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).

Ores Should Have Upgrade Paths With The Smithing Table

Iron, and gold tools and armor are almost pointless once you get diamond and even more pointless once you get netherite. A way to give them more purpose and make you have to choose which tools to use and enchant throughout your whole experience with the game is to give them an upgrade tier with abilities distinct from enchantments like how diamond has with netherite. 

Like with diamond and netherite you would use the smithing table to upgrade them and the object would be rare but maybe not as rare as ancient debris. 

Just some concepts is that iron is built around fire and heat and builds on the idea of auto-smelting; gold is built around the games magic and tools maybe give more xp. Those are just some very basic concepts but I think upgrade paths that give the tools different purposes instead of being simply tier based would change up the dynamic and give more items to search for and ways to upgrade tools.

    This is a really great idea that will make the game more fun. Maybe also adding different new resources only achievable by exploration into the upgrading process.
