"Decorative Blocks" feel "weak"/"not structural", not inspired to use.

I love building small and use the Decorative Blocks extensively due to their small size. The issue is that they feel like they are not part of the structure regarding any kind of strength/durability.


Right now in creative this is not an issue, but when survival becomes more mainstream, new players may be hesitant in using them because players like to often min max and if a decorative block is "weak" or creates a weak point in a build, the player may be less likely to use them.


I do not know the durability of the decorative blocks. I am a n00b and this info exists, I feel it should be more readily available/in the players face.


Files attached give you an idea of the smaller scale I like to build in. I just fear in survival I won't be able to use these vehicles for anything other than lawn art (due to my uncertainty of the strength of decorative blocks).

I remember months ago discussing in the Discord about basically being able to reinforce blocks with structural “ribs”. I have a feeling that later on, it will be possible to do that in some capacity to blocks which are weaker. Even if not vanilla, a modder will surely take on the task, as this is a very reasonable concern to have. With SE1 it made sense to use structural blocks and then decorate with decor blocks, but the mixed grid system we have now means huge variety in the way blocks get used, which means we shall need some way to modify their baseline behaviour.
