Crystal Caves

Mining is a part of minecraft, So why not adding colorful crystal structures in geometric shapes to caves, That can be found when you go deeper in the mines?

    Crystals should have several uses: decorative, crafting, and MAGIC. In my idea I used crystals as a resource for changing the weather https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360055990771-Hidden-in-the-jungle-is-a-totem-that-changes-the-weather-

     In order of rarity, Quartz Crystals, redstone and lapis crystals, with diamonds being the rarest. Drops their respective items

    I think some journeys to the center of the Earth type thing would be cool especially if some of the crystals acted like bridges and there were some inhabitants like Diamondhead beings from Ben 10 living there. Or maybe not.

    OOH I love this idea and possibly they could be used for new weapons.

    and maybe the colorful crystals could be used for multi color light sources, or just a new light block that has different colored variants

    一个巨大的，空旷的水晶洞，水晶洞中有很多巨型水晶柱。乃至于洞穴的各处都是拥有低亮度并拥有镜面材质的水晶

    但是矿洞是否要调整一下生成高度？

    mercy langley - that is a SUPER cool idea. 

    Original Poster- I think that is a great idea, perhaps different colored crystals could be more rare than other colors? White could be the most common crystal and Lavender could be the rarest? That would make it even cooler!

    I like this idea, especially pairing it with a new villager job block for geologist - crystals could be used in some sort of magic and / or coloured decoration etc.

    I think that'd be a great idea.  It'd add some color to caves and could be a nice new building block.

    I love ideas like this. Here is my revamp...

    Caves no longer cut off ores(WAYYYY too often you just find 1 diamond in a cave) but instead, Anything it cuts off becomes ore crystals! Heres how generation would work.

    -1st it generate the world

    -2nd generates caves

    -3rd generates ores. Any ores that occupy at least 1 block of "normal ore" in generation spawn in the rest of the ore pieces in ore crystals.

    The outside of these crystals are ore shards, and yield double the normal amount of resources and xp as usual. In the case of gold and iron, it is automatically ingots and yields double the amount of furnace xp. Anything that is not covered by these shards form the main body of these crystals, the crystal blocks. Mining these yields triple. Note: balancing will ensue on these absurd rates(triple is "a little bit" too high), but the general idea is to make cave mining worth the risk.

    If you mine these with silk touch, they yield the shard/block itself, which is super cool and a good building/lighting block.

    Crystal Caves would be a beautiful and unique addition to Minecraft. They would be used light and could make colored lanterns. It would be cool to find a crystal cave and a mineshaft together, you could possibly find crystals in the chest minecart. I think it could also be used to make armor and some other things.

    Maybe some crystals can be used with the smithing table in order to enhance armors, tools and weapons.

    Having caves made out entirely of crystalls,whether they are small or huge that would be a great expansion to the existing plain and boring Minecraft caves,in which we spend most of our time mining.I think that it would be nice while mining to stumble upon something made out entirely of huge crystall,all with different colors and perks,maybe they could be used to introduce ,a new slot,in which you could add a ring made of crystalls that grants you perks,for example, if you find a red crystal to give health regeneration boost ,all while being worn,green crystall could give you mining boost,and the blue crystalls strenght.Also this new blocks that will be dropped from the crystall when mined,will be used to upgrade your iron and gold tools to either make them more durable,increase their mining speed,or give you a small chance of luck to find diamonds more easily and more quickly.

    Ooh, that would be so pretty! Maybe you could mine crystals and make decorations? Just a thought. But it would be cool.

    I think crystals caverns would be a great addition to the game! I would even say that we could craft them together with Redstone lamps and make the first colored lighting, which every builder out there wants in the game! It would be the perfect place for Mojang to introduce colored lighting as crystals, all of the different colors, refract light into their own respective hues! Anyone agree?

    I had this idea recently, and if something like this would get added I will play minecraft as much as I played before.

    The "Crystal Raven":

    A gigantic sized cave only found very deep below. It should be a completely new biome with mystical mobs and interesting structures, example:

    - bioluminoscent stones
    - a special type tree/mushroom
    - crystals
    - an amethyst ore
    - "swarm dragons", small sized purple dragons which can be tamed by feeding them
    - special type of rock which grows only in that zone

    Besides that, caves should have better ambient sounds, for example the movie "Made in Abyss" which has a soundtrack called "The Pit", a very chilling track that fits the minecraft cave environment.

    I would really want this in Minecraft! Where you stand is dark but everywhere you look is glowy! That would be a dream come true.

    Crystal Blocks - Dimly-lit, slightly opaque blocks that can come in the colors of black, red, green, brown, blue, purple, cyan, light gray, gray, pink, lime, yellow, light blue, magenta, orange, and white. They spawn in the Crystal Cave biome and cannot be crafted. Only obtainable via Silk Touch

    These are what they could be like and I would love if they can be a light source

    And some hostile mobs that have those crystal on their backs and can use it to camouflage and attack when you’re not looking:)
