About me: I am not a moder, coder or texture maker. I am just your average minecrafter with a few ideas on how to improve my minecraft experience and maybe others (if they like my ideas) as well.
I just started a 1.7.2 world and spawned on a deserted Island. As I was digging up sand on my shore line I had this idea that kind of sprouted off into a second one.
The first idea is about things washing up on the beach of the Island.
The second idea has come from when was digging up sand to change the shape of my beach. Now I don’t want people yelling about when a world is generated it is a fresh new world. But when I am digging I am thinking( “What if another minecrafter had been in this spot years ago and had to drop an item to make room for something”) I know items are supposed to “despawn” but in real life it would sit there until it was covered in dirt or found by another. With this I could find that discarded pick or shovel maybe even a piece of armor.
A. Parts of this mod/s.
There are two parts to this mod
a. Finding items on shore lines.
b. Finding items in dirt, sand, and gravel while digging.
B. Has another mod done something similar
Not sure
C. What do I think needs to be done to make this mod?
a. Finding items on shore lines
i. Just as the name suggests I think it would be nice to find things along shore lines. There
would need to be several things that I can think of to make this but I am not a coder so I
am probably leaving something out.
1. I think this would have to be biome specific. River and Ocean biomes only.
2. It should only happen when there is a large amount of water meeting a large amount
of land (shore line).
3. To prevent lag from items this should only happen very, very rarely as well as with in
“10” blocks of a player.
4. Items that “wash up on land” should be items that can be fished for.
b. Finding items while digging dirt, sand, and gravel.
i. Like the above I think it would be exciting to find things while digging.
1. I don’t know if it is possible to tell the difference between a block that was spawned were it
is and a block that has been placed where it is. If it is, I think that only blocks that were
spawned where they are should be able to drop items.
2. The items found should be nearly broken or have only one use left (tools, weapons,
and armor). As well as some “junk” items like you find while fishing.

I really like this idea, there was a slightly similar mod in a modpack from way back in beta years where you'd find chests in the sand randomly but not necessarily on the beach.
I really like the idea of finding the odd bit of junk around the place - you could even have beach areas generate driftwood chunks too. It would make wandering the beach so much fun.
while I was digging up sand on my little Island I was really needing wood to make shovels and I was wishing I could find "drift wood" to use instead of having to wait for trees to grow and that is what made me think about this idea.

This is a good idea! I also know how one would go about doing this. You make a block of sand, that would just have a different damage value, that would look, and act the same, except it would drop normal sand, and possibly one of the items. Then, you would modify how the biomes were generated. Simple. I may attempt to make this mod for you, and I think I can, due to it's simplicity. I think the driftwood would just be normal wood that would be a common drop from the sand. I'll PM you if I start this mod.

I've just remembered that I have to do some stuff in order to modify Mojang's code, that I'm unable to do, but is in fact possible. The naturally generated thing may actually work though, as you don't get apples or saplings after shearing off oak leaves and breaking them, so there must be some way to do it with sand, dirt, ETC. But I have very little knowledge of programming, so I can't do it myself. However, I will see f I can get a modder to help, and possibly make a YouTube video about coding it, so I can see how to do that.

Also, I have a suggestion for this; I think that there should be piles of garbage that would drop iron, leather, wood, sticks, glass, ETC. I think that would be a nice addition.

Acually you have given me an idea for a new mod. it would be a mod that adds a couple of small biomes. I am thinking of calling it the abandoned world biomes mod. I will leave a link once I have thought it through and posted a request.

I really like the mod ideas and think they could have potential. However you'd have to make sure players can't just find diamonds when mining dirt, sand or gravel!

The idea is that the things you find are the same things you find while you are fishing. This includes the "junk" that you can get along with the tools and items which are nearly broken or with only one use left. though I think like in this mod http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1285120-164smpforge-aquaculture/
there should be the rare find of gold ingot or iron ingot but not diamond.
