Crystal Caverns!
Hello! I came up with a cool new concept for a cave based off of an awesome photograph I saw one time:
I saw that, and I wanted it in Minecraft! These caves, crystal caverns, would have several new blocks in them. Here's a photo of all the cool blocks you can find in the cave:
This cave is full of giant translucent quartz crystals, and is filled with clumps of calcite and various sizes of quartz and calcite crystals. It would only spawn below y=0 as the crystals form from igneous activity. Here is my imagining of how these caves would look:
Here is a cross-section of the cave
Perhaps some new mobs that like it in hot and damp conditions could spawn here? Or maybe there could be a use for the translucent quartz? It sure does look cool if you ask me, so maybe that alone is incentive enough to visit this place, aside from the fact that I think it looks awesome. What does reddit think? Is this a biome that should be in the game?
Before people start asking for uses for everything, though - coral doesn't have a use. Pandas and bats don't have a use. Sometimes things are in the game just because they're cool or add atmosphere. I think this is cool.
