Why don't people use basalt to make their floors of their buildings instead of black wool?

same reason people don't use cobblestone: it looks like fucking shit

if there was one where all the sides were the top texture, it would be the best block for roofing

I thought that brick was an xbox as I was scrolling past

I faced that very problem a few days ago - I wanted a black and white checkered floor but was having trouble finding enough black wool.
Basalt looks like shit. It's grey, not black, and has an ugly texture.

Because for some dumbass reason, they didn't add basalt bricks.

Oh yeah? Then what's this?

It's spelled "basalt."

>new block
>literally just dark cobblestone
Nu minecraft is a fucking joke. It's beyond hilarious to me that literally everything that's been added over the past decade in updates were already available as mods in beta. They even fucked up the entire premise of an empty world being your plaything by adding stupid villages and random structures, which are often horrifically generated.

I cannot think of a game with more wasted potential than Minecraft.

Nice, I didn't see it coming

>still playing minecraft

There's a way to play without structure generation. ou know that, right, dumbie dumb?

Copycat

Yep, in Beta 1.7.3

Not even user, it initially was an rpg with voxel graphics. Now its actual garbage.

Based. The last update before they permanently ruined terrain gen

Oh, that's actually sad

>1 new block is boring
>game ruined
fucking pessimism man.

I use polished basalt kinda like a stone log, in a similar way I would regular logs on a wooden house. (like for corners and stuff)

You want to know the saddest thing?
The Futurama episode "Jurassic Bark"

Because inside of places usually have carpeting? Most things those blocks would be used for would be natural or at least outside areas.

For example, it's kinda hard to tell because it's just for my purposes to reproduce it in survival correctly, but I'm using it as the main pathway in this plaza, for example.

I can't think of a single other build I've ever made at the moment where using it the way you suggest would make sense.

That's not even true. Lots of places have stone flooring indoors. Basalt is a stone.

>still using full wool blocks for carpeting

>Still no chests, crafting tables, or bookshelves made from the other wood types
>No blackstone furnaces
Those are the only things ticking me off right now.

You can place them sideways

WHAT? How do you do this?

You place them just like logs and quartz/purpur pillars.

The same way you place logs sideways.

Dude that episode is so eye-rollingly heavy handed. You’re a fuckin brainlet if THAT is the saddest thing you can think of

What's the saddest thing you can think of?

You can make a normal furnace out of blackstone. Adding variations of already existing blocks would make people complain about "bloat", and also mess up material compatibility, you would no longer be able to make a chest if you had less than 8 blocks of a certain type of wood.
