Oxidized gold and iron blocks just like copper

Gold and Iron should have stages like copper since they also oxidize with time. As well have the different block types like stairs and half slabs. When put in water or rained upon oxidation will make the block change slightly quicker.

    One of the reasons gold is such a valuable material in real life is because it doesn't oxidize.

    Generalizing the aging system to all the blocks (where it would make sense) would be nice, though. Even if it would multiply the block count by quite a lot.

    This would make sense for iron but not gold, as pure gold doesn't oxidize in real life.

    This will remove the special feature off of copper and make it into another useless ore.
    This is the same with copper stairs and slabs....

    exactly, even iron doesn't oxidise although it does rot

    iron oxidizes, it is called rust. Also, it would not oxidize at the same speed as copper, making it not remove copper's "thing." Also, copper has a cool color, and it can be used in the spyglass & lightning rod, which makes it not useless. In addition, iron is more valuable for armor and tools, so copper would be a better building alternative.

    Pure gold doesn't oxidize but iron definitely should oxidize in game

    I am a bit late to this. I agree with the fact that gold should not oxidize. 
    However, I do think that the ability to get Iron to oxidize would be a cool feature. This would give a rusty brown color, useful for a lot of builds. Extra building blocks, made from already existing blocks, I think is a great idea.

    On another note. I think that placing copper near gold should make copper oxidize faster, as it would in real life, as well at copper will oxidize slower near iron. :)
