More interaction with blocks (special blocks)
I'd love to see more blocks that actually do something.
A few ideas:
-Visitor block: Every player who touches (with E) this block will be recorded and will get a one-time reward (for example 10 coins). If the owner presses E it will get a list with all recent visitors and how many players visited in total. This way the owner can see how many times his buildings are being visited.
-Switch block: You buy this as a set. One block is a door and the other is a switch, if you press the switch (with E) the corresponding door will open. If you press E again the door will close. This allows players to create puzzles.
-Timed Switch block: Same as above except the door will close automatically after a given time. Allows players to create puzzles and races.
-Step block: Also bought as a set. One tile and a door. If a players stands on the tile the door will open, if it leaves the tile the door will close. This requires 2 players and can be used in puzzles designed for more players.
-Conveyer belt blocks: A player standing on this block will automatically move to the given direction. (you can buy four types: left,right,up,down) Putting multiple blocks in a row creates a conveyer belt.
Feel free to give feedback,

About the new reward block: you should be able to set how much gold it gives (between 0-250 so you can't abuse it) so that you can make it either a little reward for visiting (as the visitor block was designed for) or a proper reward for solving puzzles, etc.

For switch block I suggest to give two switches, so door can be opened from two places (not necessarily both have to be placed though). This way you could have door that are opened from either side.
