Who else thinks a decorative block like Marble could really improve your creative structures?
There are all kinds of shades of marble but Black, white and/or redishbrown would be the best choices.
I can see the comments now about texture packs and using one with marble textures in it, but I am talking about a new block.
One could also craft it into a pillar like block, half steps and stairs.
It would be slightly uncommon and hard to break (Steel or better) and would come in large formations
Nice idea! My opinion in implementation would be too have it be crafted by + :obsidian:(black streaked marble) , (Brown grained marble), (Speckled grey marble), or netherack (red swirled marble) in the or naturally formed in caves. This would have to be implemented like the wool where they all share the same block ID though different textures. Another problem is that it would be hard to make it look that nice with only 16X16 px. Although as a texture pack maker, I know that it is possible and that it would be a lot of fun to try to texture. (I would be willing to attempt to make textures for them as an example of how they would look in game if you want). Anyway, these are just my thoughts. Brilliant suggestion and I hop it gets added.
