Here's the idea if you haven't seen the post on r/minecraftsuggestions
Minecraft currently lacks a cohesive dark metal block set. Iron is bright, Chains are dark, and Netherite isn’t really viable for building because it is expensive. Adding Wrought Iron would fill this gap with a builder-focused material that complements existing styles without really affecting in-game material progression (would not add new tool/ weapon/ armor tier). I have always wanted to use a gothic-style metal block set for graveyards, haunted mansions, and dungeons!
This variant of Iron is used strictly for decorative and utility blocks. It is not as expensive as a Block of Iron for example, allowing for more building material. Smelt Iron Nuggets in a Blast Furnace to get a Wrought Iron Billet. True to wrought iron processing terminology!
It visually aligns with chains/lanterns (not with smiting table, netherite, or anvil texture pallets)
…functional consistency with the copper block set for crafting as well.

This is cute
This is absolutely delicious! That Soul Lateran on-top of those blocks, goodness gracious we need it..
However, I feel like another set where you have to manage/wax is something I’m not a huge fan of. Don’t get me wrong, as that Rust gives us a strong metallic brown we don’t have.
Another thing, I’d be personally fine with more expensive additions; like Netherite Bars and other precious materials being used.
I suppose they don’t want to tread on the, “Creative Only,” block path again, or where it becomes impracticable in large quantities for Survival. I think it’s okay for certain things to be much harder in Survival.
As such, it becomes much more impressive if it’s done in Survival.
This is needed
Nice. 10/10
Didn’t I just see this?
Yes please! Copper got a lot of love and it’s irons time!
