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).

Certain Things Change Depending on Material Used

You can craft stonecutters using stone, granite, andesite, etc. However, the base of it stays the same gray color no matter which stone you use on it. I think that, in an effort to make a little sense, stonecutters should have different colors for the base depending on the type of stone you used to craft it.

 

This can also go for chests and, to a lesser extent, crafting tables. Crafting tables changing depending on the wood used for them isn't as important to me, seeing as how they're an iconic and irreplaceable part of the game. But chests are always changing (and gaining new variants, such as the copper chest and its oxidation levels). It makes sense to have that change; not only to make sense regarding colors, but to add some decorative options. 

(This may make it so double chests become an issue to have with two different wood variants. I can think of two ways to go around this: One, it could simply be that double chests will still work even with different colored chests. Or two, similarly to the oxidized copper chests of different levels, how you can't combine those, it could just not "click" and become a double chest if the wood variants are different. There may be more solutions though, and I'll add feedback here that sounds like a good solution.)

 

I'm sure there are other items and blocks I missed on here, but to put it simply, I think that things that can be crafted using different materials should have different colors depending on the material that was used to craft.

    overal more colorful options could be really nice for decorating, color matching and color coding (especially chests and barrels), many mods add color options for chests, and them being just different color with same pattern is all fine by me, we dont need necessarily new patterns and designs, like doors are getting for each wood, just new shade and color is nice too, with chests may be issue however then sheer amount of chest boats supposedly required if they would keep chest color and boat color independent, cool for expressing your favorite design, but not sure how performance/game friendly it would be (maybe would be no issue), and we would have to get as many trap chest variants

    being at it, barrels also having color variants could be nice, or book shelves, item frames (frame and leather background as well)

    I surely would like to see dark furnace variants since they can be crafted of blackstone and deeplate too, only issue there could be, I guess, uninitiated players assuming it is stronger furnace or something, while it isnt

    more material-dependent blocks would surely be nice to have more options to match within builds of different types

    Yeah, these are all great suggestions actually (and the boat chest does prove a problem. Perhaps you could only craft boat chests of the same variant?).

    Furnaces and barrels having variants sounds very feasible though.
