I've finally gathered the prerequisite two-hundred-freakin'-diamonds to get started on some proper end exploration ('endsploration'?), so the next project coming down the ol' pipeline is a shop–the 'Exotic Block Shop'.
Which leads me to the main topic here: what are the weirdest, most unplaceable blocks in vanilla? I've got some unusual tastes and tend to advocate for some of the less used textures; for example, my current home is made of red sandstone, glazed terracotta, and purpur. I've invested in some mycelium, and I'm sure I'll be using 'shroom blocks in future builds. But that's all I can think of off the top of my head, and I can't help but think there must be some others I've overlooked. Trying to think of all the things I don't see very often in builds is difficult because, you know, I don't see 'em often. So what've I missed? I'm looking for a challenge and any weird material you mention will makes its way into my future builds and shop stock, I guarantee it.
