Caves Update

released

Hi !

We spend a lot of times in caves in minecraft but they didn't get any new or exiting features since a long time, that's why I think a cave update is due !

Some ideas :

- Caves biomes of diferent types of caves depending on the biome it's generated into, for example : Ice caves, bats infested caves, lava caves, etc

- Stalagmite and Stalagtite in caves, should be blocky, maybe like cobblestone walls

- More mushroms in thsoe caves?

- Mobs spawning only in caves?

There is a lot that could be done so that just some ideas, also the nether is a big caves, so it could be updated at the same time !

    Try making more interesting things instead of just wild mine shafts and lava but in that case make the caves bigger and the new stuff in caves and the caves themselves harder to find

    I don't agree on mobs just spawning in caves.I actually hate mobs spawning in caves. Cause caves are small and you can't hide or maneuver cause you're basically surrounded.

    Check out mumbo jumbo’s video on updating caves. He had some really interesting ideas.

    Like overgrown cave systems, different types of dungeons and, like someone mentioned before, rare caves with bosses and lava.

    I think stalagmites and stalagtites should only be present where the the caves open onto larger caverns, and should be made of whole blocks... Just a thought... Really like the idea though!!
    PS: It'd be stupidly funny if they made stalag-mites became a silverfish-lioe mob for caves. Similar in name to endermites xD xD !!!!!!!!!!

    I think that if we added miner villagers then villages caves would be more fun. Also more ores, we need a variety of ores to make new weapons,pickaxes,etc. Also new mobs would be necessary, like zombie miners, ghosts, etc. And last but not least, biomes. I have wanted biomes in Minecraft since 2015 and it would make caves more trippy, getting lost and trying to find a way out would be way more fun! Thanks!

    I mean. Better varied (in design) and more nice looking caves should be added too.

    This could also include a new villager that went into the mines and you could find mining, and would trade valuable ores.

    Just how some areas in the same city have different rock underground (ask a well driller or anyone qualified), Minecraft should do something also.

    The educational edition may be a fantastic place to experiment. Seeing as the game already has a jankily normalized worldgen that doesn't give you gnarly rng terrain like it used to, and already focuses on the real world at an atomic level.

    Seems like a safe no brainer to start gathering more information on overhauling over %50 of every world's generation biome-wide.

    More ores

    Mobs should look different in caves depending on what biome they're in. For example, a dungeon / cave with a skeleton spawner should instead spawn strays. Caves could have 'biomes' and the mobs would look different depending on which cave biome it is in. Abandoned mineshafts could have different reasons it got abandoned, and depending on that they would look different. For example, it could have gotten burned down in a fire, or a zombie infestation, or a gravel avalanche (which would be my favorite), etc. 

    Volcanoes! I'd love to see this added to the game.

     

    P.S. Some of these ideas I got from Mumbo Jumbo.

    We also need new ores like ruby or copper or magnetite which can be used for redstone and stuff, we need more uses for emerald, but most important is a new ore because it gets boring when all you have is diamonds, iron, gold, coal and emeralds.

    secondo me si dovrebbe aggiungere nella miniera : dungeon con boss, qualche "grotta" speciale con dei mob appositi per le grotte come i minatori fantasmi corrotti, zolfo, rame, rubino e zaffiro.
    Sfruttando queste nuove aggiunte dovrebbero aggiungere il crafting dell'acciaio ( carbone + ferro ) , polvere da sparo ( zolfo + carbone oppure zolfo + carbonella ) 
    Moschetto ( acciaio + polvere da sparo + legno lavorato), proiettili ( 1 lingotto di ferro + 1 polvere da sparo )

    There should be new mobs like lava monsters and crystal beasts and maybe blocks like crystal blocks

    I think that something different than just features like ghost and new ores, I think an overhaul of the actual generation would be far better, it might even make caving more efficient then strip mining, encentivising more exploration
