1# Lapiz Block Its Good For Decor But Not Anything Else

2# Nether rack When You Mine With A Pick All It Does Is Bring You Pick Down Fast

3# Sponge It Used Too Be Good For Sucking Water Up But Now No

4# Gravel All It Does Is Get In Your Way While Mining!

5# Sand Same Thing As Gravel All It Does Is Annoy You!

Correction
Lapis: It is good because it is needed for enchanting and dye.
Netherrack: It is good because it can make fireplaces as it burns forever.
Sponge: It is good because it can make air pockets as 1.8 introduced water sucking again.
Gravel: It is good because it may drop flint (10% chance) which is needed to make arrows and flint + steel
Sand: It is good because it makes glass and can erect pillars for scaffolding which can easily be knocked down afterwards (same for gravel)

I'm 20000 blocks away

It was a warm evening, the sunlight reflected on Steve's newly crafted diamond pickaxe. He came up from the mine as the sun began to set. Steve watched the beautiful moment. But he knew, with every passing second, danger grew. Steve wouldn't rest this night out; he needed gunpowder from creepers. Carefully, he placed his pickaxe in a chest and grabbed his enchanted sword. Exiting the house, he rushed towards the first creeper he saw. With a single swing of the sword, the creeper was down and Steve collected his first piece of gunpowder. Another creeper appeared in the distance; He rushed towards it. Just as Steve swung his sword, lightning struck him and the creeper. Steve fell onto the ground, charred and burnt. The creeper, on the other hand, became charged. Steve saw with one weak eye that the charged creeper was looking down on him. It flashed like TNT. It expanded. Steve tried to get up and run, but it was too late. BOOM! The creeper exploded, showering blocks and Steve's body parts everywhere. Herobrine picked up Steve's arm, muttering "Good job my minion, Steve is no more. Now I will kill Notch!"
