As a builder I am always looking for more building materials, restricting to only certain types of stair blocks/half blocks gets repetitive.
I would really like to see gravel half blocks, just because of the gravel paths going through NPC villages. The variances in elevation make the paths kind of awkward.
Obsidian block variances would be beautiful, right now it is hard to use obsidian successfully in buildings because it doesn't work so well with most materials. Wool half-blocks are a MUST, as they are such a versatile material.
Add stained glass too all of this and there would be almost no limit to what I would build.
Unfortunately this belongs in the suggestions forum.
BetterBlocks does all of this (except for gravel/sand/dirt) which is why I worship that mod, but I still don't get why it's not in vanilla yet.
Some blocks I can sort of understand why it wouldn't be. Obsidian is supposed to be the hardest material so I guess chiseling into stairs would be difficult (or something). Storage block for ores would make them no longer a storage block, but that's more of a personal choice. And glass stairs doesn't seem like a practical thing to have either. But still, the options should still be there anyway.
Actually I was surprised that any new slabs/stairs were made for 1.8. But seriously, Notch picks bricks of all things (even if the stone ones look kinda cool)? Really. Really?

Let's see if a mod moves this to Suggestions.
