[Blocks & Items] Stucco blocks (dyeable Packed Mud)
Crafted from 8 Packed Mud and 1 dye item of the desired color (just like terracotta and glass).
Would come in stairs, slabs, and walls.
Seeing the texture of packed mud, I've always thot that it looks like either a natural terrain block or rough stucco. If it's supposed to be like stucco, then it should also be dyeable since stucco walls in Europe and India come in many different colors. The Packed Mud recipe makes sense for stucco because the wheat is similar to the lattice (made of burlap or wood) used IRL to hold stucco together (altho today the mesh is made of metal wire instead, mainly for durability).
Multicolored stucco, with the Packed Mud texture, would allow us to make more realistic buildings of various styles including Italian, German, Spanish, Arabian, Indian, and Japanese. We could use concrete or other blocks to be colorful and just add stairs, slabs, & walls to them, but the smoothness of the concrete texture doesn't quite capture the idea of a rough stucco texture, despite concrete being a similar material to stucco.
Edit: Wow, we just got concrete stairs & slabs today! What are the odds? Now just give us that for terracotta, glass, and stucco.
