Palm & Coconut Trees (was: Palm Trees)

There a few different types of trees in Minecraft but I think one that would really liven up the world, and that could fit well with the new Update Aquatic, are palm trees. They could only generate on or around beaches obviously. Also, I would really really want coconuts trees to be added too. The coconuts could be kind of like cocoa beans but a little different. You could drink from them and eat them. I feel like this would really help and is something I’ve wanted for a while.

    The palm and coconut trees would only be able to grow on sand and they would naturally grow in desert and beach biomes. The palm trees would be a little shorter than a jungle tree

    Palm trees shouldn't only form in beaches, but maybe like how oceans got variants, maybe make more forest variants. I live in a subtropical climate so i see palm trees a lot. They should generate in large beaches and definitely desert. And for forest variants there should be a cooler forest where it may snow at a lower elevation and warmer variant where palm trees would generate cuz i see an occasional palm tree in some of the forests down here.

    I like the look of the stepped trunk blocks in the 2D preview video.  Make the bottom half of each block 1/16 (one pixel) thinner on each side.  This would be a beautiful touch of realism for these trees and offer some exciting design potential for wooden pillars.  O...pair them up for arrow slits in castles, too.  :D

    Afterthought:  How about a desert oasis biome with palm tress, and small ponds?  I think it would be reasonable for these trees to have a requirement of nearby water.

    When palm trees are implemented I'd like to see a different leaf block, one that is flat but diagonal angles much like what cart tracks can do but different sized ones to reflect growth stage of prongs.

    @DINORAR2017 ...And maybe having a chance of giving you a regeneration or absorption effect.

    Honestly, I think there should be a new tropic biome. A biome where there would be sand and grass spread around with palm trees everywhere. This biome would spread into the aquatic biome and would change the water color to a nice tropical blue. Some mobs that could spawn would be some new fish like marlin, sharks, jellyfish, etc. Some new items would include spears, tiki torches, and an assortment of palm tree blocks. I think that these ideas would just make the world more vibrant and fun to play through.

    Hey IAmNumbr7 or anyone else who is reading this I think adding Coconuts would be amazing and I think I have an awesome use for them. I like the idea of them being a solid object in the game which you would have to mine to collect. But I think it would be cool if once mined you get a cracked coconut which you can then drink for restoring hunger and maybe other status effects. The only way to get a Full Coconut would be to mine a Coconut with Silk Touch. I think it would be cool if after using the Coconut (drinking the milk) that it will leave behind 1 coconut shell. 2 coconut shells, 1 TNT, and 1 redstone would then make a Coconut Bomb which could be the equivalent of throwing a TNT since TNT must be placed and lit on fire. The bomb wouldn't immediately explode, same way a TNT doesn't but the time to get away from it should be short. There can also be different types of Coconut Bombs. Like blinding bombs (adding Ink Sacks) or sticky bombs (adding slime balls) or even a Coconut Launcher that shoots these coconut bombs. I hope that others think this is a great idea and gets attention because I would really be into seeing this in the game. Thanks for taking your time to read my idea.

    Palm trees would be a great addition to tha game. I used to try and build some myself but it was to cumbersome and without satisfying results so I gave up on that

    They should form micro-biomes inside Jungle biomes, like Bamboo forest.

    And be represented by single trees mixed with regular jungle trees.

     

    Coconut should be divided in half (you can eat each half)

    They should also add a beach village where you can find palm trees to add a bit of rearaty to them

    Since the aquatic update happened about a yr ago they should release shrimp and have a crafting recipe for the coconut or at least another and it would be more food and have coconut shrimp into the game

    It should also have a new biome, the beach biome because when most beaches spawn they are considered deserts and won’t rain even know it can realistically rain on a beach

    Noice idea, adding a luxury feel to beachside houses I see. The coconut, when obtained, would drop it in its pure form, but when crafted with bamboo (‘straw’), will become coconut milk. The coconut milk should have the same effect as normal milk, plus adding health points. Also the empty coconut shell can be used to make a coconut shield, which has less durability Tharp a normal shield, but is cheaper.

    Palm and coconut trees would be the perfect addition to jungle biomes, oceanic beach and island biomes and perhaps even tiny desert oases. Of course, they could have a % chance of spawning that is lowered by their proximity to ice and snow as well. I love the idea of coconuts providing a form of milk (with potentially a buff) as well as being a food. In addition, it would be cool if it even had fan-like leaves could be used to make thatched roofs.
