This new update is interesting with the new command blocks and new small selection of blocks it offers in my perspective, but for a few years now it feels like Minecraft doesn't really listen to the "builder's" needs in the game. Surely there were barrier blocks that became very helpful in building restricted areas & stained glass with eventual carpets but I feel like the builders are being left in the dark in updates lately.

Here's a small list of things Minecraft needs in terms of functionality with detail in the game:

• Stackable slabs of different type of block would be game changing in the detail world.

• Colored lighting could add atmosphere in both survival and in building.

• Vertical slabs are a given.

• Signs that could be placed on the ground and ceiling could give labeling things a fun touch.

• Carpet-like leaf details for the ground would give depth for forests.

• More slabs for more blocks, adds excellent detail.

• More ores, stones, and mineral blocks, after all; it's MINEcraft.

This topic might be beating a dead horse, I also am interested in other input from you guys as well. I know Minecraft is widely known for being survival but it was once originally a sandbox game and a lot of us still treat it as such. 🙂
