  Might be good to have some way of crafting redstone ore, as it both is useful, and used as a building material. Would also be useful to have some way of crafting redstone and coal into blocks for more efficient storage.
  
  And making otherwise inaccessible blocks would be useful too. Something like "1 water bucket + 4 snow > # ice". Maybe something for sponge, because I've used it a lot in my building and have no way of doing that legitimately.

  I've had a couple of idea, which might make sense, but that said, might be unbalanced.
  
  1. Cobwebs. Yes, I'll accept that you can make them with a CraftBook Cauldron, but I for one can't make head nor tail of cauldrons anyway. So, in a 3x3 grid, placing 5 string in a diagonal cross gives a single cobweb.
  
  2. String. With the addition of getting sand from sandstone, it might fit to get string from wool (single block of wool gives string), so that wool can be used as a from of string storage. But, if this is considered unbalanced, then maybe the number of string obtained could be changed (to 4 or 5 perhaps)
  
  3. Saplings. As a form of safety net, although (mostly) unnecessary, crafting four leaf blocks (one in each corner) with a central bonemeal, to give one sapling.
  
  
  One for the future:
  
  Fire Charge: As a block that is only available in creative in 1.2, perhaps having these available to all might be a good idea. My idea for the recipe is one TNT block, with four nertherrack in a vertical / horizontal cross.

  Those are some nice ideas, but keep in mind, there's apparently no way to save/change blocks in the crafting grid with default Bukkit and vanilla client, currently. Depending on the response and/or future changes due to questions like these, I may be able to do stuff like that later.
  
  E.g., grinding Cobblestone into Sand by crafting it with Obsidian, then returning the Obsidian block into the grid. This also goes for water buckets emptying out instead of just getting eaten by the process.
  
  
  @hadleyr, for now, I'm going to have to pass on the String from Wool, since killing one sheep = best ranged weapon in the game, pretty much.
  
  @AHadley, I'll think of something for the Ore, but I'm not too sure about Sponge since they don't really seem to have a use, and I'm not sure if it ever will.
  
  
  EDIT: Updated first post.

  Hmm... Minecraft really needs craftable coal/charcoal and redstone blocks by default. It would be so much more useful.

  I would suggest diamond ore blocks, but then the small bit of those I have from the old Mining TNT mod would loose a bit of value.
  
  Sponge with Sand + Gravel would be a good idea.

  Why would you want to obtain diamond ore blocks?
  
  Also, sand+gravel is probably good, because materials along those lines are often used in industrial water filters.

  Why would you want coal ore blocks? Its all decorative.

  Glowstone blocks take up less space than glowstone dust; redstone/coal blocks (made with just redstone/coal) would do the same.

  Possibly, but I think it would make more sense to have wool involved, as sponge usually has a fiberous (if that's even a word) texture. So, my suggestion is (on a 3x3 grid) wool in each corner with gravel between the wool (leaving the center blank):
  
  W=Wool
  G=Gravel
  _=Nothing
  
  WGW
  G_G
  WGW

  I had an idea recently, that admittedly might be one to keep under wraps - as if used incorrectly, could lead to hell on the server.
  
  
  Spawn Eggs
  It can be a bitch to find a certain mob (especially peaceful ones if they've been killed or moved elsewhere), so if we could make spawn eggs, perhaps just of the peaceful mobs - to prevent griefing - it could be used to get mobs where the player needs them
  
  My idea for the recipe being:
  -Egg in the centre of the crafting grid;
  -Mobs main drop (leather, wool, raw porkchops, etc.) in the four slots directly above, below and to the side;
  -Colour wool closest to the mobs main colour (cow-black, sheep-white, pig-pink, etc.) in the four corners.
  
  This would give 1 spawn egg - somewhat expensive, but still reasonable.

  You've answered your own question. If you're that desperate for mobs, you could just ask a staffer.
