Is there an existing proposal for this?

I did not find any existing requests.

Explain your idea

There is no painted block. We have painted slabs, which you can stack together to make a painted block, but they are a little silly.

Why do you thing this feature belongs in Ender IO.

We have painted walls, stairs, slabs, glowstone, redstone blocks and others, but no plain painted blocks. Why can't I paint regular dirt as diamond blocks, but wood slabs are fine?

Are there any alternatives?

Just using painted slabs.

Any Additional Information?

Considering the fact that the painted block system is designed to apply a block texture to a shape you don't normally have, what is the usecase of a painted block to look like another block?

For expensive blocks, like diamond, emerald or netherite blocks, it can be difficult to gather large amounts for building. Having the ability to paint cobblestone would make it easier to build with rare blocks.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of Minecraft? Personally it doesn't make sense to add a feature that sidesteps this.

And for some reason cobblestone doesn't work even in slab form. I suppose that and the slab bug should go in a separate issue.

You can already use glowstone or slabs to emulate a full painted block, so the feature already sorta exists. Adding a full painted block would be nice if you don't want your blocks to glow or if you don't want to carry around twice as many blocks for slabs. Also, there is a bug when you break stacked painted slabs. Here's a video on MC 1.20.1, 6.1.8-beta. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b53729b1-843d-4c6c-be12-877a4a0f0cce And for some reason cobblestone doesn't work even in slab form.
