Abandoned Castles in Snow Biomes/Mountains

A giant tower lurks over the snowy mountains. What could it be, a trap, or a new challenge? Abandoned and destroyed, this castle holds many secrets. Loot found beneath its floors. New monsters along with strays inhabit its walls. The player can rebuild this structure, or fight in its dungeons.

    This should be secretly added in the caves and cliffs update. That would be so cool

    I feel like having abandoned castles would be a great thing for the Cliffs pillar of the Caves and Cliffs update.. They could have a dungeon beneath them as well. Full of mobs and the high levels could have Weeping Angels.. a mob that can’t move and looks like a statue when your not looking at it but if it touches you.. You die..

    We need a new type of illager in these abandoned castles but does not spawn in ruined castles. It is the Archer and Ill-chanter which attack the following things:

    Player

    Villager

    Iron Golem

    Snow Golem

    Vindicator
    Evoker

    Illusioner

    Pillager

    Ravager

    Vex

    Zombie Villager

     

    The Archer shoots potion tipped arrows but using crossbows always with at LEAST quick charge 1.

    The Ill-chanter is a illager version of the witch. Witches should help villagers and players but Ill-chanters do the opposite! They also have booby traps set up which makes raiding castles EVEN harder than bastions! To find one of these structures, you go to a cartographer and collect the medieval explorer map then get to one of these. You can get NETHERITE in chests here! But they are guarded by mobs!

    Mojang please make sure that a medieval explorer map is added so you can explore these castles. these are as rare as woodland mansions but they are larger and have more floors including basements which lead you to cave structures which give you good loot! They should have many secret rooms:

    Library secret piston door

    Secret library

    9 lock combo lock but it tells the code

    2x2 flush piston door

    AND MUCH MORE!

    Good idea, maybe dungeons could spawn underneath?

    This would be perfect to fit in the iceologer. While the iceologer should also spawn on empty mountain peaks randomly alone in the world it should spawn a lot in the abandoned castles. These castles would probably spawn one per biome on a mountain peak. Both iceologers and strings could spawn a lot here. You would find a lot of loot and some loot you can only find here. The castles would look quite old, broken and require some parkour. I think systemzees video about a mountain update show abandoned castles perfectly. You can find the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSqKUrFXJ4U

    To update the mountains in general wind ambience sound should be added in the world especially in the mountain biome. The wind would sound louder the higher you go up. Imagine also wolf howling and rocks falling. 

    Iceologers should be added to 1.17 because they fit so perfectly in the upcoming cliffs. They should not spawn to commonly but definitely not to rarely either. They should be able to attack you as soon as you attack them with an arrow from any distance to add a real challenges. Their ice clouds should break blocks to avoid cheese tactics/op strategies like just build some blocks above and you are safe. The iceologer should drop magic cold dust and with a new alchemy table that you could find in the new archeology structures it can create magic stuff. Combine a lot of dust with a book and you can create a new enchantment to the sword, freezing. It freezes (slows down) mobs.

    Yes. The structures we have don't add much to the game in some areas. This would help add a sense of mystery.

    Abandoned Castle would be AMAZING. If they aren't implemented in 1.17 though, i don't know if they ever will.

    They should be as rare is woodland mansions, if not more. The Cartographer could sell a map for them. Maybe there could be small variants that spawn more often!

    I think it’s a great idea. Maybe not necessarily a castle but more of a fortress would be cool. It could be about 1/4 the size of a woodlen mansion so not to big but still pretty big and maybe that’s where the iceologer could have lived lmao

    Yeah, this already exists. I remember sometime in 2017 i saw an abandoned castle in minecraft snow biomes, sorry. (DISCLAIMER) i probably remember this wrongly but i swear to god i found one in bedrock.

    Voted! We could use more stuff in snowy biomes.

    I like this idea! Minecraft really needs a new big dungeon for adventure, with challenging mobs. The woodland mansion is the only thing of the sort that minecraft has, which can be easily cheesed by burning it down. Ocean monuments and nether structures are a bit too small and boring for it to be considered a proper minecraft dungeon adventure.

    Adventuring into dangerous dungeons is part of what makes minecraft so fun, but it's very lacking in that department. The woodland mansion is too rare, and it gets boring if it's the only dungeon you explore.

    Please do add something like this, it'd be really fun! It's also perfect for bases.

    The "cliffs" side of 1.17 Absolutely NEEDS this!! Voted.

    I made suggestion about Knights outpost. It kind-a extends your Castles Idea. Knights are opposite to pillagers: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360048202172-Knights-outpost

    Definitely,. new giant mountains need more content. Castles are perfect

    I think that this is a good place to add the illusioner.

    And Cartographers from nearby villages could possibly give maps to the castles

    Maybe a redstone golem or something else from Minecraft Dungeons could live there because I mean we got the glow squid from Minecraft Earth.

    Yeah, the snow biome and mountains really dont have much and this is a very good idea, especially with the caves & cliffs update coming.

    Cool idea but it must be rare because just imagine go to snow biome and instantly find this and find a chest with oh i dont know stack of diamonds just it must be very very very very very very very very very rare ok mayebe (i dont know how to write it) not that rare but it must be rare ok Mojang? :-)

    It's a good idea, it could even be the home of the iceologer. I really like natural structures, I hope this idea will be in a next update

    This is actually a puzzle piece for Minecraft.
    Normaly people post entire updates, or stuff that doesn't fit in. Minecraft is like a giant puzzle, everything has to fit! Nice puzzle piece you got there :) Voted

    Puede ser, pero me gustaría que estuviesen fusionados con la montaña no solo con paredes de hielo sino también de piedra y con snow golems encerrados.

    Amigo, está es una gran idea para añadir a Minecraft.
    La verde que le daría un toque más grande a Minecraft y además le daría más usos a las cadenas que vienen en la 1.17

    There could be a mountain fortress where the illusioner lives.

    I like this idea, but I think maybe it would be better in a different biome. Like the tiaga (whoops, can’t spell) perhaps...

    Maybe even make them one per world, and naturally spawned, halfway broken iron golems live there.
