Everyone knows that the ocean is kinda boring in minecraft. So lets improve.
Lets add small islands that you can find scattered through out ocean. (If this topic seems to confusing to read, just let me know and i'll simple it out.)
TROPICAL ISLAND IDEA:
Okay, so lets make them mostly flat with a few small hills, and of course the biome is going to be made completly out of sand. I think it would be good small. Just like a tropical islands you see on old cartoons, you know were the character is stranded.... okay, off topic. If the island was to big, what would be the point of a ocean? So, like I said, small, maybe even tiny. There should be up to four tropical islands near by (like a island chain.)
WHAT TROPICAL ISLANDS COULD BRING:
I think minecraft is pretty good when it comes to mobs, but maybe add a few passive mobs you can find only in that biome. Like small crabs that hide in the sand if the player gets to close,that drop crab meat, or maybe seagulls that fly away if player gets to close. This will add a tropical feel to the biome. I think that a new tree type should be added to tropical biomes: Palm tree.Palm trees are only in sand, and can only be planted in sand. Palm trees should be very high (not as high as jungle trees) and "skinny" (one block wide.) With palm leaves on the top. And coconuts on top of the tree, where the player can knock down or grab. Coconuts should obviously be edible to. And maybe a new structure: abanded shacks. They should be small, made out of wood and support a chest full of items. Abanded shacks should be rare. Maybe 1 in 6 tropical islands. All this will add a tropical feel to the biome.
WHY THIS SHOULD BE ADDED:
It would be somthing completly new to minecraft.. You cant say it wouldent be cool to make a tropical paradise home. It will make minecraft slightly more intresting, and most of all improve those boring old oceans.
HOT TOPIC:
This topic is offically a hot topic! Just what we have all been waiting for. Right supporters?
ALSO:
My people of the minecraft forums. If you support this idea, then you should help get mojangs attention. Write a letter, use twitter, anything. This is important if you wanna see Tropical islands on minecraft.
Supporter Ideas:
Add jelly fish by the island.
Add small patches of Burmuda grass, a grass that only grows on tropical islands.
Add fish by the islands.
Add Banana trees on the islands.
Add Monkies.
Add Islanders and Zombie Islanders.
Add Starfish.
Add Clams.
Tamable monkies.
Rare drop for crabs-pincher.
Seagulls drop feathers and maybe eggs upon death.
Banana trees grow on Bermuda Grass, in the middle on the island.
Add Pearls that is a rare drop for clams, used to craft pearl weapons and tools (armour?)
I've read this many times, but I couldn't resist palm trees and crabs. Sounds like a very enjoyable biome. Now then, let's move on to my favorite part, the negatives.
[No, you don't. please don't criticize other people's grammar.]
Love this idea! We need this added. The fact the mushroom biomes spawn once in every 20 oceans, it would be nice to have something that can be kind of easy to find, but also rewarding at the same time.
It's been a long time since I first wanted to see palmtrees in Minecraft. And I think that your idea is the best I heard. The crabs are a good idea too.
Seachells shoud be there too, but I did'nt find any good "minecraftian" use for it at this time.
Apart from the spelling inaccuracies... well, forget about it. I shall control the grammar nazi within.
Anyway, aside from the fact that I have already seen this particular suggestion being put forth a couple of times before, I do believe that you innovated it a trifle with some interesting ideas pertaining to the "feel" of the proposed biome.
Back to the actual suggestion. Though I said I liked the biome, I think the stats for the extra things, such as crabs and coconuts should be presented.
Whoa, awesome idea for the coconuts! For starters, I think it would be a good idea if the coconuts were to these palm trees like apples are to oak trees, that is to say that one must destroy the leaf blocks and aside from the saplings, coconuts could drop. Now for the awesome idea I had. We already have throwable potions with their various effects and whatnot, but what if we took a coconut, added some gunpowder, and POOF, throwable exploding coconuts! This would add some serious value to tropical biomes. Also, how about getting crab meat from them crabs? Of the 13 foods, only 1 comes from the water, so why not have another food you can get from the water? Thoughts?
seagulls should drop feathers.
Crabs give seashells which can be crafted into shellbrick which has slabs and stairs
I fully support this idea.(The entire idea)

Are you guys sure these things wont be good as decoration?
I just came up with an awesome idea. What if there were islanders who inhabited the island? There could be a village that would be three eights the size of a normal village, with villagers. They could be the ones who trade things like coconuts or crab shells with you. Also, someone above said that there should be sponges on the island shores, and I do agree that there should be a way to get sponge through tropical islands.

Islanders might work, maybe. But do know that the islands are going to be small

Just build the darn thing already!

Also it would be cool if sponges could be found on the island shore.

I do support it.
