Intermediate Desert Biome!

The intermediate desert biome would be home to a variety of different plants (and possibly new animals)! This is inspired by the Sonoran Desert! These could include:

___________________________

1. Palo Verde Trees - a small tree that produces a green log with yellowish leaves! These leaves will prick the player if they are to step in them, acting more like powdered snow than traditional leaves! Will grow no bigger than a small oak tree, but will have lots of limbs.

___________________________

2. Desert Shrubs - small plants similar to the jungle bushes, will have 1-2 palo verde logs in them!

___________________________

3. lush Cactus - will grow as a bush rather than a straight line. Can produce prickly pears if bonemealed!

___________________________

4. Sandy Gravel - a new block which has the color of sand and texture of gravel! Will come in large patches!

___________________________

5. Ground Squirrels - burrowing mobs that will pick up food if it is dropped (yes, this includes golden apples)

__________________________

6. Uneven terrain - this biome’s terrain will have a rather uneven feel to it, with plenty of hilly terrain for the player to explore!

_______________________

7. Jumping Cactus- will release a cactus ball that will give the player a 5 second debuff called prickled! This debuff will deal small amounts of damage similar to poison.

8. Increased copper and gold spawn rate! Like real life, copper and gold will be much more prevalent in the Intermediate Desert Biome!
