As much as I love the Minecraft deserts, I honestly believe that they need more of a reason for the player to travel there, and something more interesting than cacti and sand. One of the ways deserts can be changed is the addition of new mobs.I was thinking about the mobs currently in Minecraft and noticed that there are already skeletons and zombies, but mummies are for whatever reason missing. So, my suggestion would be to add them! Mummies would be boring however if there weren't any quirks, so I have come up with some ideas surrounding them:
They can spawn in desert biomes at night
Possibly pyramids in desert biomes could be added (think strongholds)
They can drop their wrappings, an item a user will be able to combine with something else to create a healing bandage, a HoT item for a short period of time
Possibly a mummy style curse/debuff on combat hit
Another mob possibility could be the scorpion. Similar to the silverfish in size, the scorpion could function the same way as the silverfish (except there is a chance the sand you break will spawn a scorpion) or they can simply be roaming the world. Scorpion quirks include:
Poison damage on combat hit (Cave spider)
New potion or weapon poison crafting item, the Scorpion's Tail
I like the idea of less water Johnny__Alpha, I'll add that to my main post and give you credit. If any of you have any more ideas feel free to post em here and I'll add them to the original post and give you credit.
