Recently the Redstone block has been added as a power source, I think it should be a Redstone transmitter, like Redstone wires. What it will do it when it receives power it transmits power to adjacent Redstone block or wire but not to anything else. Here are my reasons why this would be a better use
1. Redstone blocks are the same as Redstone torches. Why waste them
2. Redstone blocks would create vertical Redstone which has been suggested many times
3. They create a freestanding Redstone transmitter which would be useful (which would be less useful as a freestanding power source)
It doesn't even need to be modified but if you use a different crafting recipe like (8 redstone and 1 gold (makes 8))

Creeper Hugging, Its fun but it might be the last fun thing you do
You know what? Players desperately requested redstone blocks, and even gave the Minecraft dev team the ideas on how it works. The Minecraft dev team had been racking their heads about it for some time, and it seems to me they only introduced it because so many people wanted it at Minecon.
And no, if you really think about it, there are plenty of practical reasons for it. I think of at least two.
One: It's a redstone power source that is pushable my pistons. That has all sorts of potential.
Two: It compresses your redstone. Now, you don't need to fill chests up with the stuff.
So, I seriously think you're in the minority here.

1. You can just block the Redstone current, I can guarantee that there is not a single creation that can't be done without Redstone blocks
2. This new idea doesn't limit that potential
Also I can think of five reasons for my idea (2 more than what I listed)
like they provide a second Redstone lamp option which creates additional options for texture packs
and they open up a huge opportunities for compresses Redstone wiring
I thought redstone blocks were going to do this until I actually read about them. LAME! I want this to be the function of redstone blocks. At the cost of using 8X the redstone, you should be able to do this. It would be especially useful for piston doors considering the frustrating requirements for pistons to activate.

- Torches can't be moved by pistons
- Vertical redstone is easy as is, the downside being it has a small delay.
- I don't understand 3...so when powered it functions exactly like a normal powered block (transfers the redstone signal to adjacent redstone wires)?
I created a one-use button with a redstone block just today. Many others can probably do much cooler things. Use your imagination.[quote=Badgerz]You have to keep in mind that people are stupid.
[quote=Catelite]Just because you don't understand how something works, doesn't make it broken or pointless. >_<
Full agreement with this.

2. Yeah but it takes up a large amount of space
3. Yeah but it is always activated which is a major flaw
That can more than easily be done without a Redstone block
