Snowy Caves Hidden Under Powdered Snow Including New Mobs and Icy Fossils

So with the first beta releasing for the Caves and Cliffs Update I'm really interested in the idea of powdered snow I personally love it so far! I think it could be much better though. To make leather boots even more useful I think there should be giant ice caves consisting of tons of snow and ice and the surface of them is made of powdered snow. So basically you can walk through a snowy biome and end up falling through if you don't wear you leather boots into a giant ice cave. I feel like this would add way more excitement and adventure to snow biomes! My other Idea is that in these ice caves you can find fossils; an example would be in a cave there's a giant wall of ice which would be a new ice block that is a little more translucent so in these walls you could have a possibility of finding a fossil! Who knows maybe you could even find an archeology site in one! An idea for a mob would be sort of like a yeti but instead an evil snow golem; this golem would be the size of an iron golem and would attack you on site doing a fair amount of damage. Im not completely sure on a drop for this item but maybe some sort of trophy head. I hope you will consider this!

    Implementación de nuevos tipos de cuevas esta vez en los biomas montañosos nevados, en los que se encontrarán grandes ríos, lagos y cascadas heladas. En estas cavernas se generarán estalactitas y estalagmitas de hielo, además de que sirven de hogar a los osos polares. Estas cuevas tendrán 2 tipos de entrada: entrada principal habitada por osos polares y la segunda es que caes en una trampa de nieve, cayendo por el techo de la caverna (puedes caerte encima de una estalagmita y morir instantáneamente). También sería increíble si en ellos se generara un bloque de hielo que se agrietará hasta romperse si caminas o saltas sobre el bloque, así como si llevas una armadura que no sea de cuero o malla ya que las demás debido a su peso rompería estos bloques incluso si estás agachado (si se rompe el hielo caerás a otro nivel más profundo causando quizás la muerte ), también el creeper o TNT destruiría instantáneamente estos bloques de hielo, la explosión podría hacer que las estalactitas cercanas se desprendan del techo. Esta cueva serviría como refugio para algunos animales y monstruos en tiempos de ventiscas o tormentas glaciales: las ventiscas también deberían implementarse cuando ocurre una tormenta en el bioma de montañas nevadas que te obligará a caminar muy despacio, visión muy limitada y un nuevo efecto que será frío (pierdes la vida poco a poco si no pasas la tormenta en un refugio con fogata)

    Not a bad idea. This wouldn't be an out-of-place feature either because Caves are getting updated as well. There should also be traps under Powder Snow, so that people don't just ignore Leather Boots

    Great idea! This remembers me of a friend's old base (I think in 360 edition) which included a fossil hidden behind an Ice Wall. This is the type of stuff we want in the game. Oh, powdered snow can be placed by players. Cool. What about singleplayer? "Nah, that's not that important fof a eature" would not be a great answer. "GIANT ICE CAVES" is, actually, a really great answer.

    (Really, by the looks of things, powdered snow will be good for mapmakers, roleplayers and maybe SMP's. Nothing more.)

    I wouldn't make them undetectable, or I would put more valuable stuff in the snowy biomes because it just might not be worth it. Not that I don't like the idea.

    Bears would fit amazingly in these caves!
    They would chase goats and get crazy with honey

    I think this would go well in the ice spikes biome. Personally against the yeti though.

    I feel like some sort of Ice Blaze would be better than a yeti since we already get the warden. It could also become a source of ice.

    Minecraft is an adventure game but it's missing alot of adventure types.

    Cool Idea but i think it would be implemented differently as in it would be below mountains and other indicators

    a new tool to climb ice would be pretty cool too

    Translating Jin Raynor's comment, Implementation of new types of caves this time in snowy mountain biomes, where you will find large rivers, lakes and icy waterfalls. In these caverns, stalactites and ice stalagmites will be generated, as well as serving as home to polar bears. These caves will have 2 types of entrance: main entrance inhabited by polar bears and the second is that you fall into a snow trap, falling on the roof of the cavern (you can fall on top of a lylagmita and die instantly). It would also be amazing if they generated a block of ice that will crack to break if you walk or jump on the block, as well as if you wear armor other than leather or mesh since the others due to their weight would break these blocks even if you are crouched (if you break the ice you will fall to another deeper level causing perhaps death) , also the creeper or TNT would instantly destroy these blocks of ice, the explosion could cause nearby stalactites to detach from the ceiling. This cave would also serve as a refuge for some animals and monsters in times of blizzards or glacial storms: blizzards should also be implemented when a storm occurs in the snow-capped mountain biome that will force you to walk very slowly, very limited vision and a new effect that will be cold (you lose your life gradually if you don't pass the storm in a campfire shelter).

    We should improve golems not make them our enemies but good idea .

    Your idea would be very cool, but there should be more difficulty in caves, for example, than zombies or skeletons, etc.
    Be faster, do more damage, and have more health.
    It is as if they had stayed a long long time in the caves and in the darkness that are different, now you will have to go ready and prepared to the caves.
    But I like your idea xd

    It agrees very well to find buried fossils. it is still part of the excavation anyway.

    Sounds good because when I am at the snow ice biome its really empty so its nice to have all that so its not boring going through snow ice biome :3

    I have wanted Ice caves since I started playing Minecraft 2 years ago! The golem would be cool as a mini-boss

    Maybe also like the powder snow, there would be fragile ice that breaks and you fall deeper into the Ice cavern.

    Having the potential to find fossils in these caves sounds great and I can't help but feel like it would be further benefitted by having blends of cave biomes possible too. For example, it could be the general base of a snowy cave with patches of lush cave generation coming out from the cave floor.

    This is a really good idea I think maby the archeology brush could be used in powdered snow so that you can find icy fosils

    I think this is a great idea! The cliffs update is so tiny compared to all the caves stuff.

    I like this idea A LOT! They should also add ice stalagmites and stalactites.

    I've always wanted ice caves, it'll have very interesting mechanics such as it being slippery, and torches melting ice. Archaeological sites and fossils encased in ice is a great idea, along with something scary lurking in these caves!

    Currently the only fossils in the overworld come from giant humanoids. Perhaps the new fossils could be dinosaurs/wyverns?
