1.18 The Cave Update

==Cave Update==
Here are someone's ideas for the cave update. 
==New Stones==
There would be several new stones that would spawn in different areas. All of them could be crafted into polished, brick, cobbled, chiseled brick, cracked brick, pillar and smooth variants. All variants except chiseled brick, cracked brick and pillar would have stairs, slabs and walls. These stones would replace stone, and could be substituted for cobblestone.
===Basalt (Not the Nether Update Basalt)===
Basalt would replace all stone regardless of type except for granite, andesite and diorite as well as decorative stones below a Y-value of 16. It would be black in color and all ores below a Y-value of 16 would be retextured with a basalt background. 
===Marble===
Marble would be a beautiful white stone that would be found between a Y-value of 16 and 64 and would be found in warm biomes.
===Limestone===
Limestone would only be found underwater in the oceans.
===Slate===
Slate would be found in cold biomes and would be more rough with a diagonal dark purple-gray texture. 
===Dacite===
Dacite would be a greenish-gray stone which would be found in warm biomes like plains or savannas.
===Travertine===
Travertine would be a golden-yellow stone which would be found in hot desert-like biomes. 
==Decorative Stones==
Decorative stones would be found less frequently but would be found in any biome and would behave like other stones except would require an iron pickaxe or better to be mined and would be resistant to TNT and creeper explosions. They also would have the same variants as other stones.
===Malachite===
Malachite would be a green stone with a light and dark green pattern. 
===Turquoise===
Turquoise would be a cyan stone with a dark brown pattern on it.
===Jasper===
Jasper would be a dark red stone with bands on its texture.
===Sugalite===
Sugalite would be a purple stone with a lighter magenta pattern on it.
===Tigers Eye===
Tigers eye would be a orange and brown banded stone with occasional brown lines.
===Olivine===
Olivine would be a lime-green stone with a darker and lighter areas against an olive green background.
===Azurite ===
Azurite would be an azure blue stone with beautiful bands of lighter and darker blue colors on it.It would often be found with malachite.
===Opal===
Opal would be a white stone with rainbow effects on it.
==New Ores==
These would be new ores that could be specific to different stones or would have different variants for different stone types.
===Hematite===
Hemate would be a black ore that could be found below Y-32 and could be smelted into an iron block in a blast furnace.
===Sapphire===
Sapphire would be a rare blue ore that would be found in slate or limestone between Y-16 and Y-32. It could be crafted into tools and armor.
===Ruby===
Rubies would be a red ore found in travertine just like sapphires and would be equivallent to sapphires in most ways.
===Copper ===
Copper would be mined with at least a stone pickaxe and would need to be smelted into ingots of copper which could be crafted into copper wires. When powered with redstone, copper wires could connect multiple furnaces together and would power all of them up.
===Nickel and Chromium===
Nickel and Chromium ore would be used to make steel along with iron and graphite and would be found below Y-48.
===Titanium===
Titanium would be found in basalt and would need be smelted like copper and would be crafted into very powerful tools and armor.
===Amethyst===
Amethyst would be found in rarely in basalt in veins of 4-8 and would be found in dacite below Y-32 and would have special abilities.

Topaz would be an orange gemstone which could be traded with goblins for good loot.
===Tanzanite===
Tanzanite would be the rarest gemstone of all and would generate in beins of 2-4 and would be 4 times as rare as diamond and is used to craft the ultimate tools and armor. The gem would be an indigo purple color.
==New Tools and Armor==
===Steel ===
Steel tools would mine faster than iron and would have 4 times the durabilityand deal 2 more damage. They cannot mine obsidian. Steel also could be made into rods to replace sticks for other tools. When a piece of steel equipment breaks, it would give you 1 steel scrap for every ingot used to craft that tool/armor. When a tool crafted with steel rods breaks (Diamond, emerald, corrundum, amethyst or titanium) you would get 1 steel scrap.
===Ruby and Sapphire===
Corrondum tools would have 10 times the durability of iron and deal 4 more damage than iron. They would have high attack speed and would mine almost as fast as diamond. Ruby armor would give you fire resistance, and the tools would light mobs on fire. Sapphire tools would freeze mobs in ice and sapphire armor would give the conduit power.
===Emerald===
Emerald tools would have 2000 uses and would deal 3 more damage than iron tools. These tools would mine slightly slower than corrundum but faster than steel.
===Amethyst===
Amethyst tools would deal the same damage as steel tools and would have 2000 uses. They could mine obsidian like emerald and corrundum tools. They would mine at the same speed as emerald tools.
===Titanium===
Titanium tools would mine faster than diamond tools and have 1500 uses. They would need to be reinforced with steel. They would deal 2 more damage than diamond tools.
===Tanzanite===
Tanzanite would be the ultimate tools. They would would have Muses and would deal at least 20 damage per hit.

The armor would give fire resistance, slow falling, night vision, conduit power, resistance, haste 2, dolphins's grace and speed 5 when equipped.
==Cave Generation==
Caves would now get randomy generated with even more variants than before. There would also be stalagtites and stalagmites along with collums and other more realistic generation. There would also be crystals that glow in different colors but they would be rare and used for decoration. Icy biomes would get ice and packed ice in the slate and desert caves would also get sandstone more common. Caves also would have a more mossy appearance and would have grass or dirt blocks as well.

It would display a map for a 64*64 radius that extends 32 blocks around you and would display the types of ores. It would also find abandoned mineshafts, gobblin village, dungeons, lava lakes and caves. It would display 8 levels of the map total. It would not find stone veins.
