Hello! I have noticed that the ratio of items vs blocks has been too unbalanced. Yes, we do have some new blocks but the cheer ammount of items that keep appearing with every update is massive compared to the number of blocks that get released. I would like this to become a list of new blocks that could be added to Minecraft. So hopefully Notch or Jeb can add them to the game. Please keep the ideas realistic and try not to drift away to fantasy island.
To make a point clear. I Do Not wish to take credit from anyone's ideas. I just want to put them at the top of this thread so we can have a list of useful things the MC developers can add to the game.
Please include:
Name of block
Special features/mechanics (How does it work, how can you make it)
i would not mind finding a block that is purely for show. one that is very rare and you can make you proud to find. XD then i can make a room just for that in my museum. XD
well since they are developing the neather some why not have special ores there? not any that you can use for armor and stuff, but why not some hellmetal blocks or crystal blocks that are as hard as obsidian and are semi transparent?? or maybe they could be going to add a biome or two to the neather
hell metal - harden metal found in the neather - no use other then building
crystaline - really freaking hard semi transparent blocks that could give of a negitive glow - can create dark pockets like an opposing glowstone block
Overworld block: shrub, Orange tree, Banana, Coconut and Coco bean trees, Grape and strawberry vines, Onion, Carrot, potato.
Nether Blocks: Shreiking Netherrack (it cries when your near it and screams when you mine it) Painful sand (slowly depletes your hearts when you walk over it and takes 10 seconds to dig)
Underground blocks: Sapphire, emerald, ruby, and amythest blocks (uncut gems upon mining it) (requires chizel to cut it)
I think there should be more minerals. But not for tools, because making another class of tools is pointless. Possibly for the alchemy stuff in 1.9. Frankly, I think there needs to be more colorful minerals. There should be emerald ore or amethyst ore, or possibly both. I think that they could also be turned into a decoration like how you can make lapis blocks
So... If I had an idea for a new block, why should I confine it to the space of a single thread where you can take all of the credit. It doesn't work that way.
If I have a suggestion for a new block, I will suggest it -- completely, decisively, and unabridged -- on its own thread.
When you go onto the suggestion forum, the idea is that you provide your own suggestions, not have people feed them to you.
I would've been much less harsh on you about this if you had provided even a single block with even a slipshod description. All I see is requests to milk other member's creativity. I won't stand for that, an no one should.
What I would suggest is for you to convert this into a megathread and maintain it.
Look at the various thousands of different threads related to mirrors, drainage grates, new ores, etc. and update as you see fit.

That is the whole idea of this thread. The title clearly states this is a PETITION. People give their ideas and I post them up top. It wasn't and never was my intention to take credit from other peoples ideas as their post CLEARLY states what their idea is. Why comment about something that isn't there. I DO NOT want to "milk" other peoples creativity as I have plenty of that and don't need anyone elses. If there is something you want to stand for, yoshi9048, please stand clear of this thread and avoid unnecessary comments.

Again, why would I wish to post my idea on your thread? A block is never a simple addition. It needs a purpose. How do you craft it? What does it craft into? What blast resistance would it have? What extraordinary features does it have? These facts alone can create a new thread.
Also a petition is a large-scale request for an addition. Lets say that I posted a block and my name gets signed to the petition. What if there's a block I did not like that made its way onto the list. My name is already inked onto the petition and I feel as though I've just been bait-and-switched. I fail to see how my comment was unnecessary nor do I see how this comment can be misconstrued as unnecessary as it is a legitimate concern.

I admit you do have valid points. You also have some bad ones. I'm making this list so they have one place to look for ideas on what types of blocks they could add to the game. I will post as many as possible at the top of this thread as long as they are good, well thought out ideas. However it is not my responsibility if they pick blocks that you or any other player likes if any. If you were to suggest a block and some other block you don't like pops up then you can ask for your name to be removed. It's that easy. Other than that it looks like you are in no way interested in this petition as you have criticised it ever since it was posted. If you are interested the post an idea and I'll be happy to post it up top.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Forbiden1~~~~~~~~ I got new stuff coming soon! We are finally in production!
I do believe the best use of this article could be of a sacrifice of time to find regularly suggested blocks and adding them to your list for quick reference.
That is basically what you're doing now, except instead of asking others to contribute, you are adding what's already contributed.

Retired StaffI have one.
Chairs that can be made out of wood. They will pretty much be as weak as beds.
Basically put them like this
A bomb.
