Temperature System in Minecraft

In some survival games, there are temperature systems that a player must by wary off, adding another layer of danger to the game, and I feel it would be a great addition to Minecraft survival. The temperature system could be optional (toggle on/off in world settings) or could be put into a new difficulty: Brutal, which would be harder that even hardcore (minus the only 1 life bit) adding a challenge for even the most skill of the Minecraft veteran players and speedrunners. The temperature system could work as follows:

plains and forest are generally mild and require nothing to protect against

deserts and Mesas and the nether are extremely hot and make hunger drain faster and poison more powerful.

snowy biomes and the end are very cold, causing hunger to drain slower but making the player move slower and weaker to incoming damage unless wearing armor that would prevent the cold (such as leather)

overall, I feel this could add new challenges to Minecraft and give people new ideas for how to play the game. I will love to hear opinions in the comments and any (constructive) criticism anyone has

  Love this idea. Here is my take on it!

  *Minecraft is currently trying to differentiate the difficulties. This would be limited to Hard mode only!*

  In mountain biomes we were introduced to the cold by powder snow. It makes you so cold you freeze. That should be expanded to more scenarios.

  
  In snowy regions you would have a very slowed freezing effect. During the day you would slowly freeze for 5 minutes then take damage. At night you would take damage after 3 minutes. Leather armor would negate this as well as standing within melting distance of torches, lava, campfires, ect.
  
  In desert regions you would have a very slowed dehydration effect. During the day you would slowly thirst for 5 minutes, then take damage the same speed as freezing. Drinking a water bottle would reset the timer as well as jumping in water giving a purpose to desert wells. (Water bottles would be stackable) At night you would cool off. This rule would also apply to the nether.
