So I noticed just the other day that redstone blocks essentially act in a manner similar to redstone torches. We already have this function with redstone torches, why would we need it in block form? So my suggestion is simple. Make redstone blocks act in a similar manner to redstone itself. I think it makes sense as it is composed entirely of redstone and would allow players to easily create vertical lines of redstone by using the blocks. Not sure if this has been suggested but I think it's a good idea. If you agree or disagree, please let me know in a detailed reply.
Personally, I would like to see it function as the "legit BUD switch" that the devs talked about when they were planning the redstone update. For my money, there are too few times when the current redstone block could not be substituted with a regular block receiving power when it's pushed next to a torch. By contrast, having a proper update detector would greatly compact circuits and eliminate the need to rely on bugs in the redstone mechanics. Plus, it makes logical sense. Redstone ore is reactive to changes in the block, such as being struck or walked on. So it would make sense for a large compressed cube of redstone to be an even better detector.
No support. A block cannot tell what you want, so it either powers or does not power. Let's keep it like this.
If it were a separate block, it would be fine.
The concept of an "alternative function" is that it will change the function, replacing the current one. I do realize that perhaps it won't gain support but I felt that it was a suggestion worth throwing out there. I do realize that both functions are not plausible.
