Mud, a new semi-aquatic block

Mud:

Appearance: Dirt but with less noise.

Function: Like soul sand in that it slows you down.

Drops:Dirt unless with silk touch, then mud.

Forms: When water and dirt touch.

Purpose: Fun and making the game more realistic.

Update: 

Appearence: slightly lighter than image below, and 15 pixels highSounds: place: slime block place noise, same with break, but more sand-y/dirt-y sounding

Function: can be tilled to create farmland that doesn't need water, at least for a while, drys out when smelted/in nether or not touching water in the over world for maybe 160 or so ticks, you sink in like you would AFK while in lava VERY slowly, and always having at least one mud block fully beneath you.

Commands: has tag "dryness" which dictates how fast and how much you sink in it, as well as its textures darkness and "noise" , has tag "candry" which dictates if it, well, can dry out.

Note: If grass cannot spread onto mud, put grass can become marshy ground which looks like grass except with mud where the dirt is and darker grass, behaves like dryer mud that drys out slower.

    Dont know why this hasn't gotten more attention, I was actually just looking to suggest it myself, but I saw you beat me to it. 

     

    Would be nice to have the mud blocks 15 pixels high, similar to the path blocks and farmland, creating a bit more depth to the game. I dont think mud should look like dirt, though. I think mud should look a bit wet, so a darker color than dirt. Would make a good block for mapmakers too!

    Would be nice if mud drops mud balls when harvested with the hand, whereas silk touch tools give the block itself. Mud balls/ balls of mud would be throwable and do 0,5 hearts of damage :P

     

    Also check the mud balls in Biomes O Plenty: https://lifeinthewoods-minecraft.wikia.com/wiki/Mud

    Great Idea, I think it should be possible to collect it using a bucket (like lava). By putting a mud bucket into a furnace, 4 dirt blocks should be created... not very usefull, I know, but realistic

    I don't think it should be a block. I think it should be a liquid

    Dried mudbricks would be nice too.

    You should only sink in it (slowly) if it is deeper than 1 block.

    Mud should slow you down, but I don't think you should sink in it like the picture.

    If mud is dirt that is touching water, would it be able to be tilled into farmland?  Since there is usually water touching dirt in a field for hydration purposes.

    Would grass also turn into mud, or would the fact of grass growing on it keep it more solid?

    Maybe, when you break the mud block it should place water where the block was (because the mud holds water). That  might also make it easier to get water.

    It sounds interesting with liquid mud, but I'm not sure which I prefer.

    Maybe bubble columns could pass through it but still be a solid block, like many when bubble columns pass through you begin to either sink or not have the slowdown effect that normally would effect you depending on the direction

    I'd love it to be flowing mud. Then make it possible for dirt generators when mud flows onto lava, similar to a cobblestone generator. (For those who like Terraforming in survival)

    I dont like having mud around lakes all the time, instead maybe when it rains the ground turns to mud?

    There should be an odd squelching noise when trodding on or placing/breaking mud.
