    Aha! I actually submitted a suggestion a few days ago with an earthquake natural disaster. (includes fault lines, shaking, and building collapse)

    I agree. It'd be cool if there were tornados, earthquakes, volcanos, and other natural disasters.

    As a mater of fact, I heard some of the developers mention about tornados and natural disaster; this could be possible...

    Two things: the natural disasters should have no effect on buildings and things the players make, and you should be able to turn them off in settings if you want to. But this WOULD be really fun to have!

    Personally I think casting an unknown spell for should have the chance as a side effect to have a natural disaster result so it's player caused. The spell idea refers to maybe getting magic wands and spells in the future, to do unique things.

    Super agree we need them. They can do this as a mode or even option

    The developers talked that they once made tornados and volcanos and all that kind of stuff but said it was unfair for the player that put 200 hours on its minecraft city in survival or made a pretty house or just want to play peacefully to have a meteorite to destroy everything they worked for, and I thing they are right

    natural disasters that add more life to the minecraft world would be awesome. i don't want tornados or anything that would mess with blocks, but volcanos that spew out lava that cools overtime, meteorites that bring down either a rare metals that are not found in the Overworld, cool new stones to build with, etc. Certain natural disasters would not be viable such as tornados, hurricanes, etc. ones that could damage and throw around blocks or ones that require entirely different and new mechanics (like hurricanes) to mess with the water physics. i like the idea but i think only certain ones would work as of the current mechanic available in minecraft.

    What about tornadoes don't affect most blocks, but they could pick up mobs and players and throw them into the air, to make them dangerous. Maybe they can also rip leaves off trees?
    I wouldn't really mind if a meteorite strike hit my house, its part of the survival experience. They could make a fiery crater and there could be some remains of extra-terrestrial metal in it?
    Finally, what about rare shooting stars in the sky at night (pure aesthetics)?
    Maybe earthquakes could shake gravel and sand down (sometimes they generate floating)?
    Please add HAILSTORMS, the player would receive some continuous damage from being in it.

    If they're adding natural disasters it HAS to be non destructive somehow, because It would suck if you made something and a volcano destroyed them all

    This kind of "heavy" natural disaster must happens ONLY over newly generated area. Otherwise players will loose their hardly made buildings. :)

    I wamted natural disasters since I started playing this game and I think it would be really fun but I thint there shold be a option to tern it off and on

    Actually I would love this idea as it would add so much challenge/fun to the game in my opinion, as honestly minecraft comes off as way to easy sometimes.

    However I think there should be a toggle to turn it on and off, and some like the hurricane as well as the volcano one should be biome specific. Like for example the hurricanes showing up near or in ocean biomes, and volcano should be it's own biome entirely. Other biome specifics would be sudden fires in the savannah biome, or plains biome, and tornadoes being most common in plains biome or forest biome, sandstorms along with dust devils ( maybe? ) being in the desert/mesa biomes.

    Earthquakes, and meteorites I can see happening as super rare events in all biomes, another cool thing is getting an achievement for surviving every natural disaster in the game when natural disasters happen in maps/worlds they're allowed on.

    I think that each one should bring something really useful. 

    Meteorite: Lots of iron ore and perhaps a new ore

    Earthquakes: Make a new ravine for exploration

    Tsunami: Can bring out lots of treasure as the sea bringing forth everything in the ocean

    Tornado: Can give blocks from nearby biomes that are harder to find, can clear large areas of forest for expansion 

    Hurricane: Tornado but bigger and Tsunami 

    Flood: Tsunami but weaker and less rare stuff 

    Volcano: Can give you large amounts of lava and magma which are harder to get in the Overworld, can produce obsidian 

    Wildfires: Can clear forests for expansion 

    Saving a village from a natural disaster gives Hero of the Village.

    Some slight things that won't destroy all of your legacy would be SO cool :D

    I can imagine blizzards or sandstorms but stuff like volcanos, meteors, earthquakes and so on can destroy everything.

    I totally disagree with this idea, it takes the building out of minecraft, this could be a feature in hard mode but, I feel like it's pretty out of place from the game as it would destroy a ton of buildings which, no one wants. We already hate creepers enough.

    I believe natural disasters would be a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE step in making Minecraft feel more alive and less... well... like a dead world.

    I disagree with the whole "we should not even think of this whole idea because people don't want their builds destroyed".

    Make it a toggle, then. The liveliness of the entire game shouldn't suffer because of a subset of the community. Cater to them, but also cater to the community that thinks this would be an awesome idea. This can be easily done by making this a toggle.

    I'd argue it'd be nice to make this default to on, though. Or make it part of a specific new mode or new difficulty.

    I like the idea of earthquakes, especially underground this could make things quite interesting / dangerous in caves. They could also be used in order to renew gravel and stone underground:

    If we were to add earthquakes, they should probably happen around ravines, with the "epicenter" at the ravine's height elevation. They should affect materials based on blast resistance and if stronger materials are used in the path of the "waves", they would protect weaker materials from damage. Whether weak blocks should fall like sand or just straight up drop as items is debatable, but falling blocks will at least enable rebuilding even if one doesn't get to the rubble in time.
