I have recently been experimenting with sandstone as a building material and one thing I have noticed is sandstone appears absolutly nowhere naturaly in minecraft, seriously sandstone is like the most common rock in the real world so it should occur naturaly in some biomes.
What I am suggesting is a new biome region that is like a desert canyon region, instead of hills extending above sea level they are inverted creating giant holes that desend into the map. The majority of the land in these areas will be sandstone with bands of different materials the deeper you go down. Small ledges could be generated down the sides of the canyons and cave's could be formed in the side walls. Waterfalls would drop huge heights to the canyon floor.
The introduction of canyons would make for an interesting challenge if you are traveling across the world as you would have to detour around it or bridge the gap, also the huge deposits of sandstone would make desert themed structures much easier to build.
In large canyon biomes you could have multiple canyons intersecting creating small islands of rock isolated by huge shear cliffs which would be an awesome spot for a base/evil fortress.
Anyway what do you think of this idea any suggestions to improve it?

Stopped reading here sorry. Have you dug under any sand recently? This is where sandstone naturally occurs.
I will say yes and gives you many
if a few things are happened.
1. There will be cacti, cuz they are awesome.
2. There is a layer of sandstone
3. The dirt is better colored
4. Some trees
5. There is some sort of thing that makes it even more awesome
that is all.

Hmm, pretty good, maybe less trees, add some cacti, go below sea level.. Real bonus would be the below sea level because iron is hard to find, this just makes life one step easier, is it going to be easy? NO there is gonna be so many annoying rocks, dirt, sand, etc. in your way and you need to find a way to get to that ore, smack dab in the middle. WE REQUIRE MOAR DIAMONDS

On topic: Things like small pools of water, lava, or some small rivers, some bigger rivers, some lakes, some smaller lakes, some random leaves, some canyon-creepers, more creepers in general...
So Canyon-Creeper
This boy is a good-old creeper painted tan, or so.

There is only one creeper and it's already in the game.
But I think your idea is good, if the biome is completely sandstone.
I was thinking that maybe you could find limestone sometimes under dirt, and shale under gravel. I don't know how realistic that would be, but oh well.

I don't think Notch is going to add too many new ores and stuff in the game right now

Here's a picture to show you what I think it would look like
Just imagine it more blocky with waterfalls and creepers!

This is a must have, would be a blast to flood as well.
