Concrete blocks are a dream come true for pixel artists. The new concrete powder blocks make for more varied terrain in adventure maps (Ex: Brown powder for mud.), not to mention some interesting puzzle mechanics. On top of that, we finally have some more decent looking blocks to work with in our builds.

(Still waiting on more stairs and slabs…)

Terracotta blocks…

Black looks the best by far, not to mention it reminds me somewhat of the Twilight from Twilight Princess. Light gray would be amazing for futuristic builds, while white would fit perfectly in a chapel or something of the sorts.

Tl;dr: YES.

The concrete blocks and powder are neat and fill a gap of colors builders lacked. There has been no proper white. The clay is more of a cream and quartz has a texture the segments quartz blocks from one another.

My question is who asked for terracotta?

Like, in theory they are pretty nice but there are alot of other blocks that would be way more useful then these cheesy 70’s looking mosaics. Even if these blocks had better textures, there are so many other things that are lacking in the mine craft building palette.

Where are wood specific trap doors? More brick variants (how do we not have sandstone brick?!?), and just an increased number of slabs and stairs for blocks missing should be some glaring things ripe for implementation! Even different material buttons, walls, pressure plates etc would add a finer level of detail without reinventing the wheel! These are way more practical than these niche terracotta blocks. Don’t get me wrong, they have some potential and shine in specific situations, but if Mojang is implementing an update for builders, just adding some of the basic concepts already in game to different materials would be most useful/beneficial.

Just my quickly typed two cents 🙂

Paintings are my pet hate. Not are they a disaster to place, but there are shockingly few designs. I’ve spent ages trying to get the right image, only to accidently destroy it moments later because the task becomes monotonous.

My preferences? More head designs, a larger design of door (2×3?), a weapon rack of sorts, and some sort of steel ‘bar’ that goes across horizontally and vertically, that functions like a single pain of glass when placed alone, or side by side. Jail cells would look awesome, coat hangers, parkour, a spit for fires, bed frames, you name it.

Plus, a candle would be awesome. Just merge a plant pot in a crafting table with string and (slime? Clay?) and boom, something that would look far better than plastering butt ugly torches or giant lanterns everywhere.

Besides that, I can’t wait to tear down all my drab clay and replace with this concrete.

I don’t know… but I think this update may be titled, The Decoration Update, or The Designer Update?

This will be nice if it makes the cut on release day
