New biome

"No, I find the block ridiculously useless" is a fine enough reason.

One I also agree with. Gravel sucks. Dirt and sand at least have uses: sand grows cacti and can be crafted into at least two other blocks. Useful. Dirt is essential for growing anything in the game. Also really useful.

Has anyone ever used gravel for decorations even? No. There are hundreds of other better looking, better sounding and more useful blocks out there. Gravel won't even hold hold a flower. Ergo, most useless block in all of minecraft.

Well there is one thing gravel's good for - falling on your face and killing you while you're a billion miles underground in your mine, exactly 5 minutes and 2 seconds away from your bed.

...Only now in TFC, dirt and cobble do that too, and better. So... yeah.

That is kind of the point: gravel should not be a problem in this mod. The only way it can cause you harm is if you are breaking the basic rules of minecraft and digging straight up or straight down. Dirt and cobble will do the exact same thing in TFC now. Digging around can cause cave-ins which is even more dangerous than what gravel can do to you. Only your own carelessness can make gravel dangerous.

It also has a use. I've had a couple maps where I could not find any flint chips on the ground, but saw some gravel nearby. It took a minute or so of work to get flint to pop out, but again this is TFC. The whole mod is more or less built around rewarding hard work. If you're passing a night without a bed, searching through some collected gravel for flint is a good distraction as well.

If you simply don't like how it looks, you can use a texture pack. There are 3 available for you to pick from. For the record, I like to use gravel as a high-visibility pathway with some wood or stone border, and I have seen others do the same.

Honestly I think gravel beaches would be awesome, I live by one so they are realist and would be good source of flint, almost too good....

I wouldn't mind seeing cherry blossom trees in the game so they can turn pink in the spring but a biome is too much.

I like red rock, maybe we could have multiple colors of sand and sandstone (why isn't that replaced by TFC sandstone yet). Like rust red sand, the current color, and far whiter color, and maybe even different types of beach sand like like black and green like in Hawai'i.

a beach biome would be cool, or atleast make it so that there are diffrent types of beaches that spawn next to oceans, lakes, and rivers, large beaches, small beaches, even beaches that are half plain/forest half beach, and exotic trees for beaches would be cool, or expotic island biomes that only spawn in ocean biomes. and i would like to see cliffs next to ocean shores more often, some of the most memorable beach locals i know of have sevral beautiful cliffs and naturaly forming structures
