Redstone superconductivity

When placed on ice, Redstone Dust could have a slightly higher distance to the signal sent, as reference to metals that have little to no resistance on conducting energy when at a critical (cold) temperature.

    Wonderful idea although maybe it would need some kind of metal (copper) added in to kindof make it a little bit more bulky and more late game

    I have this idea, it was written for a post, but I think it's best to comment right here, I think it has to do with your idea.

    copper-enriched redstone powder:
    The copper-enriched redstone powder would preserve all the mechanics of the current redstone powder, the only difference being the fact that the energized redstone pulse can disperse more easily. Thus, a redstone torch can feed a row of 15 redstone powders, in a row of enriched redstone powder the torch would have the ability to energize more than 15 powders away, perhaps doubling to 30 (the definition of this new value, I believe , be closely linked to programming challenges).

    this is very interesting because, in addition to reducing the use of signal repeaters it also allows for a more accurate use of comparators, since, with a greater amount of signal intensities the comparator can show more nuances with the enriched redstone than it would be possible to do with normal redstone. I already have ideas for this new feature.

    suggestion for its manufacture in the Inventory's "Crafting Table":
    two restone powder plus two copper nuggets would form two enriched redstone powder.

    It could transmit a signal farther when on packed Ice, that way it takes the silk-touch enchantment, (and a LOT of time) to actually make it go farther.
