I think it would add a lot of depth if every once in a while in a plains biome you saw a little abandoned hut made of wood, some of which has rotted into dirt. These can also include tall grass, ferns, cobwebs, and even some vines to give it more of that abandoned look. I'm thinking something like the picture below (click for other angles), except some of them could possibly have multiple rooms. These would of course be procedurally generated and not just built exactly from a blueprint like the village buildings or desert pyramids. They should be somewhat rare, maybe about 1.5-3.0 times as common as villages.
Some practical uses of these:
A source of wood if you're in the middle of a plains biome with no saplings. The edge of the biome may be far (especially in Large Biomes mode) but one of these may be closer.
Fix one up (including adding a door and some torches) and it's an effective, if small, shelter for the night.
A source of ferns and possibly vines when you're far from a jungle or swamp. (though maybe these shouldn't be there to encourage exploring more biomes.)
There should be some evidence of previous use such as possibly a chest that's empty or contains cobwebs. Other then that this is a nice way to add a little more to biomes.
Also what is that block the house is sitting on?

Oh wait! There is!

Yeah, a chest. That's actually something I meant to mention in the OP. It could have some of the same items as the Bonus Chest, or it could sometimes just be empty, as if somebody packed up and left.

I Like It, It Could Use A Bit More Like, "You Could Fix It And Live In It" and having a chest with some tools or somehing would be nice. not too sure about the ferns but the vines i like. SUPPORT

Posibly. Meaby in djungles too?
What about large biome mode? Is it a mod?
Give it a half colapsed roof to, and meaby they can come in groups, as a abandomed village.?
What? We already have a large biome option in the snapshot. It's not a mod.

I have no idea how to build a large house. So I use a hut.
