Ive only been playing minecraft for a few days now, but i thought it would be cool if you could have a slope block that is made of sand or dirt. It would have the same properties as a staircase, with the exception that it is made of dirt/sand and is rendered as a 45 degree angled "ramp". The dirt slopes will be able to grow grass and such, and they can be crafted just like a staircase (use dirt/sand instead of wood/stone). It would also be cool if these slopes could be implemented into the terrain generator, so that the hills and ridges would look cleaner, as well as make it easier to walk around. (I'm really tired of jumping everywhere!) Not only would these slope blocks make the gameplay easier, it would make the terrain look more fluid.
anyways, just a thought...
