I saw that Notch was thinking about adding Volcanic Biomes to 1.9 and if so I have some ideas for it. First, off before you can even get in there, you would need a new type of armor,(because the volcanic area would be WAY too hot for the normal feet and armor) I'm thinking about obsidian armor, (maybe obsidian tools?) which would be resistant to the burning ground. For the ground blocks maybe molten rocks, (which can be used as a defense against mobs and minable with either obsidian or diamond tools just depends, at your house, though be careful for it not to get too close!) Now onto the mobs.
Fire Golems: These guys are huge and take a ton of damage, (ten diamond sword hits at least). They can smash you to bits, pick up molten rock blocks and throw it at you, and spew lava out. They drop one diamond OR a lot of molten rocks.
Dragons: These epic beasts, wait for you at the top of the volcano, and as you make your way up the volcano, they shoot fireballs at you which can take one heart off and could knock you off! There will also be bones where the dragon is. Once, you reach the top they will use moves like tail slashes, flame, fireballs, stomp, knock you with the batting of their wings. They take 20-50 hits with a diamond sword, or obsidian, (you can decide on how many hits it takes). Then, after you defeat it you get the hoard of treasure it had. Twenty diamonds, diamond armor, bones, gold blocks, etc.
Also maybe a 5% chance of seeing a eruption happen?
These are just my ideas though... I hope you liked them! :biggrin.gif:
one of the better ideas for a volcanic biome i have herd. the monsters seem a little over powered though and boots from slime balls or something might be a better idea.
interesting but sounds more like a new area like the nether. possible mod?
Also, Notch already said there wouldn't be obsidian tools or armor but some sort of power ups maybe.

but good idea for a mod =]
Just thought I'd share this. I would love it if stuff like this existed naturally. :biggrin.gif:
