2. Volcanoes would contain a new type of block called "active lava". Active lava would expand a few blocks every few minutes then go back down after a couple of minutes. With active lava blocks generated at the top of a volcano the lava would rise above the top of the volcano and cause an eruption.
3. Scorched Earth instead of Grass (would look like blackened grass and maybe emit the smoke particle that torches emit.
4. Trees would be "scorched" or blackened.
5. At the center of volcanoes would be diamonds (would give an incentive for going in the volcano)
6. A new block pumice would spawn which can be crafted into lava boats. (for those who don't know pumice is a real volcanic rock that can float in water)
7. Lava pools would be common.
8. Scorched Earth would have a chance to drop ash in a way similar to the way gravel drops flint.
9. 9 ash would make charcoal
10. ash could be mixed with bonemeal to make fertilizer which is put on farmland and increases growth over a long period of time.
11. Clouds could be black/grey in volcano biomes (because of the ash)
12. Volcano biomes would be medium/small because of the active lavas destructive power and the biomes potential uglyness.
Please tell me what you think of my ideas and add your own Thank you. :wink.gif:
I like the idea of having a big wasteland biome like this. :laugh.gif: However, I think that the 'active lava' idea would be very messy, because the lava would just cover the entire land after some time.

Honestly I think a biome with stone/gravel as a majority with lava 'springs' and one tall mountain capped with a lava pool would be sufficient, with no rain either. Doesn't require new blocks or new mobs, and the only thing a coder would have to do would be to find a way to configure the mountains to be generated with lava tops.
Would probably be the most dangerous biome to be in since tunneling might run into lava, but on the other hand it might have a higher chance for rarer minerals to spawn closer to the surface.
Yes, pat each other on the back in laurel of ponderance of the idea. Now let me declare that this idea is suggest more often then notch does some thing productive.
Volcano biomes should include:
1. Two to three volcanoes per biome
2. Volcanoes would contain a new type of block called "active lava". Active lava would expand a few blocks every few minutes then go back down after a couple of minutes. With active lava blocks generated at the top of a volcano the lava would rise above the top of the volcano and cause an eruption.
