Well, I had an idea. Might have already been posted, but I can't check, what with the broken search bar and all. It was semi-developed in another thread about gems.
Anyway.
I think that Gold and Diamond blocks should emanate a sort of "sparkling" or "twinkling" particle effect periodically. I'm not sure how else to describe it, so I hope you can picture it.
The blocks we have now are just ugly yellow and teal Iron block recolors; there's not much point in placing them anywhere, unless you have a taste for gaudy. I'd hope that possibly adding a particle effect to these blocks might make them more of a desirable building material.
I'd suggest that diamond blocks should be "redone," to look more like gems; again, nothing special, but perhaps they might be turned from teal to a translucent icy-blue or blue-white? [Credit to Ygdrasel, who had suggested a diamond "recolor" in the other thread}
I don't have much else to add, so... Comment, flame... Whatever you'll do.

Are you always so pessimistic?
Yes, yes I am. A pessimist is always either right, or pleasantly surprised.

Egads..this is World of Warcraft meets Battlefield 1942 in a dark alley with way too much to drink and no discarded mattress nearby.
I've offered this suggestion plenty (as well as recoloring diamond to a transluscent white). Full support, provided anyone that builds a monument to Edward Cullen gets locked out of the game entirely and forever.
Anyway.

Incompetence is a plague. I am the cure.
For all your wolf suggestion needs, I present the WOLF MEGATHREAD!

Yeah, I remember that.
... I should probably credit you for some of this. I believe you helped to develop it.
Well, that's a given. That's what the Universe does to anyone who'd do such a thing; why wouldn't the game?
I don't even use gold or diamond for anything decorative because, let's face it, they're shitty decoration. Uglier than sin.

Glowstone? More like turd-stone, am I right?
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
