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).

Template Items and Blocks (Templates!)

Templates are interactable game objects with no inherent properties that are used as the foundation for making custom items and blocks. Templates can have their properties changed in a JSON file within a datapack to define what happens when breaking, placing, and interacting with them as a block or right and left clicking them as an item. Textures for these objects would be added directly to the datapack instead of needing an additional resource pack.

    That's what I was thinking! Block and item templates would revolutionize Minecraft and datapack making forever. Maybe even template particles for custom ones.

    The template block could have infinite blockstates (or just a lot). Players could edit the block properties through a datapack like mining speed, blast resistance, loot table, and more.

    But textures with datapacks eliminates the purpose of resource packs and that wouldn't be good.
