Biome Idea: Rocky Coastline
Living in the PNW, I've had a chance to explore local ecology in our vivid coastlines which feature hoards of driftwood, tide pool critters, and unique rock formations. I think it would be fun to bring some of those to a new Minecraft biome. Further description is in Slide 3.
*Other things I did not mention:
- Driftwood would not yield a full wood set, in keeping with its real-world dryness and fragility, but it can be used as fuel in furnaces.
- Wet sand of all variants and wet driftwood can be dried in furnaces, just like wet sponges.
- Potential new mobs could include: starfish, orca whales, and crabs.
- As an homage to 'The Goonies' (which was set in Astoria, Oregon), intact shipwrecks can sometimes generate within aquifer-caves in this biome, entered via coves.
