Hi! I play Minecraft, of course, and I also play The Blockheads and Clash of Clans. Minecraft is probably my favorite game. I've been playing since 1.2.5. Feel free to post on my talk page! I'm all for helping this wiki out! (Note: the things posted on this page are oldest at the top and newest at the bottom)

Snow Blocks and Packed Ice
As of 1.7, snow blocks and packed ice are generated naturally. I've noticed that this is not on the blocks page, and though I know most of the editing code/syntax, I do not know how to add them to the naturally generated blocks table. I would be grateful if someone could add this for me. Thanks! NOTE: This has been done now, no need to worry about it anymore!

Done
It's the next day now, and I would like to thank Orthotope for adding snow blocks and packed ice to the blocks page.

Thoughts About the Upcoming Update (1.8)
I'm not sure when it's going to come out, but I'm fairly excited so far about the next update. I'm really liking the slime blocks, and the new stones have a lot of possibilities. I don't use command blocks that often, but I have tried out the new fill command, and I was able to use it to explode a bunch of TNT (about 4000). The clone command is going to be very useful as well, though I haven't used it yet.

New Stones
Andesite, granite, and diorite, with their polished variations, will be a nice addition to building a lot of things. They'll also make caves more interesting, as there'll be a much wider variety of blocks underground.

Possible Additions/Improvements
I do think, with all these new stones, they should make some crafting recipes using them too. Also, I think they should make them a little rarer. Not too much, but just a little. Just to add a little more value to the new blocks.

Stone Slabs
I think that you shouldn't be able to craft stone slabs from the new types of stone. I do, however, think you should be able to use them to craft andesite slabs, granite slabs, diorite slabs, and their stair counterparts. Maybe even their polished versions could have have slabs and stairs. I'm not sure about the polished ones having slabs and stairs, though, because that might be a little too much.
