    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    A Stone/Deepslate Variant Switcher
    What are you suggesting:
    Some sort of method to switch out the stone ores and the deepslate ores. So basically, have the ability to change the following to the following & vice versa

    Coal Ore - Deepslate Coal Ore
    Iron Ore - Deepslate Iron Ore
    Gold Ore - Deepslate Gold Ore
    Copper Ore - Deepslate Copper Ore
    Redstone Ore - Deepslate Redstone Ore
    Lapis Ore - Deepslate Lapis Ore
    Diamond Ore - Deepslate Diamond Ore
    Emerald Ore - Deepslate Emerald Ore

    This suggestion has two possibilities of how I think we should implement it:

    1.) Sixteen different exchange signs at blockshop (like how we trade nstars in for stuff)

    2.) Make it a command like /transmute that changes the stone variant to deepslate and deepslate to stone, and put it under a command like one of the ExtCommands or ExtCreation features [whichever one, the top feature]
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    When it comes to building stuff, some ores are rarer than other, so if you want like 16 normal stone diamond ores for a build, it could take ages to find. Having this option gives some building freedoms without having to do so much grind

    In terms of economy, if you already silk touched an ore, you are already are losing money anyway since a magic pick and boosted items only work on blocks that are natural and you are wasting time moving it. Plus, there is virtually no difference between the stone and deepslate variants of ores: they drop the same amount of drops & exp, but deepslate mines slightly longer (but again, if you have a silked ore, you would be losing money
    Other information:

    Plugin or custom addition:

    Mostly a +1: Hmmm I will give this a plus 1 if only deep emerald isn’t included given it’s a star machine drop.

    I suggested this from a purely builder perspective: if I want to build with certain ores, they are nearly impossible to find. Deepslate Emerald Ore can also be purchased from the blockshop, but iirc that was just added to burn nstars for people wanting to finish the emerald collector medal. They just chose deepslate because it was just released at that point in time
