New rooms and changes to update mineshafts for 1.17

The minecarts room: The 'official entrance of the mineshaft', there would be a bunch of minecarts, some rails, powered rails and maybe even some detector rails that would start branching out and would end up being connected with every part of the mineshaft. There could be a small chest with a few minecarts in this room.
The railway::
Different types of railway sections,
- A railway section just like the one we know with the normal rails.
- A railway section with detector and powered rails.
- A part with a big, deep tunnel that goes to very low Y levels.
And another idea for making the common railway sections more interesting could also be a new mob, one that is exclusive to mineshafts, probably a mining-related mob would be the best option.
Also the loot in minecarts should only contain elements that are actually used for mining instead of elements that are mined or rare items since it wouldn't make sense to leave all of these so exposed and in the middle of the railway. They should have stuff like: Rails (of most types), torches, pickaxes, shovels, etc.
The storage rooms: These rooms would be where the most 'precious' items were stored, here would go all the minerals that were mined + the rare items that are kept underground for safety or in case they are needed (enchanted books, name tags, etc.). This rooms would be a bit small, and have about 3 small chests and a few furnaces or maybe blast furnaces, the chests would contain loot, the blast furnaces would not.

    @Timothy Flamewalker , just because they did that once doesn't make it a precedent, and I for one would love to see this cuz mineshafts aren't the most exciting and this would be a great time thematically and because it would be so cool for more variety with mineshafts. possibly different rooms/ loot depending on the cave biome?

    Well, current mine generation is kind of broken, so just a few tweaks in the way they spawn and generate would be interesting, and quite honestly, I can't see how they wouldn't do that. With new cave gen, not only current mineshaft spawn will break completly, there's probably gonna be major change... Also, there's room for lots of room for new features, and would be shamefull if nothing is changed, as this is the cave (and cliffs) update.

     

     

    Also, the entrance is interesting, the "landmarks" stuff makes me feel like there should be an entrance to mineshafts, which would lead you into a maze of corridors (this would also help with the "first night feel" they want to bring back... That's the entire point of them, to start with, and the broken generation doesn't help...), maybe at the foot of a hill and biome based? But that's too much especulation...
