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).

Craftable ores

It's exactly what it sounds like making the ores craftable. Now I know what your gonna say something like just silk touch it but please hear me out. So I really like to build walls in my home with gilded Blackstone but it's rather elusive and I don't need the nuggets out of it I simply just like the look always blending well with my Blackstone walls. so I suggest a way to craft it and maybe other ores if you would like to add them as well. Simply to make the ore you are trying to craft just take a couple of the ore or dropped materials of said ore and mix it with some cobble or regular stone and viola you have the ore ready to be placed decoratively <3. now I understand that this could potentially be abused by say fortune picking a single diamond block and getting more diamonds out of it than you put in but this could be solved by maybe giving the new block a separate ID than the normal ores and always making it drop just the block also making said block unable to be smelted now. or raising the cost to make to be more than can be recovered by fortune enchantments so it will never be a net gain just a loss if attempting to abuse it. I understand if this may be too much work for a simple flavor thing but it would mean a lot to me and make my gilded Blackstone decorating so much easier. If I could sacrifice a few nuggets and Blackstone to make my favorite block more easily acquired id be over the moon with joy. I honestly am willing to sacrifice a whole block just to make it <3

    I have an idea for the crafting:
    Iron, Gold, Coal, Diamond, Emerald: Checkerboard pattern of 4 ingots and 5 stone.

    Redstone, Lapis Lazuli: One block surrounded by 8 stone.

    Quartz: 4 quartz and 5 Netherack

    Nether Gold: 1 ingot and 8 Netherack

    Gilded Blackstone: 1 ingot and 8 blackstone

    Ancient Debris: 4 Netherite scraps/ingots

    Copper: Rusty copper block surrounded by 8 stone.

    These crafting recipes would be a net loss, but they would still allow players to get ores when they need them, and allow ores to be renewable.

    Could be a way to craft the deep slate ores that were just added, maybe even nether/blackstone version of all the ores.
