I like this idea. It would incentivize players to travel to the poles for very rare blocks or even new schematics in a frozen ruin.

To anyone who is looking for 3 X 3 doors I am currently making a mod for it in 1.8 I am not finished as of yet, but when I am it will be added to the modding page. This also shows what I was suggesting for the doors that I believe would be an excellent addition to the game.

The red and brown variants of clay are available in normal survival. They have to be bought at a traders wagon the building material trader to be exact. The reason for this is to encourage players to find and interact with the different traders for the building materials or items that you might want to use. Personally there are some items that I think should not be trader only, but I do like that most of the decorative blocks are trader only because it makes it a show of your dedication and time to making it with said blocks.

I have been testing out the new 1.8 Prereleases so far and enjoyed all the new features and definitely am inspired to build with the new blocks. As this post suggests I think adding 3 X 3 doors would complete the set for all different door sizes that most people would use. So far, there is 1 X 2 doors like we had in in previous versions and new 2 X 2 gates, 1 X 3 doors, and 2 x 4 gates but no doors that could fill the in-between for the medium doors to the very large gates. I suggest we have an all-in-one door where you place it down with the center block being the middle of the two doors and they swing open like two doors next to each other. This door being all-in-one should make it easier to code in and place down than having two 1-1/2 size doors that connect. Plus, it being a single block you could also make the door more rounded at the top with the corners being part of a frame adding more detail to this door. Another reason I believe this door would be a great addition is due to a lot of people's builds accommodating for single block doors instead of two block doors. This would also allow for nice wide 3 X 3 hallways using this door to make it feel more natural of a build than a small dinky 1 X 2 door to connect the hallway. I believe a good crafting recipe could be 8 out of 9 squares of the grid are 3 wood planks per square of the type of wood you want, and one corner square is 6 nails & strips. I would love to hear what everyone's thoughts are for this and if anyone would like to see a 3 X 3 door in the future.
