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).

Bronze Age

Minecraft: Bronze Age Update – Concept Proposal This concept proposes a new technological and crafting stage for Minecraft — the Bronze Age. It introduces metallurgy, alloy crafting, and early mechanical tools, expanding the survival and building experience. 1. Overview The Bronze Age adds a new tier of progression between Stone and Iron. Players can now discover Tin and Copper to create Bronze, unlocking new weapons, armor, and crafting mechanics. 2. New Materials • Tin Ore – Found near Copper deposits, smelted into Tin Ingots. • Bronze – Created by alloying Tin and Copper in a new Alloy Furnace. • Bronze Ingots – Used for crafting tools, weapons, and armor stronger than iron. 3. New Crafting System Players craft Bronze Tools and Weapons with a mix of Tin and Copper Ingots. A new Alloy Furnace replaces the standard furnace for combining metals. This introduces players to early metallurgy and expands Minecraft’s survival crafting depth. 4. Gameplay Features • Alloy Furnace: Combines metals into alloys (e.g., Bronze). • Smelting System: Temperature control mechanic for realistic metalwork. • Bronze Tools: Durable and efficient for mining and building. • Bronze Armor: Offers moderate protection and unique aesthetics. • Decorative Blocks: Bronze blocks, gears, and ancient-style lamps. 5. World & Lore Integration Villages gain a new building: the Foundry. Inside, players can trade. The update could also add ruins of ancient civilizations with Bronze relics and decorative items.

    This is cool but kinda incomplete. Bronze is better than iron so tin should be rarer too, having better but more expensive gear than iron but still easier and worse than diamond. Also the temperature mechanic is just anoying, that's a bad idea. Maybe making bronze neccesary to mine iron but that's also too much since it can ruin speedrunning and progression or just making iron only be smelted in blast furnaces along some other ores, but this could also lead to the same problem.

    Also, bronze and tin should have other uses. Tin could be used to make some new specific tools or decorative blocks and bronze too, having more lamps, bars and more, maybe also being the only ore that has iron-only tools variants like shears and shields.
