Earth

Make the grass blocks rotatable please.

Aside from the obvious inspiration, this is actually a serious suggestion - to make the grass overlay (and I guess other blocks like it) rotatable instead of as an exclusively upward block. Goes along with the whole gravity theme of the game that for some reason only has blocks in one direction. Grass that runs down around a block would also probably help said theme.

Re: Earth

I thought you were joking till you explained why. Now I support this. We need corner grass and rotatable grass for aesthetic design.

because the blocks were made 8 years ago

(This post is just ideas, I'm not saying any of it will happen. I will make sure that I discuss it with the rest of the team when the time comes though)

I was thinking about this back when someone suggested 3 layers. If the layers were background, physics (including solid blocks), and decoration, you could have cool things like having separate overlay decorations, meaning you could have grass / snow / whatever and place it on top of any block in any rotation, without needing 50 million block variations. I think this would be great as it would allow for much better integration of things like grass, snow, etc, as well as possibly adding a more 3D feel (as things like bushes could go in front of other things), which I think would look good in EE.

And it is in a desperate need for an expansion is the point, like how a few old packs have acquired.

Overlays are actually probably one of the best solutions to this, as it would enable any block to become a grass block (in this circumstance) and unlock even more possibilities in other circumstances. I think it is the implementation of overlays (being such a big change in the game) that make people weary of said conclusion.
