crushed dripstone

Make a block that is like a sand , but is "crushed dripstone" which can be crafted from either pointed dripstone or dripstone blocks. 

cooking crushed dripstone makes lime. 

change concrete powder to be made from 2 lime, 3 sand, 3 gravel, 1 dye. 

make an item that attaches to walls, ceilings, floors in the same way as resin called "plaster", crafted from lime, dye, and water bottles, which is stored in the glass bottle after crafting, and cannot be recovered even with silk touch after being placed. "plaster" placed on solid blocks completely hides the block, allowing for the coloring of sides of blocks. "plaster" can be used on a special block (similar to the loom) that allows for the crafting of small statues. 

statues can be designed by the player in a "mini-creative-mode" accessible in the special block, which gives the player a selection of monochromatic blocks (slabs, stairs, blocks, etc.) and a 16w x16l x15h area to design the statue, with the rules that the bottom layer cannot be removed and the statue must be connected continuously to the bottom layer. while designing a statue, breaking a block to disconnect the rest from the bottom layer results in all disconnected blocks breaking. 

statues cannot be of mixed colors. statues cannot be modified. custom forms can't be saved. forms can be found, however, are single use, some can be traded for, and some are extremely rare just like armor trim. There are a handful of default forms in the block, which can be edited before use.
