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).

Cloud Blocks

 The clouds in the overworld are useless, they pretty much get in your way! Unless, you can collect clouds and build with the cloud blocks. Maybe you need to use a special enchantment on your tools called "Sky Collector" that will allow you to collect cloud blocks.

Using the new cloud block you can combine a cloud block with a bucket to get an easy water bucket, and combining a water bucket with a cloud block will give a rain cloud block that will cause it to rain below where the block was placed.

And maybe on a storm, you can collect the clouds when it's thundering to get an electrified cloud block that summons one lightning bolt when it's placed and then it turns back into a rain cloud block.

Normal clouds sit on y=127, but what if the collectible clouds sat at y=255, that way you'd need to build up to collect the clouds. Also, you can go through cloud blocks.

    I like the idea, maybe it can be walked through and dyed, this can add so much more for builders, like smoke, fog, and other unique things! Much like a more tame version of this post? https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360042655871-Dyable-Fog-Blocks

    So, these cloud blocks would stay wherever placed? That would be great for building atmosphere into custom environments.

    Would these move with the clouds already in the sky or stay where they're placed?

    I want cloud blocks to be a block that lets you jump up and through it but not travel down, unlike scaffolding. Otherwise it’s sort of like a scaffolding block that doesn’t need support and isn’t useful for climbing. If multiple blocks are stacked on top of each other, you can only stand on the very top one. Anything under it essentially acts like a glorified air block. Perhaps using elytra could let you fly through the tops.

    I think the block should rise up into the air, though, and if a player stands on it too long, it will disappear in a puff of fog.

    Clouds would be perfect for builders. But I think as a simple block that you fall through. It could also be used to make a force field around a base that you can fly through

    Using a bucket of powder snow on the cloud could also turn it into a snowcloud, which would cause it to emit snow.
