As you can probably guess from my title i'm thinking about paint. Okay so have you ever wanted to build a strong, multicolored house, but you couldn't because you cant color anything except wool. The problem with this is that wool is very flammable and it very weak, so i came up with the idea of paint.
I got my idea from snow, when it snows the snow covers the ground and it leaves a layer of white on top of the block it lands on, so how about paint is just like snow its a layer on top of the block, now you can build a house out of cobblestone, paint it and it would be strong and still look good. Or you could build with endstone, everyone knows how endstone has a higher blast resistance that cobblestone, but most people don't build with it because it just doesn't look good.
= bucket of water = any dye
Now paint would be crafted like this . With a bucket of water at the bottom and two of any dye on top. NOTE: YOU CANNOT MIX COLORS, this isn't dyeable leather, the two colors have to be the same. After you've crafted it you would get a bucket of paint.
Now to use the paint you need a paintbrush which would be crafted like this. =string =stick
To use the paint you need to of course have the paintbrush in your hand and a bucket of paint in your inventory, for right now you can only carry one bucket of paint at a time because i dont know how the game is suppose to know which paint bucket you want to use. When you want to paint a block you click on it with the paintbrush and the paint will cover the block, you can easily destroy it like snow. Items can still be put on the wall that is painted. Each bucket of paint will be able to paint 20 blocks before it runs out. It will have a health bar like any tool, when the paint runs out completely you will be left with an empty bucket.
So yeah thats my idea, hope people like it or at least give it a chance.

Great idea! And then we could get colored glass, and then we'd get to make rainbow houses! Like the paint bucket and every other tool, the paintbrush should also have a health bar.
I've seen this post before, and I still agree with it. It would certainly improve the game to be able to have colorful blocks of any type.
