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).

Azurite (Warped forest exclusive ore)!!!

   The warped and crimson forests are great, on the surface. Underneath the Netherack however they’re both the same as anywhere else in the Nether. So to add a greater sense of variety and uniqueness, the Nether biomes could each have their own unique ores. Focusing on the Warped forest specifically though, I bring you Azurite. Azurite would appear as an ore with dark teal flakes, encrusted in Netherack much like other Nether ores. Azurite generates slightly less frequently than Nether gold and Nether quartz, and will only generate in warped forest chunks. Azurite would appear in medium to small veins, and would require an iron pickaxe at minimum to actually receive an Azurite gem. Each Azurite ore block would drop one individual Azurite ore, and even more with each level of looting.

Here are some potential ideas for Azurite:

A block of Azurite can extinguish players on fire when stepped on.

When a Azurite block is held in the offhand the player will receive haste I.

Azurite can be used as quick cure for the wither effect when ground into dust.

A furnace can be surrounded in Azurite can be used to make a Mystic furnace, which rewards extra experience points per items smelted. Items that normally give little to no experience when smelted will now give some experience as well.

(P.S I’m not fully satisfied with the uses I came up with, so if anyone has their own ideas I’d be happy to hear them)

    I like the idea of azurite blocks extinguishing players on fire. There isn't too much of a way to do that in the Nether, so it'd make sense. I only think that for what it is, it needs more uses than just putting out fires.

    Your ore could be made into a ingot by mixing a gem and qruatz in a crafting table, then being added to iron in a smithing table. The armor or tools would be as strong as diamond, but easier to enchant.

    I figured Azurite could also be turned into a powder that the player can eat at a speed similar to dried kelp that would cure the wither effect. I'm not sure that'd be enough though.

    Perhaps the mystic furnace wouldn't require a furnace to make, so in Nether only challanges you can actually get Netherite Gear by smelting ancient debris in one. (since cobblestone isn't available)
