Many of the blocks that are missing from the default selection are the blocks that can be broken by pistons. Although adding blocks that have placement restrictions like bamboo or mushrooms will probably cause more problems than they are worth, there are enough blocks that can be placed without restriction that I would like to see added to the default selection.
Building a map art area in survival that automatically resets itself can be done and still retain a large number of the available colors, provided you use the right block. For example, the wooden and stone pressure plates. We have the gold and iron plates, but cannot select the other plates by default. Just adding the pressure plates adds 6 colors.
Scaffolding is the same color as sand. Not only is it breakable, but scaffolding is easy to farm in large quantities.
Twisting vines produce the same color as prismarine bricks, but are again, much easier to farm and can be broken by a piston and/or water.
Pointed dripstone makes the exact same color as dripstone on map art, is farmable and breakable, but was left out of that update.
And, for what it is worth, purple shulker boxes make the same color as purple terracotta. I don't know if shulker boxes make good fodder for map art, but technically it is an additional color available for a piston-based map art section.
All told, there are 28 different colors to use with a piston based system, but ten of those blocks are not listed as default. Can we get them added?
