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).

Make it easier to undo accidental log-stripping

Stripped logs now drop an item called bark, which you can hold while right clicking on the stripped log to put it back on. If you purposefully stripped it, the bark could be used in the composting bin, which would return bone meal just like flowers.

The reason I want this added is because way to often I'm building something in survival and I accidentally tap the wrong button, basically meaning one piece of wood goes to waste. Bark could also be used as fuel, as well as to create bark blocks. I personally imagine these as just regular wood with bark on the top and bottom, which would mean that it would make sense to add spruce bark, oak bark, and all the other tree types as well.

    Instead of just putting the bark back on you should have to craft the stripped log with the bark and a slime ball.

    please, minecraft... I build houses with a large majority of logs, Im usually holding an axe and I've gotta keep spare logs in my inventory at all times because I keep missclicking doors,chests, etc.

    I often fight with axes these days since swords Sweep Attack keep damaging entities I don't want to hurt. (Sweep Attack, though, is being made optional soon so that's nice)

    This sounds like a good idea. Accidentally stripping logs is super irritating!

    I'm also a player who used to prefer having an axe in hand, but had to change my play style to prevent unintentional stripped logs. A simple way to un-strip a log would be a welcome addition.

    With simplicity in mind, do not make it a crafting recipe (especially not with slime), and having multiple bark types also seems counter-productive. It should be a simple matter of, oops, then picking up the bark item and right-clicking back into place.

    Although honestly, I think it was a terrible idea to make an axe the default tool for stripping. I've been annoyed with this since it was implemented (and I'm not alone). If a different tool was used, like shears, it would be much less of a problem (I doubt many players walk around with shears in hand).

    I've been trying to figure out how the change the default stripping behavior with a data pack, but the solution has eluded me.

    Honeycomb is used to prevent copper from ageing, maybe honeycomb could also be used on logs to prevent them from being stripped.
