Nether concrete : a rework for the nether bricks set.

I like the color and texture of the nether bricks matter and I would like sometime to have it as something smooth.

Also, some natural blocks like soils, gravels, ... can be used as building materials, today (Dirt → mud bricks or turn it into clay for terracota, sand → sandstone, gravel + sand → concrete, ...). But what about magma blocks and soul soils ? I would like to use them for my idea.

New nether "bricks" blocks.

I decided to call the matter "Nether concrete" and rename "Nether tiles" the old nether bricks,. And I suggest smooth/natural, polished and bricks variants ( also availabe as slabs, stairs and walls).

 Without a stone cutter, blocks are crafted by 2x2 in this order : Nether concrete → Polished nether concrete → Nether bricks (new) → Nether tiles (old).

 I also would like them available with crimson and warped colours. 

recipe

Both of soul sand and soil can be used, magma block acts both as a glue and heat source for materials melting. Crimson and warped variants use the same recipe, but with a block of wart more, used like a dye and giving an use to them.

You can still melt netherrack into nether bricks, but it couldn't be used to make normal and polished variants.

Alternative to clay for pottery.
We could craft nether bricks with nether concrete blocks . At first because it's used for nether brick fences, and I also would like to see them usable to make flower pots and decorated pot using nether concrete texture. You could apply pottery sherds with the crafting table.
