Oceans New blocks: Oceanic Sand - would replace regular sand and would cover most of the seafloor. Looks like regular sand but a bit "smoother" and has small specks of light blue in it. Transitions to regular sand near beaches. Sea Rock - it would look similar to sandstone but with fossils and shells imbedded in it, the rock itself would be slightly more brown than sandstone though. Can occasionally be exposed to add some variety to the sea floor. Coral - would look similar to dead bush but it's pink. Can only grow on oceanic sand and would very slowly spread out from each piece in a random way, so it would be able to grow up, to the sides or even down but wouldn't grow above the water's surface. These coral reefs would only be able to grow up a total of 50 pieces but can join with other existing coral reefs to make larger ones. Can be placed in the air but will not grow there. Seaweed - Looks like regular grass but a darker, richer green. They wave in the "currents" to add some nice aesthetics (can be turned off to if running the game in Fast mode) Needs at least a light level of 5 to grow. Kelp - This one is from Gastroids Community suggestion list, I'll just repeat it here because I think it's a good idea. "Kelp. Spawn only at the bottom of ocean biomes and grow until they reach light level 14 (just below the surface of the water). This means they cannot grow next to a torch, and can only be placed underwater. Essentially a very tall, underwater sugarcane. Possibly a potion ingredient." Clams - Take up the same amount of space as a half block and looks like....well a shell...can be destroyed to pick up the whole thing or by right clicking it opens up like a chest and lets you harvest a pearl! They take 3-5 days to make a new pearl, which can do something....I haven't thought up a good plan for these yet tbh, possibly another potion ingredient >_>
We have ocean threads by the billions, but I'll still try to give constructive criticism.
Oceanic Sand - Isn't this basically just wet sand? I don't really see what's so unique about this block. Sea Rock - I think there's a better name for this, but I can't think of it. It's okay, but might go farther with some block property uniqueness rather than just be an aesthetic block, which we have plenty of already. Not that that's a big deal or anything. Coral - Would be better/more interesting looking than the first two block ideas. It'd be like the dead shrub of oceans, but be more eye catching. Seaweed - Sure. Kelp - Technically the same as seaweed, but sure. Clams - Possibly the best part of your suggestion, because this adds the initiative to actually want to dive down deep to get these pearls or whatever.

The Unofficial Suggestion Guide - Everything you need to know to not make goofy mistakes in a suggestion! Honestly though, you should really go there.
So? Half Support?
Even better, slightly more than half.
