Base Blocks, Items, and Entities to use to create Custom Things

If you can't define NEW blocks/entities/items with data packs, why not add a base block (or item or entity, but I've already said that thrice) to give custom data to and be able to modify to your heart's content, such as bounding boxes, preferred tools, entity type, rarity, texture, block states and more. This would revolutionize servers. Imagine it. You log onto Origin Realms and all the sudden... There are slabs and stairs for all your favorite custom blocks, such as Limestone! (Not only that, but they also wouldn't be note blocks, so you can't just be able to interact with them for no reason.) I just want java to be a little more mod friendly, because you canceled that API. Wish you didn't, it would've made modding so much more accessible.

    FIRST! 

    Now for some actual feedback, I love this idea, and it is great. Some people have also thought about a data-driven registry that takes these base blocks and puts into them a set of properties and then logs them into a list that can be modified to modify every block in the game! What would also be cool is if datapacks could use java class files to make "native" functions for blocks.
