Ever noticed something? Minecraft has no fruit trees. Sure, apples and cocoa drop from leaves, but that doesn't really cut it. But it would be silly if Steve could just bump into them in the wild, getting a free source of food for the rest of his life. So how about a challenge?
Abandoned Orchards to the rescue!
Dark, dank, and boggy, these overgrown orchards are filled with several gnarled fruit trees, a small ruin of a shed, and a spider spawner! The shed contains a chest full of fruit tree saplings and a couple garden supplies, plus gnarled sticks and rotten apples. Around the spider spawner is a mesh of webs, which also guards some less underwhelming loot such as diamonds and armor.
These orchards spawn around swamp biomes, very rarely. They're rare because food is actually one of the most valuable things in Minecraft, and making a free source of fruit common and exploitable would take away some of the fun. So what would you say to a mossy, crumbling old orchard that is filled with spiders if it gave you awesome food and other loot if you decided to clear it up? Compared to a bunch of easy-to-find fruit trees dotted about a forest, I think it sounds awesome.
This sounds like a good idea although how would you show the types of trees in the orchard?
and can you harvest the tree's wood and make your own orchards?

la la lalalala sing a happy song,
la la lalalala mine the whole day long!
This seems good, but a spider spawner seems a bit too easy. Also, would the tree be a new type of tree, or an old one? Having to keep so many types of saplings and wood can get annoying. Would new fruit spawn on an old tree, or would you have to chop it down and replant?

The trees use normal wood for their trunks, but have different leaves. The trees in the original orchard will have fruit, but less than player-planted trees. And I did say that the shed contains saplings for each tree.
However, the note of a spider spawner being to easy is a good one to bring up. Is there any way you think it could be made harder?

Maybe Iron or something.
