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).

More aging blocks like the new Block of Copper + configurable aging speed!

You recently introduced the new Block of Copper, that is capable of aging with time. It is an awesome idea! :D

  • Make the aging speed configurable with a server-wide /gamerule
  • Add more aging blocks!

This idea adds a whole new depth to Minecraft worlds. They always looked frozen in time, nostalgic for sure, but not aging.

Even if I love the idea of abandoned houses collapsing down to the ground i think that this concept should not be implemented in a destructive way, it should simply be an aesthetic feature.

There are many ways in which a building can age: grow vines, grow cobwebs, disappearing blocks, ... but a lot of players could see this feature as something very annoying.

I think the best way to implement this idea would be to:

  • make it mainly aesthetic (just change some textures)
  • make it configurable (let us chose the speed)

Also it would be nice to have it affect unloaded chunk areas, some way. Without lagging out the entire server-side with blocks that are constantly loaded!

    I think this is obviously a great idea! The ability for things to rust when underwater or when touching water would also be a cool feature too I believe! And maybe when just touching water that side of the block only gets rusted and mechanics like that! And to note your idea of the disappearing crumbling blocks I would say that it could happen to structures like desert temples, strongholds and places like that! And I believe if these ideas were to be implemented the ability to paint walls and stuff like that would be really good! Maybe call it the decoration update!
