They're nice, but it seems a little weird to have them in Create itself; they feel like they could be from a different mod entirely.

Do they have some uses I'm missing? Are there future plans for them?

There's a lot more cosmetic blocks in 0.4.x, and I'm starting to feel a little frustrated by how often I find "sorta useless" stuff while mining. But I'm not gonna give up Create's "core" (cogs, shafts, contraptions) just because of that.

This is better discussed over discord probably in the #suggestions channel

i agree having a config or seperating them would be nice
at first it was pretty minor and then it started getting out of hand lol
