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 !

    Hi, I think a cave update would be great, just mobs only spawning in caves I think would make the survival gameplay more calm and bit boring because it would be way more lonely on the surface well getting wood, now I like my survival gameplay more action packed and adventure filled so if mobs only spawn in caves they could get stuck on one steep part of a cave which would limit the mobs that you fight and fighting mobs is fun! :)

    I think there should be more biome specific ores similar to emeralds in extreme hills but maybe more common?

    I think there should also be new gems/minerals/ores, something done with the nether, maybe a new dimension and new animals/mobs, because I’ve been playing since the start and there’s nothing really all that interesting that’s happened so far. Please keep the Minecraft community happy, I want this to be the longest lasting game on the market.

    I was recently thinking that, what if in caves, there could be indicators like bones lying on the ground of skeleton head here and there, and if you follow them, it'll lead you to a mobs spawner or dungeon.  Just an idea ;)

    Maybe adding like a different types of caves like a diorite cave or andesite cave or a granite gave each has different chances of different ores spawning like maybe diorite caves are more rare because gold is more abundant there and maybe Andesite caves are more common because iron spawns there. Maybe underwater caves could house PRISMARINE AND THERE COULD BE A NEW ORE FOR UNDERWATER CAVES like AZURITE, I honestly love the endless possibilities. And I hope Minecraft will get some torches to light up the caves and keep them out of the dark.

    Maybe add a backstory of how the mineshaft was created/was. Also possibly have the remains of the miners

    Hi

    An Idea to add to the cave update, maybe have stronger mobs down in the caves or more hazards.

    I remember back in 2013 when I started playing minecraft how terrified I was to explore caves because I didn't know what to expect back then and that fear of the unknown kept me on my toes even when I was just at a cave entrance.

    Exploring caves needs to be a lot more harder but also rewarding.

    Imagine finding a cave entrance and going down only to stumble upon a zombie horde or a spider infested cave but finding a chest with some decent loot in or a larger than normal iron vein or very large coal deposit.

    Mineshafts should be overrun with zombies and spiders and maybe (If possible add weak sections that can collapse on top of you if you are careless)

    I also agree that caves should be unique to its biome, desert caves could have collapsing ceilings or even floors with more lava pools, plains and forests could have the default caves we have now, jungle caves could be over grown with bushes requiring you to break through them to descend deeper, (If more survival elements are added like thirst, warmth etc then ice caves would require you to craft warmer cloths and desert the opposite, being to cold would drain your hunger faster and being to hot might slow you down and drain your thirst)

    Just some of my thoughts.

    We really need to find some things that are only found in caves, the mobs, items, and environment need to be different from everywhere else. It would be cool to run into unique monsters only found in the caves and new resources to find.

    I really like the ideas of new kinds of spiders, cave zombies, cave skeletons, new slimes with different abilities.

    Skeletons that actually use swords and shields, spiders that shoot webs at you to slow you down, cave beasts(dog like creatures with more fur, a little bigger and much more vicious looking. Vampire 

    Animals: Cave bears(hostile), vampire bats(hostile)

    Maybe the Mojang team could also add new structures and/or improve existing ones.
