I have seen many a suggestion shot down because the suggested item or block is "useless" or "has no use". Whenever someone suggests a decorative block there are always a few people complaining that it does not explode or that you can't craft tools with it. These people seem to forget that Minecraft was made for building and decoration. Just because a block has no use besides sitting there looking good doesn't mean that it's "useless".

Agree.
Minecraft was made as both a building and survival/adventure game; additions and suggestions to both aspects should always be welcome.
Sometimes they may be bad. Instead of saying "it's dumb," try using constructive criticism to make the suggestion better.
Well said. I consider decorative purposes to be an important use.

@Theriasis: While this is a very good lesson to teach, it probably would be better qualified under FTC than your thread as it has to do with criticizing techniques (or lack there-of in this case) over making the thread.
If its an aesthetic block, yes. If it's a block of fermented spider eyes, no. It's not aesthetically pleasing and most people wouldn't use it, in addition to it being redundant and outstanding.

Why Minecraft mobs should NEVER have multiple attacks:
- No other PC mobs do. - Mob behaviour is intended to be simple.
Why you should NOT name new "special ability" weapons as "XXX Swords":
- No other swords have special abilities. - Make a new kind of weapon.
I really appreciate your saying this, as many of my threads have been ridiculed as people believe they are 'random and useless' even though some items have decorative or convenience improvement uses.

Many suggestions are swarmed with "no support" posts just because a block is purely decorative, or a mob just adds atmosphere, or making mobs have a chance of spawning with a different appearance.
If anything, there needs to be more suggestions that suggest decorative things.

I really like this, but this is not a suggestion (I know what your getting at, I have done things like this before). I hope that Theriasis adds this to his thread.
Well, decoration blocks will take up IDs that could be used for something else, unless I should’ve done my math and seen that it didn’t really matter.
Another issue with suggestions is the fact that I’ve seen a lot of suggestions shot down because someone posted either “L0L SUGG3STED B4 USE SEARCH FUNCTION N0PE SUPP0RT” or “L4WL TOO VAGU3 I DOES NOT SUPP0RT”. I really don’t get why these people think it’s so relevant.

Yes, I agree. I love many aspects of MC but none more then building and decorating. I love the new glass colors and wood and would love even more. I also love the new way to get mossy cobble. I also love the new flowers and greenery because it gives us more to landscape with. I say bring on more. I will never complain.
Does anyone agree with me?

Although I still think people deserve the right to believe that a block is "useless," 'cause not all Minecrafters are builders.

Well then it’d probably be to troll the players.

Those weren't intentional.
