me up again, this is for the mods so if you are simply a member feel free to skip it HEY MODS, I AM AWARE THIS IDEA HAS LOOSELY BEEN SUGGESTED BEFORE. THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS A FEW POSSIBLE USES NOT PREVIOUSLY BROUGHT UP, A NEW BLOCK AS WELL AS A CONCEPT LOOK FOR THE BLOCK, AND 5 ORIGINAL SCREEN SHOTS USING CUSTOM MADE GRAPHICAL EDITS TO HELP VISUALIZE THE IDEA. NONE OF THESE IMAGES HAVE EVER BEEN USED BEFORE BY ANY OTHER MEMBERS AND THUS THEY ARE ORIGINAL CONTENT TO ADD TO THE SUBJECT. THE SIMPLE FACT THAT MY SUGGESTION SHARES SOME QUALITIES WITH OTHERS DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY ENTAIL THAT I HAVE NOTHING NEW TO ADD TO THE TABLE AND THUS SHOULD BE LOCKED OUT OF POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS AND ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE DOING YOUR BEST TO HELP KEEP THIS SITE FROM BEING OVERRUN WITH THE SAME OLD JUNK. THIS IS WHY I STRIVE TO ADD NEW CONTENT TO MY SUGGESTION TO SET IT APART FROM THE OTHERS. THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO KEEP THIS SITE WELL MODERATED AND FOR READING THIS WALL OF TEXT BEFORE BLINDING CLICKING THE LOCK BUTTON.
This suggestion if for an additional use of an already existing item, gunpowder. As many would probably assume it would be placed almost identically to red stone, but to active it one end would be lit with flint and steel.
(simple example of look and two items activated by it)
Unlike red stone the entire line will not immediately active, but rather slowly burn out, much like you see in cartoons and tv shows. The gunpowder would not be too fast, but quick enough to let a small line burn in an efficient time. My suggested speed is that it would take about 10 "redstone tics" worth of time for one block of gunpowder to burn out.
After a line of powder is burnt it cannot be retrieved, and the line would be used to
1. Activate TNT
2. Light Nether Rock
3. Create a temporary moving light source as the fire burns down the line
4. Movement distracts hostile mobs, who will follow it (usually to a TNT doom)
Simple specs
1- Line burns at about 10 "redstone tics" a block
2- Light emitted by line would be about equal to that of a redstone torch, but would flicker quickly
3- Line would not light nearby blocks on fire, but will light a Nether Rock block that it is directly connected to
4- Gunpowder is destroyed when it comes in contact with water or moving pistons/blocks
5- Mobs will be distracted by the moving fire so long as it is closer to them than you are
6- Like torches, burning gunpowder will melt nearby snow and ice
7- Lines can be place next to redstone, but they cannot cross and they will not directly effect one another
8- Gunpowder CAN be lit by redstone though a "flash block" (pictured 3 pictures below)
(the quick burning animation used)
(and the end result, right before the KABOOM)
(custom skinned "flash block" lights gunpowder when powered)
("flash block" powered and gunpowder lit)
Lastly I'd like to say that all images above are simply tweaks with textures, and that I currently do not have a working mod out. If you are a coder and you wish to work on something of the sorts feel free to message me at any time.
Alrighty, edited with the "flash block" sprites, although I feel that these may just be a temporary place holder. Do you guys think I should keep it in the style of the furnace and dispenser or try a new look altogether?
After looking at time in game I'd have to agree. Edited the original post to 10 tics.
Now it would take 1 second to burn down a block of this gunpowder. How about only 5 in-game ticks (an in-game tick is 0.05 seconds, a redstone tick is 0.1 seconds).

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.
I have to say, this is one of the more thoroughly thought-out conceptualizations of this idea that I've seen. I really like the idea of a gunpowder "fuse". Not sure on the flashblock, though. It seems a little limited in usefulness. Maybe if it could do more than just light gunpowder?

Thank you. I figured I'd have to being rather thorough to set it out from every other 3 sentence suggestion.
I actually rather like this suggestion. Hmmm, well I'll think over other possible uses. If anybody has any feel free to share them.
