Currently, all crafting tables and chests look the same regardless of the wood used to craft them. It would add more variety and building possibilities if these blocks inherited the appearance of the wood type used in their recipe.
How It Would Work:
When crafting a chest or crafting table, the resulting block's texture would be based on the wood used in the recipe.
Examples:
- Oak → Classic chest/crafting table appearance.
- Spruce → Darker brown, rustic style.
- Birch → Light cream-colored design.
- Jungle → Warm reddish-brown tones.
- Acacia → Orange-tinted appearance.
- Dark Oak → Rich dark brown texture.
- Mangrove → Deep red accents.
- Cherry → Pink chest and crafting table with cherry wood details.
- Bamboo → Pale yellow-green design with bamboo textures.
- Crimson → Red Nether-themed variant.
- Warped → Cyan-blue Nether-themed variant.
Crafting Rules:
- Using only one wood type creates that variant.
- Mixing wood types could either:
- Produce the oak version (simple option), or
- Be disallowed in the recipe to keep variants consistent.
Benefits:
- Gives builders more decorative options.
- Makes storage rooms and workshops match different themes.
- Encourages players to collect and use a wider variety of wood types.
- Fits naturally with existing wood-specific blocks such as doors, trapdoors, fences, boats, signs, and hanging signs.
This Would be a small visual change that greatly expands creativity and makes Minecraft's growing variety of wood types feel even more meaningful.
