Ice Caverns would be an all ice cavern, that could only be explored with a lanterns (still awaiting their introduction). If the cave were to be explored with torches or any other source of light that isn't a lantern, the cave would collapse killing you and and destroying all the items with you. In these "ice caves" there would be new mobs that could only dwell and spawn inside the cave. If they are lead outside the cave, they will die (don't know how. Open for suggestions) If any other mob (creeper, skeletons, cows, chickens, etc.)
were to wander inside, they would freeze to death. These Ice caves would contain a rare ore/mineral that would be very useful (still don't know what the ore would be called or what its purpose would be. Open for suggestions). Due to the extremely cold temperatures in the ice caves, you would only be able to explore them with jacket or sweater (Don't know how they would be crafted) if you explore a ice cavern with out a sweater/jacket, the temperature of your character would begin to drop. Once your temperature is below 32 degrees, you will slowly get damaged until you eventually die. (similar to your bubbles when underwater).
Tell me what you think about my idea in the replies down below :biggrin.gif:
NOTE: These ice caves would only be found in/under Snow Biomes
For the Ore idea, perhaps there would be a greater chance of lapis, chance of finding lapis near the "surface" or between y=20 and y=60.
diamonds are 20% more common in icey caverns to promote the player's desire to visit this area. Considering that diamonds are like 10 in 1000 blocks in a given depth, it would only make it 12 in 1000, but it is still more common regardless.
I've actually been in a world which practically had that. It was damn awesome. It was stone and soil underneath, and a solid ceiling of pure ice on top. Too cool.
That was my first ever world, it was to bad I lost it forever. In fact, the entire world was ice, with SOME snow. It was rather interesting and amazing. What would be an even nicer addition to this idea, is to actually make the north and south poles of the world snowy or icey with these caves as well.

I like the idea of north and south, but i spot one problem. For there to be a North and South pole, the world would have to be round. Otherwise you would simply never reach the poles.
I like the idea of naturally generated ice / snow caves! Possibly in the underground of snowy biomes. Not if it's a mod though, just if it was added in normal MC. But I hope Notch can consider something here :smile.gif:
Agreed! I think it would be a great concept to be introduced into the game!

well to fix the round thing theory just when the far lands are gotton to save the chunks from earlier and once 'uve gone that direction far enough u'll be bak there
Needs a little more detail like the actual mob types and what the ore would do. Other than that ice caves sound cool, I've seen one or two before.

CREDIT TO yoshi9048 for the ore idea
There is a mod in there that makes Biome Caves.
Give a man a fish, and he'll be fed for a day.
