Tbh I couldnt quite think of a perfect way to crwate such a block yet.
But yes this Would be a dirt block. I think the best way to make it would to incorporate a bucket. so you have multiple dirt blocks say 2-4 and put it in the bucket. i am not quite sure how to use something that would be logical in making a sloped block so I guess just pour out the bucket into a spot you want to be sloped.
Requirement would be must be placed on hard flat surface. And must have a block to slope up against as well.
i may just be making no sense but it just came into my head to be a way of beautifying a world.
if anyone has suggestions on how they would do it feel free to post.
A block with this exact mechanic is already in minecraft. It's called stairs. They adapt based on the solid sides near them and create sloped walking. All that is required is that a block with identical coding gets retextured to look like sloped grass of various styles. This would be so freaking easy to put in...I'm really surprised it hasn't been done actually, and if it is done it should automatically generate on the surfaces of landscape to smooth out the terrain look.

So, make a block world, where literally everything is made of blocks, have a slope? This is dumb. It would ruin the feel. Heck, it would ruin minecraft.

Sorry, no support.
It wouldn't necessarily. He's just talking about a covering of dirt that slopes together a bit more. He's not talking about trees, rocks, mines, or anything else. This would be like having a naturally generating stair dirt block appear which is textured to to look like dirt. As the stair block adapts to the edges of surrounding blocks it would smooth out terrain height changes in grassy areas. This actually makes sense as dirt (being a sediment) tends to settle and smooth things out. But one shovelful and it'd be obvious it was still blocks as really it is just exactly like stairs. If he's talking about smoothing out blocks then I would disagree too. That's kinda the point of minecraft as blocks make it easy to build.

I know but from a mechanics standpoint they are exactly the same. If it's done it can be done like stairs to maintain the blocky feel. Think of a dirt-textured stair block. I could see it artistically working, but I don't really care if it gets added or not.

Slabs would be the easiest change. I was talking about the equivalent of a stair block as that's already implemented and would be easy to copy. I hope we aren't talking about triangles. Minecraft has purposefully avoided ramp-type blocks.

Stairs are decent. Slabs are great. Ramps are a big no-no.
I Guess slabs would be the best solution. I wouldn't want a smooth surface in minecraft I was just spitballing ideas. I just want something to make grass transitions look better and be easier to move along if you deem it worthy
sorry it was quite vague I was just spitballing my ideas as it happened. I agree a slope is completely unmincraft and would ruin the game. However there were many great ideas with grass slabs. I think that would be the best solution

And if maybe
If I keep rolling balls

Just a thought.
Would it apply to dirt as well?

Slope is kind of different then stairs.

I thought the OP was talking about Grass/Dirt Block Slabs.
Yes. cause I totally spread gold bars on my toast...

No Support, not now, not ever!
Also, this is a bit vague.
He's talking about triangular slope. Perfectly smooth 90o angle.
