Desert Wells are landmarks for Desert Caves

Desert wells are one of the most disappointing structures in minecraft since they do nothing at all. I suggest that they should be landmarks for caves just like the azalea but for desert caves. There are already posts about desert caves so i won't go in depth. Better yet it would also be cool if the wells could also lead you into a lush caves, an underground oasis in the desert.

  I would also like to find archaeological artifacts and loot when brushing sand near desert wells.

  Doesn't even have to be caves if thats too much, something like a guaranteed geode, or a larger than usual pocket of ore would be awesome

  yes! And the caves under desert well should be at least partially submerged.

  I think this is a great idea! Since the azaleas are not going to be a new kind of tree, I think it is important to note that there is relatively little chance for them to spawn in desserts so if we can have a good indicator of lush caves in the form of the dessert well, that would be brilliant!

  I agree, but caves in general aren't uncommon for it to need a structure to signify it. It should only be 1 cave type, & in my opinion lush caves don't fit. It would be a much better idea for it to signify dripstone caves, because 1: We already have a signifier for lush caves in normal biomes, but not for dripstone caves. 2: It fits with the lore of underground people once getting their water only from the dripstone, especially in the dry desert, & the water in the desert well is some of it.

  caves in deserts should generate with sandstone, but only above y=0

  I think this is a great idea. Every time I see one (in creative mode at least) I look under it.

  Good idea, but instead of a desert cave, I think it should indicate a lush cave under a desert biome. I mean, it doesn't make much sense if you find an azalea tree in the middle of desert.
