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).

Nether Update: Nether Items Overheating Furnaces

An interesting mechanic that would encourage use of the Blast Furnace would be that nether items 'overheat' regular Furnaces. If a smeltable nether item is put into a furnace, when the item finishes smelting, the furnace explodes. However, this would not happen for the blast furnace.

Sorry, kids. You want your nether brick and netherite scrap, you need a blast furnace.

    Such a cool detail. 

    I feel like this would be a great mechanic! Adds a lot more dilemma. If they were to do this though, I feel like something similar should happen with Brewing stands. Like maybe Brewing stands could blow up and poison the player for a period of time? The harder it is to get, the worse it gets impacted by doing something wrong. Like a Blast furnace should not only blow up, but set fire to your house. That way having these things has a consequence if you don't use it right. 

    If I'm honest, Minecraft can be quite eventless when mini dilemmas don't exist. Little details like this need to be added in my opinion. Doing so would make countless stories. 

    For example a furnace could blow up and open up a wall at night letting in a hoard of mobs. It's far more eventful and gives Minecraft a lot more depth with just simple mechanics like this.

    I don't see a point, it would add needless frustration, and stone exists right next to lava tools. Further more that makes no sense physically. The item itself would need to generate the heat, which would also mean that it would burn the player. If nether items exploded in the furnace, so would regular iron and gold. This exploding furnace would be more at home in the nether.
