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).

Corn: Let’s discuss!

Corn is an important part of everyday life, and it would fit in perfectly with minecraft. You could obtain corn from the plains biome by breaking cornstalks. You would then get a corn-cob that you could eat. You could even make corn mazes and trails with the stalks, and a neat feature would be that if you broke the bottom or a layer of the stalk the top would fall of like bamboo. This could fit perfectly into the dry and barren plains biome.

    I agree with corn and corn mazes and corn cob. Like bamboo, it should not be something you can walk through. I also thought it would be good in the plains. Instead of breaking like bamboo, though, I thought it would be neat if the whole stalk(which would be 2 or 3 blocks tall) would stay in tact, allowing you to put it elsewhere for decoration. Once you mined it up, it would turn yellow instead of greenish yellow. Each stalk would take up 2 spots, so you could have a stack of 32. And another idea I think would be great: you can make corn out of the cobs, which you could then plant, OR, make popcorn in a furnace.

    You can get corn from it using left trigger, and using shears you can mine up the stalk. If harvested at night, you get blue corn cobs (and subsequently blue popcorn kernels). The stalk should be a single 3 tall thing, and you can plant it elsewhere after mining it up (it won't produce more corn, though). You CAN walk through the stalks, but it is like cobwebs where it takes a long time. You can make corn mazes or other decoration out of it. Mobs could get stuck in it which would be scary but interesting.
    Corn cobs are what you get by harvesting. You can eat it and then chuck the cobs at enemies.
    Popcorn kernels can be made by drying corn cobs in a furnace. Popcorn kernels can then be used for planting, or tossing into a fire or lava. Once tossed in, a random amount of ticks will pass before it explodes into popcorn. The popping will scare enemies and passive mobs temporarily. You can then pick up the popcorn and eat it. It will add to saturation but won't fill you up much.
    You can also use popcorn to make a decorative popcorn chain!
