Oasis

under review

There are no oasis in the game the desert is pretty plain and adding oasi would make it better including palms and bamboo.

    I think Carnauba palms would work wonderfully, as they could be also used as a different source of wax aside from bees, which is now well needed for copper.

    You could also have a skeleton (Non alive) there with a loot chest (Or backpack if they are implemented)

    A simpler solution than trying to give oases their own biome then program villages to spawn in deserts near oases, or worrying about whether an oasis would look stupid given how small deserts currently are, would be to add oases to the structure generation table for desert villages. The game would treat them simply as another decorative structure within the village, but to a player it would appear the village had been built around the oasis.

    An easier idea would just be to revamp the desert lakes biome

    It could make the oasis more unique if it was like mooshroom islands and the deepdark in that hostile mobs dont spawn in it. a beautiful little peaceful world in the midst of a hard life

    My personal idea for this is finding them by having a map that can only be find in the desert temple and once you obtained the map it will show you the location of the oasis.

    It could also be cute if the well of a desert village had a chance to be an oasis

    I like this idea if we add palm trees there's gotta be coconuts that could act as a seed and a fruit. And oasis specific plants like a juicy cactus that you can drink out of. There could also be vultures in the desert they would be a neutral mob that would attack when provoked. There should also be specific and unique items that can only be gotten with fishing in a oasis. There could also be an oasis village that is set up around the oasis with its own palm tree design with sandstone design

    Wait, I thought these things did exist already but they have a very slim chance of being generated

    i agree, deserts (like beaches) are really plain and useless, no resources, nothing to see

    What about restricting desert village spawn to near oases?

    There are lakes in Desert biome, sometimes has sugar canes.

    It would be great idea to add palm trees in Minecraft.

    This would be a great addition! I wouldn't mind if they were rare.

    I think that palm trees should have a trunk made out of its own logs, and that their log varriant should be a few pixels thinner than a normal block.

    Definitely a good idea. I think some grass around the pond would fit well, since grass can of course grow near water

    I like the idea of an oasis being a replacement for azela trees for the dessert

    There need to be a dried oasis biome variation too! With dried mud and a new tree that’s “dead wood” and no leaves

    I like this idea but it needs to either be less up for interpretation or more up for it because we could have a lot of rare things in an oasis. I’ll tell you what I imagine with an oasis, ok? So, I’m walking home from a long adventure in the desert looking for a desert temple and I see an oasis on my side with cactus fruit hanging off of large cactuses (I can’t remember the name of the cactus tree thing irl) and there being a very small town nearby the oasis with an almost Wild West type feel to it but of course without guns because that’s not Minecraft. However, I like adding this to Minecraft for long as it does not break what Minecraft should be and what it could evolve to become.

    This post should be updated from "under review" to "announced," since it was announced in the Biome Chooser at MINECON Earth 2018 alongside Meerkats (which are marked as Announced).
