[Suggestion] Make different types of scaffoldings recognizable by name

Explain your idea

While I was building the Distillation Tower from Immersive Petroleum, I didn't notice the recipe required block.immersiveengineering.slab_steel_scaffolding_grate_top rather than the block.immersiveengineering.slab_steel_scaffolding_standard I was trying with, because the names of both blocks are the same (Steel Scaffolding Slab) and the thumbnails are very similar even with GUI size x3.

Only after going through Immersive Petroleum's issues I found out that I need a different slab (which I didn't even know existed), which I can only differentiate from the inventory if I used advanced tooltips (F3 + H):

Source strings:

"block.immersiveengineering.steel_scaffolding_standard": "Steel Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.steel_scaffolding_grate_top": "Steel Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.steel_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Steel Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.alu_scaffolding_standard": "Aluminium Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.alu_scaffolding_grate_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.alu_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_steel_scaffolding_standard": "Steel Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_steel_scaffolding_grate_top": "Steel Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_steel_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Steel Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_alu_scaffolding_standard": "Aluminium Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_alu_scaffolding_grate_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.slab_alu_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding Slab",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_steel_scaffolding_standard": "Steel Scaffolding Stairs",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_steel_scaffolding_grate_top": "Steel Scaffolding Stairs",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_steel_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Steel Scaffolding Stairs",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_alu_scaffolding_standard": "Aluminium Scaffolding Stairs",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_alu_scaffolding_grate_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding Stairs",
"block.immersiveengineering.stairs_alu_scaffolding_wooden_top": "Aluminium Scaffolding Stairs",

To solve this, we could:

  • Rename the blocks ("Steel Scaffolding", "Grated Steel Scaffolding", and "Wooden Steel Scaffolding"?)
  • Update the textures to make the standard steel scaffolding and the grated steel scaffolding more visibly different, and maybe even bring more awareness of the variants so players are aware of their existence.

Note: I couldn't find a suitable template to report this issue, it's neither a bug nor it's a crash, just an annoyance.
