There's tall grass, so why not use a similar algorithm to place stalactites and stalagmites in caves at chunk generation? Granted, they might not serve any real purpose other than pretty-ing up the caves, but in all honesty caves can look a little... bare.
Occur naturally on the floor and ceiling of large caves. Can be gathered using a wood or better pickaxe or broken with a fist. Falling or jumping into one would cause a small amount of damage to players and mobs. Have a chance of falling when mining block around it; if it falls it will cause more damage than normally.
Uses
Stalactites and Stalagmites would primarily be used as part of various traps and to decorate your homes and fortresses.
Hmmmm.... I didn't realize somebody already came up with this idea! Kudos to whoever that was, I suppose. As you can tell, I'm new to the forums so I haven't exactly read too much of the forum history.
Suggested many times before. Please search before posting. Also, explain in the title. "Stalagmites and stalactites" is better than "New Terrain Feature".

Thanks for that; as you can tell, I'm new around here. Do you have anything constructive or relevant to add to the topic?

If not, they could be pretty useful in pitfalls if you could move them. Or built a trap where they were.
