New Gravel Types: Gravel, Light Gravel, and Heavy Gravel

Gravel is an interesting and classic block in Minecraft, but has been pretty neglected in most of the recent updates. To fix this, I propose that we change gravel to have two new variants: Light Gravel and Heavy Gravel. Light Gravel looks like normal gravel, but has less particles when naturally generated and floating, and has a lot more details on its texture (to make it look like it is made up of many tiny pebbles). It acts in the same way as normal Gravel, except that it breaks on any partial OR full blocks, and falls at about 3/4ths of the speed that normal Gravel falls at. Heavy Gravel also looks like normal Gravel, but has many more particles when naturally generated and floating, and has a lot less details on its texture (to make it look like it is made up of a few large pebbles). It also acts in the same way as normal Gravel, except that it does not break when it falls (and will break any partial blocks it lands on instead of being broken by them), and falls at about 1 and 1/2th of the speed that normal Gravel falls at.

    Problem: That means it will destroy the ender dragon egg and the bottom of the void

    Light gravel is heavier than sand, why would it break when it hit the ground???
