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).

The Depth Meter

The depth meter is a new way of measuring your 'Y' coordinates so that you can find a level to mine in, and many more ideas.

This item can be crafted using six iron ingots, 3 placed vertically on each side, one piece of Redstone to go in the middle, and copper on the top and bottom. Best combined with a compass.

This will make vanilla mining a breeze!

    There's kind of a way to do this already. On Java Edition, just hit F3; Bedrock Edition allows you to turn on "show coordinates" to show your y-level, and Legacy Console (if you still play that) shows your coords when you pull up a map.

    @WeightedDig6048 You have a point. I didn't know how to turn on coordinates on Java, but now I do, Thanks, lol.

    To anyone saying that F3 could just be used instead, really the same could be said about a bunch of other items in the game that has been added. Maps, compass, lodestones, whatever. It's clear Mojang doesn't care about the debug menu when designing items. This is a perfectly valid suggestion.
