Cenotes for the Cave and Cliffs Update!

I think this idea will go INCREDIBLY well with the new Caves and Cliffs update.

Cenotes are giant freshwater sinkholes found naturally in latin america, and they can connect huge underwater systems all the way to the surface of the earth.

I feel like if these were added to minecraft as a rare... structure? mini-biome? found in jungles and other dense forest biomes, it would really add a sense of exploration and wonder to the game. Like, will the player take the dive into the cenote and find a huge underwater cave? Or will they look on from above into the azure abyss in fear and awe, before running away as fast as possible?

    This is a great idea, I can already imagine myself running through a jungle and suddenly finding and entrance to this biome and jumping through it and exploring this biome

    This would be great, especially if it had a biome-specific mob that lives in them to give it a reward/challenge.

    100% YES! I love Cenotes. I’ve personally swam in them in the Yucatan, and they’re absolutely awesome. Or better yet, they should add jungly caves with ferns that also have a chance to generate with water, so it’d be both the Fern Grotto and also Cenotes!

    Great Idea! Mabie we can secretly make it the aquatic update again! Wait... What about a cave- ocean biom?!?It’s like the normal ocean but it’s more dangerous as well as a couple other things.

    Great idea! Maybe the glow squid can be found there!

    They are tropical, so it would really match up with the Axolotls. They are kinda deep, they sometimes connect to caves, other cenotes or just have a deep end.

    They have vines hanging from the ceiling or the top edge and have stalactites.

    YESSS!! I think in there should be golden artifacts and another archeology things because the "Mayas" who is a mexican/centroamerican civilization use to do rituals around this places because them were sacred, this could be so interesting for the new archeology mechanics!

    It is very interesting but I would add a new enemy as a fusion between an old guardian and an evoker fang, which when attacking you grabs you with its mouth and then releases you but takes a lot of damage xd is just an idea xd

    This is a great idea, I think it should certainly be added to the game, and maybe it could possibly be tied into the Lush Caves as a way of entrance for the plant life in it. But maybe since the Azalea Tree is like an indicator for it, it wouldn't really make since for there to be two ways for you to know that there is a Lush Cave around you. Also, I think the Azalea Tree would feel out of place in the jungle. It still fells like a good idea to me, though.

    Cenotes could be a good structure to implement as an underwater opening towards a cave. Maybe this can benefit from the upcoming 'Local Water Levels' feature which makes entering a cave underwater possible.
    Plus the obvious connection between Axolotls and cenotes (Axolotls are found in underwater lakes and some cenotes in real life), it would be fantastic to see this added as a feature.

    Some cenotes were used for sacrificial offerings by the Myans, so maybe you could find stuff using archeology.
