New Cave Type: Ice Caves

I know a lot of people have suggested this, but I just wanna give my ideas / opinions on this.

Ice Caves will generate under cold / snowy biomes. The main cave can include:

- Frozen Ore Types (possibly)

- Ice / Packed Ice (different types of ice can be added / used to maybe make the cave look a bit better)

- Frozen Stone 

I had this idea that there could be ice forming everywhere on this frozen stone, with maybe ice growths (similar to skulk growths in the deep dark biome) to make it look more like it's slowly forming instead of it looking like man-made patches.

Someone also had this idea of 'Icicles' which is pretty cool, it could maybe spawn in ice caves, or there could be a variant of the Dripstone Caves (probably not since that'd be a lot of work for the devs) 

Post your ideas down below to maybe expand this suggestion

    How about powder snow traps, lots of stray spawns, ice only caves and icicles. The ice caves should have sapphires. The ice caves would be the only cave biome that would have sapphires. The sapphires would mostly spawn in the actual caves than in the cave walls (in stone). This would make it more benefitial to go threw the caves.

    Sapphire would be a new currency that you can trade with new mining villagers and also with new cave mobs like a ghost miner or goblin to get some new unique and rare items. Sapphires can also be used to upgrade tools and armor to work better underwater. Finally they can be used with a new alchemy table (magical crafting table found in excavation sites) to create new different enchantments.
