Beach Biome Variants (Lukewarm, Normal, and Cold)

The Beach biome should come in three variants rather than just 1. Also, having 5 variants (warm and frozen) could be a little excessive - only 3 is really needed). First, the Normal beach would just be the current beach we have in Minecraft with not much else changed. Seagrass and Cod could generate here. Second, the Lukewarm Beach would have the palm trees promised in the Desert biome vote update, and the water color would match that of the Lukewarm ocean. Seagrass, Tropical Fish and Pufferfish could spawn here. Finally, the Cold Beach would have the cold ocean water color, and it would generate as Gravel rather than sand (see beaches in areas like Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and islands above Antarctica). Salmon and Cod could spawn here, however Turtles wouldn’t. Seagrass generates here.

    Additionally, if Warm and Frozen variants were to be added, the Frozen beaches would generate as a sort of ice shelf covered with a layer of Snow blocks that rises up above the ocean. Turtles would not spawn here, but Polar Bears would.

    Warm Beaches would have the water color of warm oceans, and tropical fish/pufferfish would spawn here too along with turtles and seagrass. However, rarely, coral plants can spawn here too with the same rarity as coral reefs. Dead coral plants and coral blocks can spawn here too, sometimes above sea level. Grass color would be similar to Jungle biomes. The desert update palm trees would generate here too, however the palm trees that spawn in Lukewarm Beaches could possibly generate as a Fan Palm-variant like those found in Cabo San Lucas and the mediterranean.

    We could also have red sand beaches, pebbly beaches, jagged rocks at the bottom of cliffs and maybe even cliffs made of clay where you could find fossils in archeology. I also think tall grass could generate on some sandy beaches.
