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).

Protective anti-grief block for builders

It would be a block that would give a similar effect of a beacon (infinite area effect) but it would be a really strong Mining Fatigue effect so people in the area of the block can't break anything.

It could be made out of really end game loot (obsidian, diamonds, etc) and something to do with the Elder Guardian (because it gives a similar effect) and would only be accessible by the player who activated it (maybe by a key that you create in the block itself, so people would still be able to kill the person who carries the key and deactivate the block and in the case of the key being destroyed the block would deactivate).

Even though it is more focused on multiplayer survival PvP it could actually give some intereresting tools for map creators.

    Actually, I thought of this one more as a command-block issue for map-makers, but not only a means to produce mining fatigue in an area (which a command block can do) but "jitter" as an effect that is the flip-side of mining fatigue: you "jitter" too much to *PLACE* a block. The Jungle and the Desert Temple both suffer from, "I know how to easily defeat these with my trusty pickaxe." When I see a Desert Temple, I know what block to hit and dig straight down until I get close enough to pop the pressure plate, loot the precious TNT, check the loot in the chests, jump-place blocks back out and I'm gone. Zero danger. With the Jungle Temple: Pick-ax everything & loot, easy-peasy.

    Eldrielphor's suggestion takes care of the "pick-ax everything" problem. "Jitter" would solve the "jump-place blocks to reach things or block dangers" problem.

    Adventure mode is the "easy" solution to have this for map-makers. But if we want "Survival Mode for all except THIS area" such as generated Temples and Dungeons, a better tool to do JUST THAT would let Mojang make serious, interesting, challenging new dungeons in Vanilla. Even if this is done in command-block, "Anti-grief" for limited areas in Vanilla would be a huge boon.

    it would be very cool if you can just place a specific block and protect a land from 40-64 radius.
    basically itll just make any player to set to gamemode adventure so that theyll not gonna break stuffs
    minecraft is a block placing not command typing..
