2 New Blocks every mapmaker needs.

Hey, so I am currently working on custom blocks, and that is when I noticed something that many mapmakers have already concluded.

You would normally retexture block states that share textures with others to create your own blocks. However, there are certain drawbacks
Problem1: The block hardness is fix
Problem2: You can't change the sounds of the block because blocks have sound groups.
Problem3: You will lose block states in vanilla


What we need:
First of all, the block hardness won't be a problem at all in the future because of the new mining speed attribute. We will find some cool ways to get custom block hardness :)

We need two blocks. One is light transparent, and the other one will let light pass through.
These 2 blocks have about 500 block states. It sounds like a lot, but note blocks have way more.

We cannot create our own stairs or slabs, but it would be a great start. If this system works, we can have more of these "pseudo blocks"

The only problem that is left is the sound. Since blocks have one sound group and are fixed for every block state, we have a different story here.

However, maybe Mojang has different plans and wants to open blocks to the synced registries.
