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).

SULFUR AND THE CUBE FEEL LIKE A MOD — PLEASE STAY TRUE TO VANILLA MINECRAFT

This update feels like a mod, not vanilla Minecraft. I love new content, but this doesn’t fit the game’s identity. **The problem:** **1. “Sulfur” is too real.** Minecraft uses fictional names (Redstone, Netherrack, Glowstone). Sulfur is a real chemical tied to gunpowder and poison. It breaks the fantasy feel. Rename it to something like “Brimstone” or “Cinderite.” **2. The Chaos Cube is too complex.** Vanilla mobs are simple: creepers explode, skeletons shoot. A mob that absorbs blocks and changes physics based on the material (ice=slippery, wool=light, iron=heavy) requires memorization. That’s mod-level depth, not vanilla design. **3. The whole style feels off.** From the name “Chaos Cubed” to the mechanics, it reads like a mod page. Vanilla Minecraft is subtle and intuitive. This update is loud and complicated. **Suggestions:** - **Reduce the chaos.** Minecraft is about building and exploring, not unpredictable chaos. Tone down the randomness. - **Simplify the Cube.** Give it 1–2 fixed behaviors instead of absorbing every block. Or make it a rare miniboss. - **Simplify the content overall.** Less complexity, more of what makes Minecraft timeless: intuitive systems that anyone can pick up. - If absorption stays, add clear visual cues so players don’t have to guess. - Rename Sulfur to a fictional material. Minecraft has thrived for over a decade because it respects its own design identity. Please simplify this update and keep it vanilla.

    so make a new boring mob and we should replace water because it is in real life. also the sulfur cube is literally not that complicated you put a block inside it and depending on the block it does different things. you could overcomplicate any mobs features. enderman pick up only a specific set of blocks and also teleport and drop a special item when killed that lets you teleport and doesnt like water.
