New Cave Biome: Salt Caves

These new cave biomes will generate more commonly around oceans, deserts and mesa biomes. A new light grey stone will generate all in this cave called Halite along with a new ore type called salt ore. When mined with any pickaxe it gives salt which can be used to chuck and damage undead mob, used to cure meats, or used to craft more halite stone. Loads of new varying Archeology structures can commonly spawn in salt caves too, making this biome a very popular area to look for archeology structures. If the biome is located near an ocean, Drowned will spawn in the biome only, and if the biome is nearby a desert or mesa biome, husks will only spawn in this biome.

  It could also be applied to block surfaces to prevent snow layers from piling up and applied to farmland to stop crops from growing (would get stuck in current stage for aestethic variety).

  I think another cool way for the undead aspect is that it can be placed on the floor, essentially creating a barricade for undead mobs and they’ll have to path somewhere else. And when an undead mob ends up standing on it they’ll take damage and die until they get off the placed salt. When it’s placed it pretty much looks like redstone but light grey/white instead.

  Oh, this is such a great idea! What if there were gypsum roses there as well?

  I like the idea of putting down salt to stop snow.

  What if the blocks dissolved in water or if rained upon? It could be interesting for red stone contraptions
