Please read the pinned post on creating new biomes and dimensions. Remember that individual items, mobs, and structures should still go in their own categories - this is not a category for entire updates.

Updated Desert

With the Caves & Cliffs only a few months away we need to look towards the future. As newer and newer updates come some biomes are getting staler. I will be discussing three categories that can be improved on for a desert overhaul. Mobs: Meerkats should 100% be one of the animals added if there was a desert overhaul. Camels, they should have 20 slots of storage, they should be slow and not rideable like the llamas. Mummy, this mob specifically spawns in the main tomb room and defends the goods, this mob should be like a mini boss (strong as a golem). Structures: Ancient Tombs, they should have traps, parkour, and at the actual tomb room their should be very good loot for example like 3 or 5 diamonds. Terrain: Palm trees, should just spawn around the desert near water holes. Water areas, small areas of water surrounded with some pieces of grass and usually having palm trees near them. Leave your ideas below for a desert overhaul!!!!

    my idea is that meerkats should be loyal to the groups they spawn in, cause they are in real life they also really need to attack others out of their groups. bolt holes should be added, and meerkats should make different noises in different situations. like when a mob appears, or when being hurt

    Might I suggest wadis (saharan dried river beds)? Might I also suggest a new, terracotta like texture for sandstone? Limestone fits the current minecraft sandstone texture better. Also adding tombs found withint the desert with traps guarding It and a vast vault of treasure with a large coffin in the center holding a skeleton and a totem or some special type of loot. Extensive research into saharan African culture has inspired these ideas.
