So, with minecraft 1,5, we will be getting the nether quartz, and finally have a nice looking white block. Now, for a long time, I have personally wanted both a nice looking white, and black block. I think it would be a cool idea to have wither skeletons drop a withered quartz crystal, which would be a black variant of the normal nether quartz. The withered quartz could also be used to make new items in the 1.5 update if it was implemented. I believe it would be best for the withered quartz to be a drop, rather than a new ore to generate, as it would cause less commotion with the restarting of maps. Please let me know what you think of this idea
Maybe Wither Skeletons could drop a new item, like black brick or something, and craft nether quartz and that together and that makes the black block? Or maybe Netherbrick.
