Title: New Biome: The Dried Sea

Title: New Biome: The Dried Sea Description: A mysterious dried-up seabed appearing within desert biomes — vast white salt flats with cracked earth, ancient salt deposits and the feeling of a long-lost ocean. Exploring it feels like walking on the bottom of an evaporated sea. Generation: Found on the surface inside Desert, Desert Hills, and Badlands biomes. Size: 40–120 blocks wide, 8–25 blocks deep (with smaller pockets as well). New Blocks: Salt Block — gravity affected block (similar to sand and gravel) with a beautiful crystalline texture. Suspicious Salt — archaeological block. Using a brush reveals random loot (bones, pottery sherds, salt shards, etc.). Breaks if it falls. Salt Crystal — breaks into 1–4 Salt Shards. Crafting & Building: 4 Salt Shards → 1 Salt Block Salt Bricks (2x2), Slabs (1x3), Stairs, Walls, Chiseled Salt Block Unique Mechanics: Solubility — Salt Blocks slowly dissolve when placed in water. Ice Melting — Salt placed on ice melts it over time (salt is consumed). Brine System — Add Salt Shards to a Cauldron of water → Brine. Smelt Brine in a furnace or pour it in the Nether to get Salt Crystals. This biome would add a unique white landscape to deserts, new building blocks with interesting properties, and a small archaeology + chemistry loop.
