Improved Beaches

The beaches in Minecraft are practically nonexistent, very short and without a pleasant generation in general.

In this idea i wanted to suggest: longer and curved beaches, black beaches, beaches with gravel and rocks and mangrove beaches. And also a new state of the sand block: wet sand (they are close to the water).

If you liked this idea, please make it popular, I appreciate it!

    Nice! And how about some beach mobs and some seashells to go with it? If only this stuff was added in 1.13.

    I think they should make beaches their own biome officially rather than just the edge of other biomes that touch water. Like make long beaches with crabs, shells, seagulls, tropical bushes, palm trees, coconuts, brush on the ground, driftwood, etc.. It would be nice to see tropical areas that resemble Florida or Hawaii beaches. Maybe even beach villages or shacks with a villager variation of fishers. Perhaps the sand under the water doesn’t drop so suddenly like current beach biomes but rather extend into the water for shallow water. Sunken ships could be here too as like they ran into a sandbar. Parrots could also be here with the seagulls. A new variation of wood with leaves to mimic tropical plants and flowers. The water could be similar to the warm water biomes.

    I want a sand block like snow that has multiple layers you can stack on top of each other. It would be perfect for beaches allowing you to walk gradually into the water.

    I agree with this. At every point along the water there is a 3-7 block rise unless you are in a swamp. It makes it difficult to get onto land by boat or simply travel the shores without bashing into a bunch of trees. I also think longer or new beaches would inspire some different creative energy in people and can open up the idea for palm trees.
