Cobblestone stairs aren't called "cobblestone stairs"

Feature request. MC-3100

Fixing something with the wrong name is not a "feature request".

Well, its not a bug.

@quartz This is the correct name, Mojang decides what's the correct name, not you.

This is a duplicate of MC-3100, which was previously very difficult to find. I've cleaned it up a bit.

I understand and accept that this is technically a duplicate since the older bug takes priority, but should that bug really be marked as invalid? Do we have any indication at all that this is actually intended and not just an honest oversight? Mojang is not god and humans make mistakes, brushing off issues like these by calming everything is "as intended" with no evidence of such is awfully close to blind hero worship.

I would personally prefer if stone stairs were renamed to cobblestone stairs, for consistency and ease of searching, as you've brought up. I suspect they're named this way partially to deflect the frequent requests for actual "smooth" stone stairs, which @unknown is strongly opposed to adding.

@unknown has taken interest in some naming or spelling tickets before (such as MC-19032 or MC-2453), so I'll reopen MC-3100 and see if someone from Mojang will be willing to address it. Don't be too surprised if they mark it "Working As Intended", however.

Thank you!

If Grum or someone else clearly says that they did it this way for a reason, then that's fine. I just want to make sure they actually SEE that these are being reported. I get the feeling that there are a lot of communication gaps between the users and Mojang and that a lot of issues get automatically brushed aside without the devs even realizing people have a problem.
