Block Change Request: Stacked Peat

[zanji]

Request: Blocks, slabs and (or) walls of Stacked Peat

Request Type: General Addition

Try to describe all workarounds and associated issues that make it necessary to add this block in your eyes:
There isn't really a way to portray peat as fuel right now. The peat block is too "bulky" and using it as stacked and stored fuel peat just looks ugly.

Types of evidence to support your request: Historical

Historical Evidence:
Peat has been a widely used as fuel for cooking or heating up rooms/houses in different parts of medieval Europe, especially Scotland and Ireland. It is a good alternative to firewood in marshy wetland areas where trees are rare, peat however is abundant.

Great idea zan!

Would be great if we use this as brick like slab, since that's how they'd be arranged. Having a Northern alternative to firewood blocks is a neat idea.

Hey Zan, just a heads up that no new blocks will be added until the server is updated to 1.16, what hopefully should happen in a few months. Until then the requests should primarily focus on the discussion (and possibily on development, if anyone has interest) around the potential new blocks.

I'm loving the look of these blocks but wouldn't it also be good for them to look similar to cut turf walls, like used as insulation on many of our buildings in the north. We use grassy dirt atm but it'd be fun to be able to make the proper thing with stacked peat/cut turf blocks
