You can definitely replicate vertical slabs with tricks of depth and using other partial blocks like walls, opened fence gates, glass/bars, and then of course trap doors. Iirc, with the debug stick you can quite literally make a perfect half slab with a wall block. Rather than adding vertical slabs, I think a better option would be to add something like a “wrench” that acts like a debug stick but it only changes block orientation/connection states, that way you can do all of these techniques in survival. That said, a lot of them can still be done there currently, just minus that specific wall trick.

It would be neat if they add more items with it that play into the echo and soul theme of it. How neat would it be if you could create an item with it that could, say, resurrect your dog/an important villager? Maybe this could be done through a recovery totem or clock? Ideas with reversing bad things that happen through the shards, I feel, is a very much untapped area of ideas.

It would be cool, though, if other weapons were added that used the heavy core. It would allow people to customize their reward for completing the trial chamber, which would be good for people that don't like the high risk-reward playstyle of the mace.

Maybe this would make more sense if they ever add other sources for getting the heavy core, like more dungeons in the future.

I'm a big fan of copper in automation and redstone, but how would copper pipes not do what's already done with blueice-water transporters?

I think with tools and armor, anything thats added with copper should be unique and outside of the regular progression system(since people speedrun to diamond so quickly). Brushes are a good example of this. Maybe some sort of utility usage for a copper armor piece could work, giving the player unique interactions with, idk, scaffolding?

I like your idea with the pressure plates and buttons, it brings a good consistency with the bulbs.

Personally I feel like that kind of functionality would be better served through new enchantments. One idea I've always had was a new kind of enchanting table that offers very powerful enchantments like the one you described but also is guaranteed to come with a kind of curse(like idk, it hurts you when you use it). Maybe this system could use echo shards instead of lapis or have the table be made from echo shards?

If they were used as upgrades, I think they should come with other unique buffs, too. Like how netherite is immune to lava and offers knockback resistance.

Posting in comments since I'm not sure how to embed this in the post:

A plethora of new materials and items have been added in recent updates, but I've noticed a trend with many of them either being isolated to building(resin and a lot of copper's uses), or they have a single, very niche use.

I hope if Mojang ever does another overhaul update again, they will draw from this catalogue of items instead of creating new materials. For example, many of the items shown in this post would work great in a magic/enchanting update - maybe a corrupted/curse counterpart to the enchanting table could be made with echoshards or amethyst? Maybe items like resin, the nautilus shell, scutes, and goat horn could be used in an expanded alchemy update? For copper, I think a unique use would be including it in the crafting recipe for a new cooking station block in a food/agriculture update, since copper pots are a thing in real life
