Minecraft has been introducing an array of features and items through its game drops, allowing players to experience new mobs, gameplay mechanics, and more. Recent drops, such as The Garden Awakens and Spring To Life, introduced fresh mobs and variants, adding to the game's diversity.

However, it now seems that Minecraft needs to plan a future game drop that is solely focused on adding missing blocks to the game. Discussions across various platforms like Reddit, X, and the game's feedback forum indicate that players want an array of new blocks to make their way to the game.

A recent Reddit post showcased many players asking for a snow and ice block, two functional items that could blend in with those biomes and offer better-looking igloos and icy structures. Similarly, many players suggested that Mojang could add chests and barrel blocks that reflect the type of wood used, instead of featuring a generic wooden design.

Meanwhile, other users suggested that the array of redstone components in the game needs an expansion, with items like colored redstone lamps ot heat blocks that could be placed in colder biomes. Some also suggested the addition of mirror blocks that could blend in seamlessly with the Vibrant Visuals update, adding more RTX-themed functionality to the gameplay.

Many players also suggested that there needs to be an expansion of building blocks such as pillars, tiles, and panels. With building being one of the central aspects of the game, the addition of these structures could significantly expand the current offerings, allowing gamers to build stunning architectural wonders.

With Mojang's new format of multiple game drops throughout the year, players can look forward to an array of new features and item making their way to the game. The developers are known to actively listen to player feedback, so one could expect some of their dream blocks to make it to the game in the future.
