Woodlands bridge the gap between plains and forests. They offer a semi-calm place to rest, rejuvenate and relax. Covered in lush grass as well as a new block, bare-earth, woodlands are calm places.
Bare Earth is actually just dirt except it has a strange tendency to not grow grass on it. Bare Dirt is commonly found on the banks of the meandering creeks and rivers of the Woodlands. They can also be found rarely near trees and waterholes.
Woodlands also have a new plant, the purple bluebells. They grow thickly and can often carpet the grass in purple. They are quite a common sight in the Woodlands and one could come home filled to the brim with flowers.
Bluebells offer a new source of purple dye although it is quite inefficient to do so. You must first cook the bluebells then mix the resulting dust together. Bluebell dust can be used in potion making and a alternative to light blue dye.
Modified oak trees populate the Woodlands whose leave provide dappled lighting to weary travellers. These hazel oaks have a tall trunk and wide spread hazel leaves. They still make the same old oak logs but the saplings burn for 1.5x longer and can be used to plant more Hazel Oaks.
Conclusion
I believe woodlands would be a beneficial new biome with it's many advantages and ease of codingas it only requires 4 new blocks, one a simply modified version of dirt, one a simply retextured leaf, one a retextured sapling and one a retextured flower.
