    Picture says it all.
    These 4 specific blocks (mushroom blocks are same texture on all sides, they don't occur naturally)

    and optionally these 2: (Note the "optionally" The suggestion is mainly for the 4 blocks in the above picture)

    These should be removed from the nstar shop and put in the normal block shop, these are not popular as nstar blocks, but I think that if we were to put them in a normal block shop they would be more popular and therefore help take money out of the economy. (Although these are not as vital, because they're rarely used in actual building and can easily be replaced by endstone/smoothstone.

    I think we should keep these as "rare" items.

    They don't occur naturally, so they don't exist.

    The stone slab block is sold in the star shop, so if it remains there it shouldn't be added to the build shop as well.

    Otherwise, I think this would be pretty cool.

    Those block other the the double stone slab are obtainable through a mushroom biome. I used to have many of them until I /sold them accidentally.

    The msuhroom blocks are the same texture on all sides, this doesn't occur naturally, therefore they are unobtainable.

    I think this is a very nice addition since it would give players a more diverse amount of blocks to choose from when they are building a project, a home, or whatever it may be. If it becomes popular, it could assist andrewkm in taking some money out of the economy :p.

    I always thought the nether star is for unobtainables while the block shop is for various, obtainable blocks sold for really high prices. They should go in the Nstar shop.

    just because you can't get them naturally doesn't mean they have to go in the nstar shop for high prices, they're blocks for construction, not for flaunting around

    Item 43 is probably one of the more useful construction blocks yet it is in the Nstar. I didn't mean high prices at the nstar shop, I meant high prices at the block shop.

    Then I'll change my suggestion to include those 2 blocks in the normal blocks shop.

    The shop is referred to as the "unobtainable" shop. I really don't know what else to say because I only don't care about the mushrooms but I personally don't see why we would need 4 sided unobtainable blocks in the block store when they should, in my opinion, be in the unobtainable netherstar shop. If you want to build with the sandstone version of item 43 or item 43 itself, just use slabs. I think that is why they were originally put into the unobtainables in the first place, because I'm not sure but when you break them, they become 2 slabs, right?

    I just bought those slab blocks yesterday and I really would like them to stay in the star store so they keep their value

    Double slab blocks were in the Block Store before - during renovation someone forgot to re-add them.

    We have one mushroom block in the Block Store right now, so I agree that the other two should be added.

    However, for sandstone slab block and stone slab block, which are in the NStar Shop, I think those should stay where they are.

    As far as I know, they (the above) don't occur naturally like the mushroom blocks (note the difference between OCCUR naturally and OBTAIN naturally) or the double slabs.

    How I have seen the NStar Shop is that it houses the very rare/unobtainable due to server settings and setup, or unobtainables that do not occur naturally in most cases. So the 43 ID blocks seem fine in there. As well, I know a few people who regularly buy them, so I don't think they are anything dead being there.

    Well, there's a difference between unobtainables that are just vanity items and unobtainables that are actually useful in building. Having doubleslabs to build with is much easier than having single slabs.

    And I say 4 doubleslabs per star, which is a whopping $90 a block, is incredibly overpriced and unattractive to builders, so it just sits there collecting dust. While if it was in the block store, obtainable with normal money and cheaper, it would be a lot more attractive to people who like to build and it could benefit people.

    As for the breaking and picking up, in the slabs cases, it would become 2 slabs yes. This is why it's not attractive to builders, because it's an expensive material that's lost the moment you break it. So people don't buy it as it's a waste of money.
    As for the mushroom ones, as long as you have a silk touch tool, they're re-usable.

    I took some screenshots where allsided textures are used in structures and such. (these are mostly just mushroom, but you should be able to understand the point I'm trying to make)

    Excuse my screenshot skills



    As for the doubleslabs, they're mainly just for ease of building (Except for the ones in the nstar shop, they actually have the same textures on all sides, making them completely unique.)

    as you can see, they look completely different:


    They're ridiculously expensive and only meant for building purposes, they're not vanity blocks like the rest of the nstar store.

    I would very much like block 43 to be added to the block store! +1 :)
