Just off of the top of my head, but I haven’t been in the shapes menu to really get a feel for what might be “missing”, just things I feel I’m not seeing:
More “Artsy” blocks that are not really
made for bases or building, meaning: their shape doesn’t work well when placing next to other shapes, so it is likely used only as a decor block. I’m thinking primarily for POI builders to make POIs more interesting/unique.
think of a block that doesn’t have any square sided, and maybe just turns into a curving point (like the old cone spikes but points off to the left like a… errr .. rose thorn. It’s “useable” as maybe a spike trap (if you did the work to make it a spike trap) but for building a base it would be purely for looks as it doesn’t really fit the “blocky” look.
another block example would be like a cone with holes in it so it looked like you drilled out a Rubics cube.
more maybe some hexagon/pentagon/ shapes.
we have “letters” blocks. But some lowercase or even a weird “different”font (like cursive) or “broken letters” blocks might be nice (for POI builders).
maybe some “thin shapes”, but with ridges and grooves (think of guttering) for making things like… guttering or railing.
more “broken” blocks, meaning: a lot of them are “broken” and used for
making holes, but the “broken side” is flat so you can walk on it if placed on its side. Make some that look “sharp” on the broken side. A lot of the “holes in walls/floors look nice when viewed before going through them, but as you’re jumping through they look a little fake.
Better glass blocks/glass paint - Right now, the glass blocks we can place are super see-through, unbelievably so. And honestly I feel like what needs to be done is to give us a few different "paints" for glass that lets us alter the dirtiness/opacity/lets use use those window blocks by putting actual glass-looking stuff in them! It would be fine if the paint actually took a special "glass paint" or something as well! Or let us "overlay" glass panes and wood blocks so we can build the windows ourselves, but thats probably too complicated.
This too! With this you could make window mosaics with neat visuals (like coloring areas with a white light behind it (even if we had colored lights the effect using glass would likely be different) and also just for art sake. crafting it could be just using glass and the existing dye colors. It’s a tad weird all the glass windows on the world all look the same, so changes to them (probably anything) would be nice.
