Block of Redstone
Redstone Block compresses nine dust into a permanent power source — the most compact way to deliver constant signal in any circuit.

Description
Redstone Block is the compressed storage form of the dust that powers Minecraft's electrical world. The recipe is straightforward: nine pieces of redstone dust arranged in a 3×3 grid produce one block, and conversely, the block uncrafts back into nine dust on the crafting grid — a perfect-loss-free way to compact resources for transport between bases.
What makes this block more than a storage device is its electrical behaviour: when placed, it emits a permanent signal of strength fifteen in all directions, the same as a powered redstone torch. This makes it ideal for compact circuits where a constant signal is needed but space is tight, such as inside compact pulse generators, redstone clocks, and contraptions where running a separate torch would interfere with adjacent components. The block is also pushable by pistons, which opens up moveable-power-source designs.
