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).

Lichen (Dirt-type Block for Snowy Tundras)

 

Lichen is a dirt-type block that naturally blankets the snowless and exposed patches of dirt in the Tundra Biomes. They replace the Grass Blocks of Tundra Biomes.

Renewable: Yes

Stackable: Yes(64)

Tool: Shovel

Blast Resistance: 0.5

Hardness: 0.5

Luminant: No

Transparent: No

Flammable: No

Catches Fire from Lava: No

Lichen generates exclusively in Snowy Tundras and Ice Spikes biome. A Snowless patch of dirt exposed to the Sun will grow into Lichen in Snowy Tundras. Lichens will replace Grass blocks as the new Top-Dirt blocks in Snowy Tundras and Ice Spikes Biome.

Obtaining: it can be obtained using a tool with Silk Touch, otherwise it drops dirt instead. Endermen can pick up Lichen blocks, and drop it if holding when killed. Wandering Traders have 1⁄6 chance to sell 3 Lichen for 3 Emeralds.

Usage: Unlike any other dirt variants, Lichen does not allow placement and growth of mushrooms, and sugarcane, however grass, flowers, ferns, and saplings can be placed and grow on them. They cannot be tilled.

Thanks for reading my suggestion, Have a Great and ''Lich-excellent'' Day!.

    I like this, but I think instead of it being a new grass-type block, it can grow stones, stone-based blocks, and trees. It starts out as a single pixel, and during each growth stage (20 Minecraft days?) doubles in size. It comes in a few different colors- russet (reddish brown), yellow, light green, dark green, gray-green, blue-gray, and blue. These are the kinds I remember from hiking (There's probably more).

    The color of lichen that grows in a single lichen growth stage is completely random, albeit weighted toward the types already growing on the block.

    We can replace the moss stone boulders in taigas with lichen stones, and of course it would grow on trees. It would also grow all over the hills and extreme hills, a little in the jungle, and the shores of Mushroom islands (being part fungus, part algae, it grows where algae (from the ocean) meets the fungus (mycelium).
