One of the main things that frustrate me about this game is that it's really hard to build a structure that is not boxy in shape and still have it look good.. To get any variety of organic curves or build at a 45' angle you must do so on very large scales or it just ends up looking like a mess.
One possible solution to this is wedge blocks. These would be blocks that show a smooth face at 45' angles. Instead of having a staircase on it's side appearance, you could put them into your build to smooth off that surface. You could easily make octagonal shaped towers this way that look far more aesthetically pleasing for instance.
The trick with this would be that you would need a wedge variant of nearly every block. A guy can dream though, right?
To further demonstrate my idea, number one shows the overhead view of an octagonal tower. Number two shows a forward facing view of how the tower would look in Minecraft as it is. Number three shows the same tower using wedge blocks.
Below the tower image is my concept in that you still have block objects, but portions of them are transparent, thus not necessitating a rewrite of how the game works. One simply uses currently existing angle physics such as is found with stair blocs to position them accordingly.
Nop.
Game is boxy.
Sudden diagonal slopes would be a bit out of place.
And you can make most shapes pretty well given enough blocks
Lucky for me this is an ideas section where neither one of our opinions are particularly relevant. Live with it. And like I said, you have to build on ridiculous scales to get that spheroid shape to not look like a cluster of squares. So, thanks for proving my point for me.

Not looking for support. Just throwing ideas out there. I'm as disinterested in your opinion as you are in mine.
Then why did you post this? The point of the suggestion forum is to gather opinions from the public who plays this game to see if the idea should be integrated into the game or not. Yet you posted not for the sheer purpose of the forum, but to just "throw an idea out". I saw where you were going with this, but apparently I'm disinterested, so I will simply put out another, "No support".

It's a board for posting ideas we'd like to see in the game. I'd like to see this so I posted it.
What exactly do you think is the value of wandering about threads saying "Support" anyway? If I wish to throw out an idea, I will do so. And you'll live to cry another day, I promise you.

Kindly get over the fact that your idea is trash, and we don't want to see it added.

Grow up.
You mean like you? Where I show up into people's threads to be insufferable for no reason? Thank god I got your advice! Here I was thinking the validity of my opinion was independent of the whims of a majority and that I was free to speak my own mind.
But no, please keep telling me what a game you didn't create "is" and what a forum you didn't make is "for".

It's called not supporting a thread. It's called not agreeing with every single thread on here. It's called stating my opinion. It's not being insufferable.

I don't think it's possible to have a perfect 45 degree angle on a block due to the game being made of pixels.
It certainly wouldn't be perfect, but could be smooth-er. It could only be as smooth as a single pixel line allows, which depending on the filters being offering in upcoming updates may actually be quite liveable.

You're immaturity would make you perfect for Roblox. Check it out on roblox.com.
They have wedges like this, and the forums are great for 9 year old kids like you!
Just check with your mom before you make an account.
Hey, and I just checked my profile, looks like you've been stalking me. xD

It would probably look very similar to stairs. Also how do you craft this and what blocks are applied to this?
Ideally all main building material blocks. I imagined them being crafted much the same way stair are. For stone, three blocks in an L shape that would output three stone wedge blocks. Maybe even 6 if you consider them to be diagonally bisected cubes.
Yes, this is a forum for throwing out ideas you want to see added, but the only ideas that Mojang ever sees are ones that have the support to be sent to them repeatedly, so being immature and "not caring about people's opinions" is going to get your idea nowhere, and if you really were just "throwing your idea out there" then you would not even be responding to this thread right now. So please, it would be much easier to discuss your idea if you dislodged your head from your anus, got off your high horse, and grew up.

You're still not going to get much support, as the vast majority of all players thinks sudden diagonal shapes don't fit minecraft.

How much are your parents paying your therapist? A lot? Can I be it?
On topic:
I would like to see this suggestion if it were more like a "Vertical Stairs" suggestion.
