/fill Command for Multiple Block Types

I use the /fill command a lot in creative mode and something that I’ve needed for a while but isn’t in the game is a way to use the /fill command in order to place different block types. Currently, you may only select one block, and then how you would like it filled (solid, hollow, outline, replace, etc). I would like an addition to this command that I would be able to select “Multiblock” instead of “Hollow” or “Replace” and then list the block types desired. This command should support up to AT LEAST eight block types in the command. Also, if the player wanted different amounts of each block, they could specify here as well instead of always having an equal amount of all the blocks. For example, if I wanted to fill in a cube with 60% smooth stone, 30% stone, and 10% chiseled stone bricks, I would type the command as: /fill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ minecraft:smooth_stone multiblock 60,minecraft:stone30,minecraft:chiseled_stone_bricks10 Also, if a player wanted a specific amount of blocks instead of a percentage, they would be able to by putting < > around the number, which would change the number from a percentage into a literal count within that fill.

    I have wanted this recently for uncovering nether fortresses. I have had to use separate commands for removing netherrack, lava, blackstone and basalt. Maybe an addition to the command that allows you to specify blocks to keep in an area as well would be beneficial.

    This is an amazing idea, and I would love to see it implemented. Because I love building and having it randomly spread different types of blocks would be such a time saver.
