Ok, to be clear, I'm not talking about tiered storage blocks (9 iron = 1 block, 9 blocks = 1 new block, etc.), I'm talking about making blocks more universal.
By this I mean that, while you can make a lapis block, you can't do the same with redstone or glowstone (not at a 1:1 storage:reclamation rate), or with rubber. Just let us store these resources in a way that makes sense.
Also, and I know it's a little more out-there, but possibly powder-blocks, to prevent us having to smelt our copper and tin to save inventory/chest space before realising that we need it for bronze stuff further down the line.
Recipes: Same as other storage blocks.
