@jogurciQ Oh my god I would kill to have this biome in vanilla

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@gaspoweredpick You're so right! red sandstone generation sucks so bad, I'd love to see it more frequently

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

I find it so interesting that a majority of minecraft rocks are igneous. Why do we have only like one and a half metamorphic rocks. How is soulshale the first new sedimentary rock in five years. Does anyone else think about this.

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@Iluxius Addendum: most of the unique rocks are igneous because, as it turns out, Sweden is mostly composed of igneous rock!

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@Iluxius Igneous rocks form from cooled magma/lava (obsidian,granite, diorite,andesite,tuff).
Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment (sand,gravel, silt,etc.) gets compacted over a very long time (sandstone,shale,limestone)
I have no idea why most of the unique rocks are igneous tbh😅

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@MrBeckegruvan This actually makes so much sense and I lowkey feel a little silly that I never thought to consider that lol. I've been thinking very much on a global scale in terms of rock distribution that I didn't even think to zoom in on sweden's local geography..
Thank you for sharing this!

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@cranbypaws_ Soulsand would be a sediment, but not a sedimentary rock!
I would honestly love to see a soul sandstone block set though...

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@Zone_Vibes IKR! I find it crazy how minecraft went 12 years without a single metamorphic rock, and when they finally added deepslate, instead of like. Keeping the ball rolling and adding more, they decided to make the volcanic surface rock spawn next to it😭

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@ballshaver101 I mean, dripstone is like pretty much limestone in all but name, but it needs an actual block set sooooo bad😭 The severe lack of unique sedimentary and metamorphic rocks makes me so sad🥲

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@AardvarkLost Rocks are split into 3 categories, sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous!
By volume, earth's surface and the overworld have similar-ish distribution of those 3 types, but in terms of unique rock blocks, most of them are igneous! We rarely get new blocks that are the other 2 types

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@PINKUSMONKEY It is! Dripstone is also sedimentary (it's basically is limestone), which is the most recent sedimentary rock before soulshale was released, prior to that we literally only had sandstone as our only explicit sedimentary stone

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@GoDreamie In fairness yeah it is pretty funny

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@GoDreamie Mojang must also think coal is wonderful and amazing and has no flaws because they didn't add black lung and cancer into the game, but I digress.

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@rlzthatitsgone True, true

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@Marmitex78 Oh my god wait I am so sorry for spoiling it for you😭😭

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

(I also say soulshale is sedimentary because the real life parallel here is obv shale. Depending on how they run with the lore it's likely either straight up compressed souls or souls contained within the rock, like how oil/natural gas is in irl shale))

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

(I say one and a half because deepslate is obviously metamorphic. Because slate. But calcite is technically a mineral but with the new blockset it is very clearly a stand-in for marble, which is metamorphic. So I'm half counting it)

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@be3zy_b Honestly, try not to take the blocking to heart. It def sucks for it to happen, but tbh a lot of time it's not personal or anything, some people are just Really serious about curating their online experience😅
You can't please everyone, so you just gotta make things for you yk?

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@kingbdogz I wouldn't mind them growing forever if there was a way to manually stunt them with shears like with glowberries or the nether vines. I also feel like kelp, sugarcane, etc. would benefit from that kind of change as well

[Grayeet @graeeyeets]

@Kioferno wow these are some beautiful textures!
