Biome-Dependent Mineshafts.

This suggestion is to overhaul the common/generic "oak wood mineshaft generation across most biomes" (aside from surface Mesa mineshafts; which have dark oak wood) and bring some diversity with different themes/appearances for these structures.

In short, these mineshafts should become biome-dependent, just like with villages.

 

Biome-Dependent Mineshaft generation ideas include...

 

-Oak (Mushroom) Mineshafts (within the Mushroom Islands).

-Oak (Flooded) Mineshafts (within any Ocean types and Swamps).

-Oak Mineshafts (within Plains and Oak Forests).

-Oak (Sandstone) Mineshafts (within Deserts).

-Birch Mineshafts (within Birch Forests).

-Dark Oak Mineshafts (within Dark Oak Forests).

-Dark Oak (Red Sandstone) Mineshafts (underground within Mesas).

-Acacia Mineshafts (within Savannahs).

-Spruce Mineshafts (within any Taiga types and Extreme Hills).

-Spruce (Ice) Mineshafts (within Icy Plains and Ice Spikes).

-Jungle Mineshafts (within Jungles).

    Great idea! I love when I see something on this page that isn't only possibly accurate for a mod.

    I like the idea yes, though I'd prefer it if flooded mineshafts occurred in swamplands instead. Nobody in their right mind mines under the ocean anyways.

    Also different occupants for abandoned mineshafts would be nice, I hate having to deal with cave spiders. Maybe subterranean versions of the undead, or even dwarves/goblins could be occupants.
