Landmarks for Minecraft:
Exploring Minecraft’s overworld is fun, but would be improved if you occasionally came across unique features that could make a journey memorable, or become a key piece of a base.
Landmarks could be:
-A huge tree, 9 by 9, of the tree-type common to the biome it generates in.
-A large standing stone, with a little suspicious gravel and ferns at its base.
-A lone villager-like house with a garden and a single villager.
-A geode at the surface, cracked open and filled with water like a pool.
-A lump of end-stone in a crater.
-A ruined tower, similar to an ocean ruins tower, surrounded by tall flowers.
-A 2 by 2 square hole which falls a good way down, with mossy cobblestone walls and suspicious gravel at the bottom.
-An obsidian pillar identical to an end pillar, complete with block of bedrock.
-Four iron blocks ready to be turned into an iron golem, propped up with stone bricks, covered in vines, and surrounded by a pumpkin patch.
-A tangle of dead corral in a dip in the ground, a tiny pool at the center.
These features would be drawn randomly from a large list, and placed in a spiral pattern out from spawn – like strongholds – except they would become more common as you travel further out.
The list could start quite small, because they would turn up only rarely, but they would give developers a chance to quietly add stories about new blocks and plants as they are added, and blend them into the rest of the overworld.
