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).

Different stone types have different properties

Currently only stone can be made into tools, etc. however, there are other stone types (andesite, diorite, granite) that have no other purpose than to look different. What about allowing these different stone types to also be made into tools, each with different properties - for example, granite tools last slightly longer and / or mine faster? Diorite swords could be more effective against skeletons, perhaps? Andesite spades dig fast but don’t last as long? Etc. etc.

    While stone types do deserve different properties and uses, new tool types does not seem to be the best method for achieving this.
    Granite could be used to create a higher temperature furnace in the event that such a thing is desired in the future.
    The different stone types based on their average compositions can be used to determine where different ores are more likely to be found if in the future there are more ore types or ores become scarcer.
    Different types of stone could be used for different types of arrow heads when creating arrows though this would require adding craftable fragments of the different stone types.
    Different types of stone based on density and hardness could and even should effect sounds.
    There are many wonderful possibilities some of which should be implemented.
