With the addition of the Happy Ghast, interest is yet again directed towards the ever-increasing issue of transportation. Many agree that Mojang have already shown that they are capable of fixing this, particularly in the Chase The Skies. Mojang have also proven many times that features from April Fools updates can be reworked and fully added to the core game. This is why I propose that the floatater, or a block with very similar functionality to it, be added as part of a later transportation or End-themed drop. By limiting the floatater to the End dimension, the Happy Ghast remains the perfect mid-game transport method. The floatater could be found in a broken form in End Ships. 9 broken floatater blocks would be needed to craft a "fixed" version. There is also the chance to not find a broken block at all. This new, End-based floatater would likely have the same 32x32x32 volume of affected blocks, but would be more configurable and intuitive, like the calibrated sculk sensor. The main configuration options would be to A: not be affected by immovable blocks, or B: be affected by immovable blocks. I understand that the floatater may not be revisited to encourage more piston and slime-based flying machine creativity, but a large proportion of the playerbase would appreciate this addition.
