Can Minecraft even add new materials without neglecting the already existing ones?
Lets be honest here, the only "sinks" we have for materials are not well spreaded out. Iron has a ton of stuff, golems, redstone (hoppers and whatnot), minecarts, gear, ANVILS, and well, copper has golems, decoration (kinda the main sink), the gears is barely used, but overall a decent if you build and use redstone, gold has bartering and the one piece of armor you craft to walk on the nether and ofc the golden foods (and dandelion ig), emeralds are super useful fpr trading so they are good sinks too and i dont think i need to mention redstone. Now it gets a little more complicated... Lapis only has enchanting, amethyst has the spyglass, tinted glass and somehow, no decorative blocks, quartz has been overshadowed by modern building blocks, but it can still be used so thats still a sink, and ofc its main redstone use, so pretty alright. Diamons have gear, trims and jukeboxes i guess? Netherite has none, coal is useful for torches but can kinds be overshadowed but other furl sources late game. So, my question is, can Minecraft even add a new material? Like i dunno, steel, rubies, titanium or whahtever, without just adding stuff thay shouldve gone somewhere else?
