Cave snails

Cave snails, general concept.

As the title suggests, this snail lives in the dark depths of caves. It is naturally devoid of shell, so it uses as protection the helmets that were abandoned by miners or that belonged to miners now dead. For this reason it is possible to find it in 3 variants (leather helmet, iron helmet and diamond helmet).

The snail has bioluminescent spots on the body (similar to those of the drowneds) and uses it to slightly illuminate the surrounding environment to move more easily.

Due to the scarcity of food in the places it lives, over time adaptation has led it to feed on the softest minerals, those that can be mined with a stone pickaxe, which it will release once killed along with the helmet it is wearing.

    I love this idea. I think the helmet should be affected by regional and regular difficulty, so Diamond helmet isn't that common.

    It shouldn't be a 100% drop chance either.

    I think this could be very unbalanced though, since this is probably easily farmable
