Yesterday while trying to build a cool structure in the game I realized we don't have dark prismarine wall, so I made a research and discovered a rabbit hole that made me feel insane enough to make this post.
Chaos Cubed is the next minecraft drop that will add 2 base blocks (Sulfur and Cinnabar) and each of them with 13 (THIRTEEN) variations and 1 more for sulfur while we have blocks with less than 5 variations.
While and slabs of many stone-based blocks are kinda okay there are many several other issues:
Starting with walls, we only have 26 walls and Chaos Cubed will bring 6 more (that's more than 23% percent of the walls in the game) without fixing the rest of the blocks that need a wall. We don't have any kind of Quartz Wall, but we have ¿Mud and Resin Walls?, and we have prismarine walls but we don't have dark prismarine walls ¿WHYYY? it makes no sense because we have slabs and stairs of the three blocks but only regular prismarine wall and we have no walls of any of those other two variations, but also doesn't make any sense because we DO have red nether brick wall AND nether brick wall.
On the other hand we have FOUR variations of deepslate walls and not regular stone wall, we have THREE variations of blackstone walls but we don't have polished walls variations of andesite, granite and/or diorite but we have THREE walls of tuff, sulfur and cinnabar ¿¿¿¿???? SERIOUSLY ¿IS THERE ANY REASON WHY WE DON'T HAVE POLISHED ANDESITE/GRANITE/DIORITE WALLS?. WE NEED WHITE, GREEN AND BLUE WALLS, We already have 7-8 variations of black edgy walls and 7-8 variations of gray walls. We NEED cut sandstone wall or smooth sandstone wall lol ¿Why not? It feels like newer blocks are getting full paletted but old blocks are just sitting around there doing nothing since 1.8 and 1.14
WE DON'T NEED MORE BLOATBLOCKS, please just fix the blocks we have already in the game before adding 13 variants of cobalt and maple wood reskin, we have 12 year old blocks that are not updated anymore !!!
It's not even hard, it's just a reskin, you don't need 1000 lines of code to add a RESKIN of a block with literally no special effects or nothing, you can add them on a normal sunday. You don't need extra textures, is the same texture warped around to be a wall !!!! (and maybe and ID and some code but why don't we have them yet?)
Sometimes the way to get the same "state" of a block is different. Deepslate bricks require Cobbled Deepslate but Stone Bricks require regular stone. Regular deepslate has no use in a crafting table but in a stonecutter, deesplate and cobbled deepslate are interchangeable but regular stone and cobblestone are treated like totally different blocks, in both, a crafting table and in the stonecutter. We have chiseled blocks that are made with slabs of the polished version such as tuff, or we have chiseled ones that come from the cobbled version like deepslate, or we have chiseled blocks that come from the regular one such as quartz, and then we have chiseled versions that comes from the bricks such as chiseled stone bricks. Ooooor, we have some variants of bricks that come from the regular block like stonebricks, and bricks that come from the polished version like tuff bricks, and sulfur bricks, and bricks that come from the cobbled version like deepslate ¿WHAAT? Prismarine bricks that are not even crafted with prismarine blocks ¿¿??
We have tuff, polished tuff and polished tuff bricks, and we have TWO variations of chiseled tuff (Chiseled Polished Tuff and Chiseled Polished Tuff Bricks) but we don't have chiseled stone or at least polished bricks of diorite, andesite and or granite.
¿Why can't we have more mossy variations of blocks? At least as much as cracked variations, we want to make builds look old using other blocks. I don't think mossy diorite bricks are a crazy idea. I don't even think Diorite Bricks are a crazy idea. ¿Why we can't have cracked prismarine?
We don't have smooth stone stairs or walls neither
We don't have quartz bricks slabs or stairs
We have an infested variation of chiseled stone brick
We have a block named… cracked polished blackstone bricks?? LOL
We have… ¿¿¿nether brick FENCES??????
and deepslate… ¿tiles???????
¿Is cut the equivalent of polished in sandstone? ¿Why don't we have cut sandstone stairs? ¿What is the actual meaning of cut/smooth/polished?
We have buttons and pressure plates of every single variation of wood, but we only have ¿2 stone buttons and pressure plates? and those are stone and… ¿Blackstone? why not deesplate at least or cobblestone?
I think MAYBE perhaps, possibly, Blackstone is an example of the bare minimun of what a block should feature, maybe not all blocks deserve cracked polished smooth infested mossy tiles, but at least a whole set of stairs, slabs and walls for the three variations of regular block, polished block and bricks. Pressure plate, button and chiseled block. I'd be okay if we don't have cracked or mossy variants of all blocks, some blocks maybe shouldn't have variants at all like amethyst, but calcite and dripstone are in a hot corner. The same with netherrack, what would you do with netherrack at this point? I don't think netherrack slabs or stairs might look good but we have stone slabs and stairs that at first glance they still look cursed sometimes.
Woods are mostly okay, but between all woods, bamboo has more variants while not being an actual wood? The boat is actually a raft but the behavior is exactly the same, so why it's a raft, why not give every single boat a different skin or the raft a different usage???
Bamboo has planks, log, stripped log, door, etc, and then… ¿MOSAIC? ¿2 types of ladders and slabs for a single type of wood?
P.D.: Sorry for the English, I try my best.

I do not think it’s trying to make sense
I think it’s fine for some blocks like mossy, cracked, and pillars to be unique to certain block sets. Only stairs, slabs, walls, smooth/polished, bricks, and chiseled variants needs to be common across all stone types.
If this hurts your brain try jumping from 200m up and landing safely in a bucketful of water… that you were holding in a bucket when you jumped and dumped onto the ground 1 second before impact.
¿¿¡¡FENCE!!?? is sending me. Yeah it makes no sense that nether brick is the only non-wood to have a fence
