Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Custom blocks using a datapack

Hi I think it would be amazing if you could create a custom block using a datapack. Datapack creators now a days use armor stands with a custom item model on its head in order to create custom blocks. But this very laggy if a large quantity of these custom blocks are placed. If we got this feature datapacks would be a lot more fun and would even rival some mods. (I also hope we can add a custom inventory to these custom blocks, and mabye even custom crafting).

    Custom inventory: design a chest’s inventory. Custom crafting: already available.

    This feature should be added so badly! Same goes for custom entities...

    this times 1000! having custom blocks added, even if they only at the moment can only be used for decoration would make life so much easier for people trying to add custom blocks for vanilla players that either don't want to or can't install mods

    I think a simple way Mojang could do this is just by adding a block with a whole bunch of block states so that you can mix and match the block states and give each one different textures. Right now people do that with note blocks but players change those by right-clicking them, which is a problem. 
    It would also be nice if one of the block states (or components) was what the block is best mined with, but if that's complicated I'm sure people would be okay with that coming later or being split up into a few different blocks with the same block state concept

    It would also be good if we could add textures with resource packs and in these datapacks we could add new NBT tags and new block states.

    We have paintings, so why not blocks?
