I would like to have glue blocks which slow down players and creatures and/or forbid them to jump. would be good for trapmaking (to lure a fast beast into it for example) or to stop people bungee jumping from a bringe with a 1b high ledge ;D
Sticky blocks and gears?X3

Oh my gosh, a gear and pully and rope and chain series for large mechanical builds! I wanna make a draw bridge to a floating island now.
Physics blocks for moving platforms and gondalas suspended from rope or my idea for āShiftersā. I am amending my magic/technology thread to mention gondolas!

I would like to see a type of crystal block added that amplifies light from a light source and tints it to the color of the crystal.
It could be found deep within caves and possibly generate with gleam so it casts the light from the gleam on to the cave walls. This would make caves less dark and add a beautiful natural light show when cave diving.
*An example of how light could act shining through a crystal.

Maybe they slowly break while under pressure, so you have a chance to get off - and once you step off, they go back to normal.
Yyyyyeeeesssssssss!
In the spirit of enlivening the environment, I also really, really want a sideways motor block. It has two states, on and off, and when on, slowly spins itself (and any attached blocks).

If the motor block detects any potential contact that would prevent the attached blocks from spinning completely, it simply refuses the āonā state until the objects are cleared.
Edit: There is also this.

I like this for use of things that like, if you have a crystal array set up to basically reflect, redirect, and what not a beam of light at the EXACT Time of day based on the sunās location, and if itās not cloudy, itād light up a kind of sensor that reveals some mystic text or activates something.
H&R Block ā can only be used the first three-and-a-half months of the year.

Iād like to bump and revive this topic.
Iām currently working with @olliepurkiss to get everything in place to try and create some final quality worlds. To do this we need an updated World Builder (in the pipeline + coming soon), enabling us to create an epic collection of biomes (weāll be sharing details about this once the World Builder is available.) These biomes will be created with an updated and complete set of blocks and resources.
If anyone has ideas for blocks that we could include - now is the time to share them.
So? Any ideas? Maybe your block will appear in the next World Builder update!
The process Iām following is to think about Real world / Earth like biomes and Imaginary / Otherworldly / Alien biomes and see if any additional blocks would make these biome more complete or believable. There is a long list of biome ideas in this devlog post.

Hereās a mix of block and block decorations:
- I would really like to see more foliage types that can connect together.
- For example, it would be really nice to be able to have small bushes (maybe 2x2x1 ish). The existing tree leaf blocks are nice and all, but they donāt look very great when theyāre on the ground approximating bushes.
- Vines!
- Moss
- Some more distinct texturing for the mold block type
- Snow
- Small rocks - may or may not be āblocksā (e.g. collision, or no). Gotta be able to camouflage the territorial criters!
- Cracked earth
- Marbled mineral(s)
- Crystal
- Volcanic rock types (pumice, obsidian, flowed formations)
- Semi-cooled lava (e.g. immobile, but still glowing a bit; slightly damaging)
- Some more alien block ideas:
- Sponge (either very porous rock, or something organic)
- Whatever this is: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8346/8202315610_4c8d0a5816_b.jpg
- Glowing variants of other blocks (vines, leaves, yadda)
- Creep (dark organic ooey gooey goodness)
Misc blocks that wouldnāt be accessible from WB, but would be useful nonetheless:
- Glass panes

Natural climbable surface

Foliage block that looks like dry/dead branches (so we can add details to dead trees)
-
Cracked Stone chunks & sandstone
-
Cave blocks that light up upon stepping on them like Redstone in Minecraft:
-
Gravity affected blocks like gravel and sand in Minecraft (preferably one that is stable until someone steps on it)

By gravity do you mean that they react when you step on them or do you mean like āAnti gravityā blocks?
Cloud/Fog blocks, could reduce movement speed slightly, reduce player sight.
Might be cool if there was a tool you could use to āmineā it and put it in a glass box as an opaque window. That might open the door to a system where you can change the transparency of glass. If you want privacy you press a button that makes the glass opaque, then you press the button again to make it transparent.

Looking back at Lleb, The magenta trees and the dark green leaves on the ground made me think of decaying leaves.
Compost blocks, usually found in rain forest biomes (or any kind of forest biome), can be used as fertilizer in farms if making your own compost takes too long for your agricultural needs. It has the similar texture of the leaves except they have a darker and wilted look to it mixed with fallen bark. The compost blocks generate naturally within a certain radius of the tree to a maximum height of 1 block.

Do you plan on having activatable spike/trap blocks that tie in with the electricity systems in the works? That would be cool
