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).

The Log Tip Block - a way to utilize the new bark texture

The log tip block is another variant of the log that has one side with the age rings and the other side with the new bark texture. It generates at the top of a tree to hide the unnatural age ring texture, and also underneath the bottom most logs of naturally generated trees representing roots. Player grown trees will not generate roots since they are young and it will break tree farms.

With this new block, the bark block will have its 6-sidedness back, and we can also utilize this new texture in our builds. Bark blocks on top of trees meant that the age rings won't connect, but using the log tip instead will solve this very issue.

The crafting recipe would be very simple. Just by crafting a single log block with a single bark block, you can get this new log tip block.

    At first this idea sounded a bit unnecessary and unlike anything else in the game, but, come to think of it, giant mushrooms already do something similar with the different variants of mushroom blocks. With that said, I don't believe that the block should be craft-able for the sake of consistency with the mushroom blocks.

    I'd also like to point out the log blocks of the tree that are not part of trunk, and the curved logs on the trunk of the acacia tree. If this idea is implemented, those blocks should probably become bark blocks for consistency.
