Inconsistency between block names

Almost every block on Minecraft is named after the words "Block of", but the lapis lazuli block is named like "Lapis Lazuli Block", making an inconsistency between block names.

Dupe of MC-76341. Ezekiel's comment:

Like Isaac said, this probably don't won't be fixed unless Mojang simultaneously chooses to change other names, which I don't see happening. I'm not going to close this however, because I want to wait for an official statement.

Changing the names would affect all command blocks that use these names. There are other examples of inconsistent naming, and even inconsistent implementation patterns (such as using metadata vs separate IDs for the same type of item, such as different types of slabs).

My issue is about names in GUI, your issue is about in-game names.

Still makes this issue invalid.

How is this issue invalid? There was once an issue about cobblestone stairs named "stone stairs" and it wasn't marked as invalid! In fact it has even been fixed.

can confirm for 1.10.2

Even if people have already put command blocks with lapis lazuli ID, they can replace it easily. This needs to be fixed for consistence. Players many times get confused with these situations.

However, my solution is, instead, to rename the other blocks:

  • Block of Coal -> Coal Block

  • Block of Iron -> Iron Block

  • Block of Redstone -> Redstone Block

  • Block of Gold -> Gold Block

  • Block of Diamond -> Diamond Block

  • Block of Netherite -> Netherite Block

  • Block of Quartz -> Quartz Block

  • Block of Amethyst -> Amethyst Block (and as another topic, rename Budding Amethyst to Budding Amethyst Block)

That would make mineral blocks esaier to pronnounce and to remember, and also the community uses most time "(Mineral) Block" instead of "Block of (Mineral)"

Not fixed for Copper Blocks

@Devu Please open a separate ticket for copper blocks (if there isn't already óne)
