Exploring The Ocean

Throughout the years Minecraft has been getting various updates adding new buildings in the game. They've added Villages, Mineshafts, Jungle Fortresses, Pyramids, Nether Fortresses, and Strongholds. These are all quite fun and interesting to explore, but I've felt that the ocean has been left aside. My idea for the Minecraft Idea Contest is to add some kind of buildings in the depths of the ocean. It could be from a large city, or (what I was thinking) some abandoned ruins. There could be traps, and many different passageways. I was thinking for the ruins to have some inside rooms where there is no water, and also other parts which are flooded.

This could also be time for some Underwater helmets! You could place a glass in the middle of the crafting area, and surround it by iron ingots. I have to ideas for the way it should work:

1. You are immune to drowning, but when you get hit just once, it drops from your head. You will have to get it. (Or make more and keep them in your inventory).

2. You would still drown, but you would last way longer.

With the helmet, traps could become so awesome. Imagine that you're walking inside a hallway, but then all of a sudden, TNT explodes and water starts rushing in! Sort of like Bioshock. :D

Also, you could craft some fins for your shoes to make you go faster. This could be using fish. If you place a raw fish in the crafting table, you get a scale. If you put the scales in the same shape you would make boots, BAM, you get fin boots. Scales could also be perfect for brewing purposes.

I was also thinking on some new mobs. Maybe some sort of fish-men or monsters down in the water. I was thinking that they would be the size of the player, but maybe have squid tentacles instead of feet. They could have spears which they could hit you with.

Anyways, I think that this would make Minecraft a lot funner than it should be. Also, Im sure that other people can get great ideas from this, and maybe add to it. Imagine all the new potions, items, clothing, and mobs this idea opens!

Well, thanks for reading my idea
