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).

Updated Map colors!

One of my favorite things in Minecraft is expanding my map wall, but what I've found is that there's no distinguishable difference in color for Savanna! It seems to me that this would be quite simple to implement, and I'd love to see it added. It's confusing to me when I see a lush green area on a map but when I go there, it's a dry savanna. 

Similarly, it would be nice to have a slight color shift for areas dominated by tall grass as opposed to trees. This is another confusing aspect to map reading.

    Other things I'd like to add on to maps as well as of:
    • choose-able map border colors. Since console users can't use mods, I generally allow someone to 'claim' an entire size 0 map as their territory. Would be nice to be able to assign like red, blue, green, ECT borders to maps so when they're displayed together on a wall as a big map, it's easy to identify who's I'm which map
    • functional wall maps. As is maps show wall mounted locations, but it'd be nice to see other players on maps displayed on walls. Would give reason for players having a map room too
    • a way to not be located on a map. If you want to keep your position hidden. Could possibly allow hidden location toggle that turned off if you hit a player

    Making grass and water on maps match the biome grass and water colors is needed for the upcoming dappled forest biome. Maps of the dappled forest show the grass as being bright green instead of orange. And it would be great to be able to see the different biomes on large maps.
