We already have a single block popping into multiple smaller physics-enabled blocks (Yay!) when destroyed, while a single block appears magically in the players inventory. It would be a spiffy next step to have the number of blocks dropped vary based on the block in question (Groovy definition) and maybe also depend on the tool used to break the block.

Short way to add more to this would be to also make that number of blocks appear in the player inventory, while a fancier way would be to make the mini blocks outright "pickable" - giving the player the ability to pick up broken blocks individually by clicking them (ray tracing and all that fun stuff)

Long-term block pickup might be automatic but this would probably be a neat and useful exercise :)

Some use-case stuff related to block breaking is listed on http://wiki.movingblocks.net/bin/view/Main/BlockArchitecture
