Polar Bear Dens and other passive mob structures

I was thinking about it and I thought we have had a village update, an ocean update, a nether update, and now a cave update, so what is next? Passive mobs have been part of the game since the beginning and they have been neglected to have a special thing all their own. The thought is that there could be structures in the game that are specific to passive mobs.

For example, polar bears do not just wander aimlessly all over the tundra, they live in dens that they dig in the snow, so what if we added that? It would not have any loot or anything like that, it could just be a place where they could live. To spice it up, if you find one with a polar bear in it, it will always be hostile towards you ( you would not want someone in your house either). Foxes and rabbits do the same thing in real life so why not add dens for them as well? You could also take it a bit further, add mud block and make mud pits where piggies like to cool off (this could be a reason to add the muddy pig from Minecraft Earth). 

Bees can live in a beehive, why can't other mobs have places that are meant for them as well? For example, why not a chicken coop nest block? It would work the same way as doors used to work for villagers (pre village and pillage update) where the more nests the more the chickens could breed. It could also have an inventory to store eggs.

To close, I think that it would be an amazing addition to the passive storytelling of the game, making it so that our passive friends have homes too!

    KeylessMink133 Yes! This could also be a time to add eels that could also hide in the coral

    This is such an adorable idea! I think it would be cool to have more structures that are just there for the passive mobs, like maybe the occasional haystack on the ground for the cows to eat, or dens for animals underneath the large trees (this would also be a nice chance to add more tree types as well)

    Love this idea! Especially adding the mud block and the muddy pig. The chicken nest block as well would be great. It could have an animation of up to five eggs on the block and you'd right click it to get the eggs and if you destroy it it gives you the eggs that were in the nest. The chicken nest block could spawn when a chicken choose a grass or dirt block as their nest and it turns into a nest block. The chicken might be locked to this nest block just like a villager can choose a bed. If a chicken does't have a nest block it lays eggs as usual. 

    These are many great ideas. Love the polar bear idea. They definitely need some love haha. They have nothing atm.
