The Calcite Caves would be a new type of cave made of calcite. I think calcite is one of the best blocks for building a house but you can't get very much calcite from geodes. This would be a good place to get lots of calcite. You could also find rubies, a new highly abundant ore in these caves. It could be crafted into armor, tools, or blocks. And because ruby ore would be textured like calcite, it wouldn't be confused with redstone.
The armor/tools are equal to gold but has a higher durability. Rubies also have the unique property of being resistant to explosions. Wearing a full set of ruby armor would completely protect you from creepers and tnt. Ruby blocks are easy to break but they can’t be destroyed in an explosion which would make them the perfect material for a base. You could also make ruby doors, trapdoors, and bars. Ruby doors could be opened like a normal wooden door (not like an iron door) and your copper golem can’t open the ruby door.
There would be a large mine in the Calcite Caves. Instead of cave spiders, there will be calcite spiders which are basically white cave spiders. Their bite causes the nausea effect. Calcite spiders can see a distance of 66 blocks, even through walls. It can break blocks, is immune to drowning, and it can walk on water. It will hunt the player even 66 blocks away. I can't just give you all this free calcite and rubies, you need to earn it. 😉

There wasn’t enough room to finish the post.
I wanted to give some more information on the calcite spiders. They will look like calcite and have the same red eyes as the other spiders. They are neutral and only become hostile when you attack them, or break a calcite/ruby-ore. The spiders should also sound terrifying and will send a chill down your spine. As an extra idea, maybe you could capture the spider, tame it, ride it, and it could like climb blocks? You decide...
Also, I noticed a massive spider image in the Trial Chambers, what is that about?
Enchantments
I thought it was cool that the mace only works when it is enchanted, so I was thinking that ruby tools could include unique enchantments. You would be guaranteed to find all of these enchantments in the End City or End Ship, so you couldn’t obtain them until after you defeated the dragon.
Ruby Sword/Axe/Hoe
Smoldering – Causes the weapon to do extra damage to blazes and enderman. There are multiple levels for this enchantment and the maximum level instantly kills the mob. This can be combined with fire aspect.
Ruby Sword
Shining – Causes the sword to glow red whenever a hostile mob is nearby.
Ruby Pickaxe
Clearing – This enchantment would let you mine a 3x3 block area. Breaking a block would also break all the blocks around it. It will ignore blocks it can’t break. This enchantment drains your hunger.
