If you want to propose a change to an existing structure (like villages), or add something brand new in a current dimension or biome, this is the place.

Active mineshafts in Badlands + Villager miners

Currently, mineshafts feel like remnants of a lost past. I propose making surface mineshafts in the Badlands "active" when they generate near a village. This would bridge a gap in the game's lore, finally explaining how villagers source the materials, ores, and gems they use for trading.

Features:

  • Active Structures: Unlike abandoned mineshafts, these would be well-lit with lanterns, have intact rail systems, and be free of cobwebs.

  • New Mob - The Miner Villager: A new profession for villagers. They can be found working inside the shafts, "mining" at walls or transporting goods in minecarts.

  • New Item - Miner’s Helmet: An uncraftable item obtained only through trading or as rare loot in Active Mineshafts. This glowstone dust-fueled helmet emits a light level of 8, providing dynamic lighting for exploration without making torches obsolete.

 

P.S. I'm proposing this so i feel a little less lonely when i play singleplayer 👉👈

    Great idea! I think that it would add a lot to the game, and it would be especially cool if the villagers would hum mining songs. (maybe a new disk?) I do think the armour rating and light output on the helmet should be 0 at first to balance it but maybe there could be upgrades for it such as light level +1, +2, +3, ect and it would have to be repaired or protection could be applied to it in order to give it an armour rating.
