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).

Top-to-Bottom Bricks

While not a very large feature, bricks that go perpendicular to the current textures as a seperate block (or even making bricks work like logs) would be great for visual variety. While technically this can be achieved by use of resource packs, there are only so many blocks in the game and if I had to get rid of a block for every idea I had I think that limit would be approached very quickly.

    I like this idea :D

    However it wouldn't make sense for use in walls as bricks are meant to be built from side to side for structural integrity, I understand Minecraft isn't completely based off realism but keeping bricks simple as a block has benefits such as ease of use and consistency.

    There is definitely uses for this though, i.e using as a floor, changing the direction of bricks would be very useful in that case.

    I think this relates to a bigger issue in Minecraft which is how differently each block is used in builds and the mechanics behind each block. I think if the Mojang team focused on creating a block similar to the carpenters block from the carpenters mod. Something like a block you can change to properties of (with a tool) which can have the skin of any block you want. This would help a lot of builders out in the game without them having to edit every block to have different properties.

    Carpenters block mod for reference: https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/1288875-carpenters-blocks
