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).

Blaze rods in peaceful mode

Blaze powder is essential to beating Minecraft and obtaining an elytra, but sadly peaceful mode players can't get their hands on it and are unable to use many of the late game items such as potions, beacons, and the entire end dimension.

First off Blaze powder should be found in loot chests, specifically in only 3 places to make it fair, and even then only in small amounts: Ruined Portals, Bastions, and Nether Fortresses all spawn with loot chests and I think blaze powder should be a rare find as part of the loot table. Of course this means that peaceful mode players could find blaze powder and speed runners can cut corners without the RNG, but for potion brewing the average player would still have to go to the nether as the blaze powder from loot chests wouldn't be sustainable, and in turn would need to kill blazes.

My second idea was that the wandering trader could trade blaze rods. Although the wandering trader will not spawn in the nether (as far as I know) and can only go there if he is moved by a player, I still think it is a balanced way for a peaceful player to get items they'd need to kill for, such as blaze rods, gunpowder, ghast's tears, and other things that require hostile mobs. I think that this would be fair as it adds a new, renewable method for peaceful mode players to get more blaze powder for brewing, without being so over powered as to replace blazes.

    If you're playing in peaceful, you shouldn't expect to be able to get everything needed to beat the game.

    Candles simply won't shine light until they're burned.

    Yes it is only fair that those who desire to play only in Peaceful mode should be able to get the items required to finish the game, albeit just so much harder but yet accessible.

    For those who do not like violence (Enough of it in today's world) but who love the creativity in Minecraft should also be able to enjoy the game to the full. I know that Minetest offers that by default but does not possess the flavor that Mine craft offers.

    Having Mine craft the way it is now is like having a puzzle with a few pieces missing (A broken toy) and that is simply not fun whatsoever!

    I suggest a version of Minecraft that is peaceful to todays world standards without violent humans (as there should not be). BUT it should have dangerous animals in their rightful places to give the worlds a more realistic flavor.

    This world is indeed getting dangerous as each day passes would it not be nice that people did have a happy place to go without with out having to unnecessarily kill  something to achieve it?

    I doubt that there is anybody who will listen to this, but anyway...

    My kid (as a lot do) loves Minecraft but I will only let him play peaceful mode. He loves looking for things so he can craft new stuff and he is now stuck on the ender chest.

    It would be great for peaceful players to have full access to the game. Currently there is so much of the game tied to one hostile mob and its drops which are not accessible to a whole group of players/a play style. Potions, fuel sources, achievements, ender chests, the End itself (and therefore End-related blocks - end stone, chorus plants and their drops, end rods, shulker boxes, dragon's breath, elytra). It would be wonderful to have some way to access that whole section of the game without needing to use a set seed (with a filled End portal) to access the End. :)

    I would love to see this problem solved. There is so much you can do with blaze rods and blaze powders that it sucks that there is only one way to get it, and that is by killing Blazes which is a hostile mob. And Peaceful Difficulty gets rid of Hostile Mobs. It is like the one key that you can't find to unlock a new level. I love being very creative in Minecraft and I don't mind surviving and thriving but I don't like to hear another sound of a Creeper exploding near me.

    The best way to solve this would pretty much have it as loot in Nether Fortresses' chests. That is the most simplest fix by simply adding in Blaze Rods to the loot tables. Nether Fortresses are usually pretty hard to find and would require you to travel hundreds and thousands of blocks in the dangerous Nether Dimension. Of course you are in Peaceful Difficulty, so you won't get squashed by Magma Cubes or get yeeted by Piglin Brutes and Ghasts, but it is still SUPER dangerous when you have large lava oceans to journey across unless you have a lovely Strider. Another suggestion also to make Slimeballs a bit easier to obtain and the most obvious is put a chest in Witch Huts.

    The MOST important thing is to make Blaze Rods easy to obtain for players playing in Peaceful Difficulty. Mojang, please add Blaze Rods in Nether Fortresses' as one of the items in Chests.

    I enjoy playing on peaceful when I am building and exploring. I switch modes when needed. For blaze rods I plan on going to the nether in peaceful finding a blaze spawner and surrounding it with blast resistant blocks with a small opening I can shoot through. Then when I have enough blaze rods I'll save and quit and switch back to peaceful. My goal though is to be able to get good enough at pve that I can hold my own in the nether.

    I need this! I love playing on peaceful mode. It’s terrible that all because I play on peaceful I can’t beat the game without cheats. Please add this Mojang!

    Here's a third option. Perhaps Blazes could become Nuetral mobs in Peaceful, like the Enderman, Hoglin, etc. This eliminates the need to put them in loot chests, and still provides a challenge for those who intend on beating the game in peaceful.

    I don't have access to my computer most of the time, so I often play on Pocket. The deal with pocket, however, is that it is often difficult to fight mobs, especially in the Nether. Making the Blaze neutral in Peaceful would allow for both:
    1. Players on pocket to enjoy the game more without being scared of dying every couple seconds due to a smudge or water drop on the screen
    2. Players who are locked to playing in peaceful (parental rules, personal choice, etc.) to complete the game

    No matter what way it is done, blaze rods need to be obtainable in peaceful.

    I agree. The only things I want that I can't get in the game without killing a mob are blaze rods or blaze powder. There should be some way to obtain them without resorting to killing mobs.

    I know this is an old comment, but Mojang please, please add blaze powder to peaceful mode, either as something to find in looted chests or something or by turning the Blaze mobs neutral.  I may be a grown up but I really don't like hostile mobs (the noises, the jump scare when they come out of the dark) and I'm sure there are a lot of kids (and maybe some adults!) who feel the same and therefore prefer to play on peaceful mode.

    I would just like to be able to make my own brewing stand and brew potions with blaze powder without needing to activate hostile mobs in my game!  I feel like I'm being left out of this one activity because I find hostile mobs too distressing to encounter.

    Love this idea, Mojang should 100 percent add it.

    I see this as a HUGE Accessibility L which is very rare for Mojang/Microsoft. I know this was posted a while back but it's still true to this day. The people who play Minecraft as a "Cozy" game in peaceful should have access to the end. If we ever do get the end update people have been asking for there needs to be a way for Peaceful enjoyers to access this without having to change game settings.
