Briny Deep Biome

An idea for a new deep ocean biome called the Briny Deep. This biome would be characterized by fossils and brine pools on the seafloor. No fish would spawn in this biome. The brine pools on the seafloor would damage the player and be filled with Briny Water. Briny Water would be denser than regular water and could be put in a furnace to obtain salt. Briny Water could also be crafted by combining a bucket of water with salt. Salt would be a new item used for curing raw meat and curing rotten flesh into jerky. Salt could also be crafted into blocks. The Briny Deep could also be home to a unique mob, the Brine. The Brine would be a water-themed mob similar to the Blaze and Breeze. It would shoot jets of brine water at the player and would drop Brine Rods which could be crafted into salt. This would be a fun new biome that provides a new unique resource.
