Before Notch added squid to Minecraft,when he came back from his trip, he claimed he would add much more content to oceans. Squid. That's it. Pbbbbbt
There are 2 things that need much work, and 2 more updates until release! Perfect timing if I do say so myself!
There is already a Nether update thread, so we can skip that, however if you have ANY ideas for the nether, please post them here!
First let's compare oceans irl and oceans in minecraft
Minecraft:
Water. Squid.
Oceans in real life:
Water going kilometers deep, volcanoes, underwater, mountains, many sea life such as whales, dolphins, sharks and ecosystems like coral reef. Crab, clam, oysters, tuna, octopus,
Oh. Water and squid too.
Obviously we cannot put everything in the ocean into Minecraft. There is way too much stuff.
Lets start off with mobs. All suggestions with mobs must come with a description of spawning, and an item drop.
Example, Oysters. Spawn 8-15 blocks deep. Passive. 5 health. Drops pearls, which can be made into a shiny lightly tinted block used for decoration.
You may think of other items, or equipment, (even maybe unique temples!) but for now, let's try to stick with mobs.
For the Nether, we need Fire Creepers. They are Red and when they explode they spread fire all of over the place. So then you have a chance of catching on fire.

This would be crazy. And possibly make different "Temples" or "Dungeons" or whatever you want to call them in the Nether (much like the ones in the Aether Mod).
But more on topic, I think the oceans should have coral reefs of some sort. Even if they were just little items like tall grass and desert shrubs, I think it would make a vast difference.
Actually there is only one more update until release, and it's the adventure update.
So, the ocean update. You should rename your thread so that instead of it being FUTURE UPDATES, it should be called UNDERWATER OVERHAUL
As for your idea, the only thing I'm really interested is fish being an actual mob, and the oceans being way, WAY, bigger. And I mean 3/4's the way to bedrock deep. I wanna be able to build underwater cities, without the hassle of having to create my own ocean, by using a ton of TNT.
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body, and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to death, Nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works
well in 1.8 there will be a new silverfish thing.. :DD Oysters would be cool to get pearls [shaped like slimeballs and shiny :tongue.gif:]. Sharks would be good for teh teeth, and you could make spears. It would be awesome to tame dolphins :biggrin.gif:

Please people, it still has not been confirmed whether silverfish is going to be a fish, or an insect, as the skin can be made into both. Not only that, but it also hasn't been confirmed if it's going to be in 1.8, a later update, or at all.

maybe whales? they could be passive and can have babies if you get in between the whale and the baby it would attack? they would drop blubber or something and it would attract monsters? just an idea.
Minecraft will be released soon. And the full release, needs to be a full game. But what is Minecraft missing?
The Nether
It has 5 different content from the overworld. Interesting? Haha, no.
The Oceans

Fire creepers! I like that!
Sort of like napalm?
What do they drop?

I was thinking a block with a large particle effect?
