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.

Remove Mob Spawners

I know this would be very controversial, but I think that mob spawners (mob cages) should be removed or at least updated. Instead I think there should be naturally generated structures that naturally spawn one type of mob at an increased rate ( ie. a graveyard that only spawns zombies). This would keep the same general concept of the mob farms, but it would make exploration much more interesting. The spawner would be treated somewhat like a biome, so no matter what you do with it, the zone will always spawn a specific mob around it. This idea could be expanded upon a lot and any suggestions are appreciated.

    1) You have not proposed a good reason for why spawners need to be removed.
    2) What you have proposed as an alternative already exists ingame with wither skeletons in nether fortresses.

    This is a very cool idea. So basically instead of having mob spawners, we have hostile biomes. Spider Caves and Undead forests would probably be a good idea. I think this could add a great dynamic to the game!

    Keep the spawners but add the mob specific biomes. They should be rare but not as rare as the Jungle temple. Spawners are still necessary for some natural structures and for building, but mobs spawning more in different biomes makes sence.

    This destroys the idea for 'Mob farms'...
