Volcanoes and Volcanic Caves

You could add volcanoes in the caves and cliffs update and like the lush caves the volcanoes could lead to volcanic caves that are filled with lava rocks and ash (black sand). The volcanoes could also erupt at times and cover an area in lava rocks

    Tuff and maybe deepslate could be used as the structural blocks for the volcanoes, and could line some ravines filled with lava to create volcanic fissures. The addition of volcanoes may require a surrounding biome, Lava Plains! Areas of bare tuff laced with lava pools and streams. Some volcanoes could also have secondary/tertiary vents. Large deposits of ore could be located under volcanoes, as gemstones are created by cooling of magma within the earth's crust.

    Another idea branching off of this is volcanic mud pools and geothermal springs with geysers nearby. Geysers would work by this model: when a player or mob walks over them, they emit a hissing noise, deal the entity four damage points (two hearts), and propel them eight blocks into the air. Geothermal spring walls could also contain deposits of a new gemstone: opal, which is often found near geothermal springs irl. Stair and slab variants would be included, and I could see it being used as a building block. Volcanic mud would suck players into it and deal a small amount of burn damage, it would look like dirt but be darker and slightly desaturated.

    was about to make a post about this, seems like a great idea. kind of like a sequel to caves and cliffs. the caves could spawn more frequently you get to y level -64 and the bottom of the world. could probably look similar to basalt delta, with frequent ruined nether portal spawn. as for volcanoes, both active and nonactive would be a fun place to build  a base, without having to create a custom mountain.
