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 !

    I like the idea of cave biomes, but they should have an equivalence to the biome of the surface above. That way it would only require the modification of the terrain generator and not the biome system (a biome per 256 m tall column of any horizontal shape). I would also like that some temperate biome/s had "pre-update" caves, to encourage "mining travels", since the other biomes had exclusive features, like emeralds on mountain biomes (you have to go there to mine emeralds). But I think it would be better if the "biomed" caves were in the top half of the underground and the lower, were "pre-update" styled caves, to better match the real world, real "bedrock" caves.

    Stalagmite would be very unnatural in Minecraft, because what would they drop. They’d also have to be more graphic than the traditional block-like texture. Also using things like stone slabs and cobble walls would not be very natural and kind of annoying, as it would add more drops in a cave than normal. Again, unnatural and straying from traditional Minecraft

    What about coloured crystals that glow in the dark? Maybe make it advanced by allowing it to emit its colour.

    I.e. Red crystal emits a red light.

    Could acts as a crafting recipe for new redstone  lamps or glowstone!

    Mabye going along with the biome specific caves you can only get some gems (New ores/gems pls) in those biome specific caves and maybe undergound zombies have an undead miner look with a pick, and you could add a trader that only spawns underground and has trades you can only get from it but what it is or what it looks like is up to you

    Yea I think that caverns and differ breeds of bat's like vampire bat's that attack u and give u a new effect called vampires bite which over the cause of 10 min u will slowly take damage but not enough to kill u

    That's just my idea though😊😜

    There could be miner zombies with gold helmet they could drops pick axe and some new ores or coal and weak ores you could add new ores new cave biome a new block like the stone cutter but instead it’s the ore cutter it would cut the ores in to different shapes and maybe make them in to different items and blocks that are new and look nicer for building with them there can be Dungeons it would be like a strong hold but there would be more loot and new items enchanted books and Weapons and armor new armor new weapons and more and a new boss mob like a big spider or a big skeleton miner or something cool like that as well as some smaller boss mobs that are not as strong 😊🤩plz look at this and plz add this stuff too

    OOOOH how about new ores? Maybe Stolake ore witch is common and... well. is hardened water. colour is light blue though can be used for equipment and can be mined with a stone pickaxe. And is the 2nd weakest armor and equipment... replacing stone equipment and chain armor. Wait did I say that? no gold is the 2nd weakest material. I am such a noob.

    Cave Bear - Aggressive Mob found in caves

    • Physical Description: Looks similar to a polar bear but with a different color pallet and some some differences. They have red eyes, sharp incisors sticking out of their muzzles. Their front legs are rather long and bulky, creating a hump on its back. They’re pelt is a mixture of dark brown to black with purple color blotches.
    • Spawning locations: Within mineshafts, caves and at night. 1-2 will spawn within a 60 block radius.
    • Has jockey variants 
    • Rears up on its back legs to give a heavy attack, slow though
    • light attacks with bites and claw swipes

    I play Minecraft since it came out and i see they're recently fixing old features (villages, ocean and soon the nether) but not caves. They did add vertical biome spawning in 1.15 so they can now generate different biomes based on hight as well.

    This is what they definitely have to fix:

    - the look of caves
    - the mob spawning
    - the difficulty based on the dept
    - more danger (pointy rocks, ....)
    - a new special version of lave spawning in deep caves that flows faster but cant be used as normal lava
