The latest snapshot, 14w02a, adds new blocks to MC!

 

Slime blocks are bouncy (and you move slower on them than on soulsand)

The 3 raw materials are found underground (but we won't be resetting the map, sorry!)

 

New features: if cheats mode is enabled, you can lock game difficulty in settings menu.

The F3 menu also tells you which direction you're facing and how it affects your coords. It also tells you which shader you're using.

Bouncy

Bouncy as in they bounce or I can bounce off them to jump higher?

You sorta bounce on them, but you don't go any higher than jumping.

Pinball machine...

piston extender to go up, slime balls and pressureplates + pistons until they go down... then add a scoring system.

If that's the case, could the staff start an admin shop that sells the stuff since it won't be on the map? Or maybe somehow sanction off an area of the map that isn't loaded until 1.8 rolls around?

Do they reduce fall damage if

Do they reduce fall damage if you land on them? Since they are bouncy and all.

Slime Blocks (Jupiter and Pointy)

Been testing the snapshots and slime blocks prevent ANY fall damage and the higher the fall, the higher the bounce back. Any fall damage that would occur would be where you land after bouncing.

Out if the new blocks, I am

Out if the new blocks, I am the most happy that they added mossy stone brick as a craftable item. Will make ruins and sewers look way better. Hopefully they mix it in with the mossy cobble in jungle temples. I think it would really improve their look. 
 
The granite looks interesting but I haven't messed with it yet. From the pics though, I like the regular granite, but I think the polished blocks look too much like dirt and clay. Would like to se the color changed to maybe a black/white mix or possibly white with gold flecks. Would lo really good as a countertop or fancy floor that way. We already have a lot of grey and brown/tan blocks I'm the game. 
 
I was really hoping for an ocean mob or craftable rope or chain where you could tie off both ends (suspension and draw bridges, etc).

I've been playing with the

I've been playing with the snapshot too and all 3 of the new stone blocks are craftable. Nether Quartz and cobble in the 2x2 crafting grid create Diorite, for example. I don't remember all of them, Docm77 showed how to craft them all in a preview video he released yesterday (1/9/14)
