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).

Olives & Oil

Olives

Olive stones should be found in naturally generated structures such as Woodland mansions, abandoned mineshafts, villages e.t.c. If you plant it on a non-tilled block, it will eventually grow into a three-block tall, three-block wide olive tree. When the olive tree has fully grown, the olives are punched off the tree and you will receive 1 - 5 olives. Once the olives have finally regrown, you may hit it again and the process keeps on cycling. If you mine the tree it will not become a dropped item, however, if you mine it with shears, you will be able to collect the tree itself (instead of waiting for the tree to grow).

When you put a regular olive in a crafting table, out you get a pitted olive and an olive stone that is in the crafting input area which you can take out. Villagers also trade pitted olives and olive stones with players.

You can't eat an olive, but, you can eat a pitted olive gaining 3 hearts, and 4 hunger points.

Oil

If you put a glass bottle and a pitted olive In the crafting table (the olive being above the bottle), you will get a bottle of oil. Oil can be used as fuel in a furnace to smelt 5 items.

It can also be found in pools deep underground at ore level. Oil in pools can be collected with a bucket then put into a glass bottle. You can walk in it, but you will walk at Soul Sand speed and you could swim in it, a little bit faster than Soul Sand. Finally, If you put oil on fire, it spreads rapidly, like bone meal on grass. 

Thanks for reading!

    This is a little over powered but I do like the idea of olives. Perhaps it could be used to light lanterns.

    I like this idea, however, I don't think eating pitted olives should give you 3 hearts. It should just give you the hunger points.

    I was going to make a post about this too, but looks like you have done it for me. =)

    I'd love this, I'd also love if they included olive green dye with it.

    I think it would look like this:

     

    It would be a cool unique shade of green to mess around with!

    This would be great but have olives grow in the taiga biome or in the mangroves, perhaps even with its own type of tree. Olives can be used together with a bottle or a bucket to craft olive oil or eaten by themselves. Olive oil can be used as fuel for a furnace and also another added item, oil lanterns. Another source of oil should be an oil sand block found in the dessert. Oil sand block can be heated in a furnace to get crude oil or sludge. Sludge can be useless until crafted into a bottle of oil the same way olive oil is. Oil and gunpowder should also be able to create an ignitable fuse. Something like red stone when laid out on a block. Oil sands should also burn when lit by lava, lightning, flint and steel, etc. when the oil sand block has finished burning, it should turn to regular sand.

    Oil pockets could possibly be found in sandstone pockets in nearly every biome but only one to two pockets per biome. Dessert biomes may have more.

    Oil could be heated in a furnace or blast furnace to create tar. Tar can be used like slime on a piston to create a stick piston or made into a block. Tar block can have the same characteristics of deep snow when stood on and burned. When a tar block is burned it can ignite other adjacent tar blocks very quickly. Tar can continue to burn for a whole in game day.
