Since the 1.2.4 update, there seems to be three main opinions on the new colored planks:
-It's great that they're adding new decorative blocks, I love the variety!
-Planks are planks, I don't care.
-I can't find any trees I like, so I hate this.
My suggestion is to make colored planks craftable, but I don't mean having to search for dyes or anything like that. You could get regular planks just like you could before the update, by putting wood in a crafting table. However, if you place two (matching) blocks of wood next to each other, then you get 8 colored wooden planks. People who like the new planks could make as much as they want, and people who don't like the planks could go on playing like they always have.

I am one of those people that hate this, because I always use one type of log for decorating, and the other types for the rest.
I think this is a great idea.
Horrible. It's the same thing as with logs. If you want a certain type, you have to farm those trees to get the wood you want to use for building. People don't like it because it's different than before. They will get used to them and will be forgotten about.

This is the solution, instead of all wood doing this, it only happenes if you use a certain amount of wood. And if you havn't got the update yet, let me tell you. 1.2.4 is out. Colored wood is annoying. This will get rid of that annoying wood problem.
I used to use one type of logs for decoration and the others for crafting as well, but i don't understand ppl having problems with the new colored planks. I really like them the way they are. I dont understand why ppl just can't accept the things as they are in the game. that's the challange. If the game was like some ppl wouldlike, it would have nothing challanging left, and THAT would be horrible.
So, yes, it makes the game more difficult cuz u need to get more wood of the same type, but hey, new challange! Deal with it and stop crying! ;D
I don't get how half the posts here are replying to my suggestion. I was simply showing both sides of the argument, but that doesn't mean I hate the update (in fact, it's quite the opposite).

For people who don't like colored wood, they can just play like they always have. For people who do like colored wood, they just need to "farm" trees that have the logs they want. If they can't find any trees nearby, then they can go and search for one. If there just aren't any trees around (or if it's too hard to explore and get some saplings), then you're out of luck. I'm not trying to be mean to people who like the colored planks (I like them too), but you're not always going to have the trees, blocks, and ores that you desire when and where you want them.

It's the same thing as logs. If you want a certain type for building purposes, you have to cut down those types of trees. You don't just craft the birch logs into jungle logs.

I never said you craft logs into other logs... To get the color of wooden planks you want, you would just craft 2 of the same log on a crafting grid to get 8 colored wooden planks. If you try to craft a Birch log and a Jungle log, they won't make anything because they make two different types of colored wooden planks. As I have said before, if you can't find the trees you want then you have to either plant saplings or make do with regular wooden planks. I dislike having to repeat this, but if there aren't any saplings or trees in your world then you can't have the colored wooden planks you want. Having diamond blocks in my house as decoration would be very nice as well, but if I just can't get to any diamonds then I can't do that.

"Victory is like a watermelon. It's hard to spell and it tastes good."
These types of arguments annoy me in the Minecraft forum, where people seem to confuse opinions/wording and positions on a subject are as clear as mud. I could handle that if it weren't for people who always end up saying things along the lines of "People who think opinion A are complete idiots", and "People who think opinion B are clearly total noobs at Minecraft if they can't do this or think this would be helpful". Everybody has their own unique experiences, strategies, and ideas; and in the Minecraft forums I haven't found one suggestion or topic without posts like I've described.

You posted both sides of the argument, then a terrible suggestion that is obviously on the opposing side. I like colored wood the way it is, just now we new door colors, chest colors, boat colors...

I also like the colored wood the way it is, but I'm tired of other people complaining about it. I can't think of any clearer way to explain my idea, but people just can't seem to understand how it would be good for both peope that dislike the wood and people that like it.

"Victory is like a watermelon. It's hard to spell and it tastes good."
it's much better with the coloured planks staying how they are already (as of 1.2.4). if people don't like having to walk for ~1-2 minutes to find the type of wood they want then minecraft is probably not the game for them. People have been crying for an actual reason to travel to different biomes and now we have one.
also, if you're going to reply to his with the same stale scapegoat about how this suggestion is optional and how it can please both parties, then don't bother responding.

People hate how it will be hard to get the same color plank they want? Solution: Make any biome where trees grow more dense with a 1/2 chance of each tree. (pines are exclusive to taigas, so I didn't count them)
There was a nearby jungle, too.
