Tropic island biome

This new biome will use some themes that already exists such as tropical fish and bamboo. The general terrain is relatively flat and occasional gradient increases, there will be two new trees, coconut trees; these will give the player a whitish wood and will grow coconuts on the tree that can fall and deal damage to the player. The coconut can be used to create dye, and can be used like milk to heal and remove potion effects, the tree will only grow on sand along the shore. On the in land you will find banana trees which give a yellowish wood and are just taller than normal spruce trees. The reward bananas that grow on the leaves and hang similar to coconuts. The banana feels your under quite high but depletes quite fast. The biome also has blossomed vines, which are the same as vines but are covered in colourful flowers. Jungle mites and spiders in habit the biome in the day and night and attack in sled defence if the player gets close, leaving the player nauseas. Parrots also spawn here and can breed using bananas. A new passive mob would be the the helmet crab that drops armour plates on breeding and blood on death which can be used for things like potions and cracking coconuts.

  I had basically the same idea. This would be a great transition from jungle biome to beach biome. It would be good to generate small tropic island biomes surrounded by beach within the ocean biome.

  I thought bananas could grow as a Banana Bunch block that breaks into 3-5 bananas. When a Banana is eaten it could leave a Banana Peel which can be turned into fertilizer (or for some other purpose?)

  I thought a coconut block could be affected by gravity only when it is not attached to leaves. Harvesting takes a long time unless you use an axe. When you do it always breaks into two halves that can be eaten for small amounts of hunger, or crafted into terrible armour.

  Gorillas could spawn here. The gorillas should come in 3 variants: silverback, normal (female), and baby. The baby will grow into a silverback 15% of the time. To be bred, a silverback and normal gorilla must be given a banana each. Silverbacks are fast and aggressive unless the player holds a banana. Silverbacks are also aggressive to zombies, and skeletons. The normal gorillas are neutral but will fight back when attacked. They drop xp and 0-1 banana peels as loot. I thought Gorillas were a good idea as they would be a powerful ally or dangerous opponent depending on how we interact.

  Obviously I think these are great ideas. This biome could easily be called Archipelago or Jungle Outskirts as well.
