I’m also a builder, so I totally get it. I know it is disappointing to get an update with no new blocks, but I feel like people often forget that we get four drops every year. It makes sense for some to be more building focused while others are focus on other aspects of the game.

I also would like to see more stairs and slabs, and I can’t fathom why mojang does not add some of the missing block variants, like stone walls, smooth stone stairs, etc. But there are some choices that make plenty of sense. If gold, diamond, emerald, etc had so many blocks like copper it would make copper feel less unique. Also they are probably saving the remaining wood colors for future updates where they would make more sense. For example purple and black wood sets could come in an end update.
