If you want to propose a change to an existing structure (like villages), or add something brand new in a current dimension or biome, this is the place.

Community Generated Structures

This is an idea I made up just a while ago and that is you in your Minecraft world just exploring new areas and you come across this odd structure. Say a house, a cave or even a beautiful pond. You tell yourself that this seems odd and not some normal structure incoded in the game. Someone had to build this, and that's where community structures come in. Minecraft members can build any structure they can think of, say a castle or school and add there structure to the Minecraft world generated tab. This will allow other players in their own Minecraft world to see a structure that was made by another player. This idea can make your Minecraft world diverse seeing other player's builds just randomly appear in your world.
For this to work, there must be a thing to toggle on and off if you wanna have that in your world. Also if a person wants to upload their structure to the community, it'll have a voting poll to show if it should be a built in structure spawn in the game code.
For a structure to actually spawn in is real simple. Like any other structure that was was in Minecraft it spawn that way. Like those desert temples. Community builds spawn that way as well.
For the people customising their structure. You can apply where your structure will spawn at. Like if you have made your structure a dungeon, you can make where it only spawn in the desert biome.
The reason why I came up with this idea is to show that the Minecraft community has a well placed imagination. Also helping the devs out in structures. This is a plus for builders to show and show how amazing each of their builds. This is Minecraft btw, showing your ideas and imagination by just placing blocks.

    I agree with this Idea. Minecraft's fun is exploring, but once you checked out a few caves and seeds, it's all the same. SOMETHING has to be done to promote exploring, and this could be it. Content could be selected in a "Best of Submissions" contest that runs monthly. This content could include buildings, cities, caves, events, or mini-games even.

    Minecraft could be a game that stay relevant for generations, but only IF something is done to keep it interesting. Right now, once you killed the Ender Dragon the game gets boring, and I will NOT buy content from your market, it is TOO expansive. $5 for a virtual piece of clothing? Also, the content on the store is kind of useless, we want to add features to OUR worlds not use whatever world is supplied with the add-ons.

    I had made a custom world once for my kids and their friends. I spent quite a bit of time vetting online "schematics" and placing them in semi-random places in a custom built world.

    I was thinking it would be great if that could be automated. Selected a pre-vetted structure from a shared server at random, and place it in some newly generated chunk with some low probability. That would make the worlds much more interesting to explore.
