Copper Wire

Copper wire is, of course, in huge demand, but I have ideas regarding its creation and use that I would like to outline below.

For one, I have a recipe in mind, using copper nuggets (perhaps one ingot = 4 nuggets, in keeping with the copper block principle?).  The recipe in mind is:

[_][_][_]
[C][R][C]  =  1 Copper Wire
[_][_][_]

C = copper nugget
R = redstone dust

Copper wire would be set down much like redstone dust, but it would be able to send a redstone signal up 2 blocks of distance, rather than only 1, and would also be able to go across a 1-block gap (requiring 3 copper wire to do so).

Another possibility is that you can lay carpet over copper wire without disturbing it, perhaps with a small rise where the copper wire lays?  (I just think that would be a cool Easter Egg of sorts.)

Thank you for your consideration!

  Copper wire would also be good to combine with this idea, making a harder-to-break tripwire.

  I don't think laying carpet over wire would work but I like the idea of being able to send redstone signals through the air unsupported by blocks underneath.

  (There are lots of duplicate threads asking about copper wire but I chose to comment on this one because it provides the most detailed explanation of the poster's idea.)
