Gunpowder is pretty useless unless you are constantly making TNT or splashable potions. So I'm thinking that gunpowder could also be placeable, like redstone. It would be charged the same as redstone (Redstone Torch, Lever, Button, etc.) and once it's charged, it'd create a small explosion in a 2x2x2 range. It would also damage any nearby mobs or players. You should also be able to link it to or from redstone and have it be able to charge TNT. It would be pretty neat to give these extra traits to gunpowder so it serves a greater purpose in the game.

There is another use for gunpowder. Fire charges. You forgot those.
First: I just did. Guess what, nothing comes close to this idea.
Second: Search is useless and very rarely turns back helpful results.
I personally like this idea. If it was put in right, it could be pretty cool.
Well, I think we all know that the search function is crap, so I take that back. It is still redundant because I usually see at least two "Gunpowder on the ground to activate TNT!" a week.

Yeah thts true. Gunpowder doesn't really need any extra effects to it. I mean, more explosions, that's wht creepers n tnt are for!

I went against INFINITE Creepers and Spiders...I AM STILL ALIVE! WHT!
...and once it's charged, it'd create a small explosion in a 2x2x2 range.
Also, this would be a really cheap alternative to TNT by the way you're describing it. You're saying it can be powered with redstone and it creates an explosion in a 2x2x2 range. Well, here's a quote from the wiki I think you should read.
The TNT blast will propagate according to this formulaf=e-r, where f is the force of the TNT blast after propagating through the block, e is the energy of the blast before propagating through the block, and r is the blast resistance of the block. Thus, the explosion propagates farthest (7 blocks) through air, which has a blast resistance of zero. However, TNT immediately enclosed in stone will destroy an exact 3x3x3 cube originating from the center of the blast.
Notice that TNT makes a 3x3x3 cube and according to your idea, one gunpowder creates a 2x2x2 cube of damage. TNT takes 5 gunpowder to create, so it would be ridiculous for Gunpowder to do that much damage, both in Minecraft, and in real life.

That's why this is a suggestion thread. My idea is open for discussion and adjustments. How about a minor explosion only damaging nearby enemies, taking off 1 heart?

TNT's blast radius is not a 3x3x3 cube. When encased in stone, it breaks a 3x3x3 cube. It's trivial to presume that Gunpowder would not break its full 2x2x2 blast radius in stone.
Epicness vs Blaynem, Enderman vs Enderman xD
OT: Well I do think that Gunpowder needs some more uses, its just.. well.. I'd be using core on my server a ton more if gun powder did have that feature, plus for (non griefing) purposes, a 2x2 is kinda weak, huh? : P
Meh. Lever + TNT seems better. And that small of a blast radius seems pathetic.
No support.
You can use it to trigger TNT instantly, actually.
This won't take any extra programming. TNT goes off instantly, or nearly so, if destroyed by another explosion. Since gunpowder in this suggestion explodes instantly when charged...
I am ninja'd far too often.

didnt post it though
but it would be a smaller explosion than 2 by 2
1 by 1 XD
