I love the forests in middle earth; they are much better than the vanilla ones. I havent suggested in a while, due to school and work, so there are a lot of ideas. Please, let me know what you think. Sorry if it's rushed, I am in a bit of a hurry.

Varying Ents/Huorn sizes: 3-6 sizes for ents and hourns. This would make the huorns harder to spot in the old forest.

Oyster Mushrooms: These grow on the sides of trees, and would make scavenging for food in forests more profitable. It would also help out minecraft vegetarians such as myself :P. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus_ostreatus)

Fireflies: I know, they have probably been suggested before, but I really do think it would be an awesome feature. You could catch them in jars for a handheld light source.

Bats: I know, they are in vanilla. But I think they should spawn in forests at night for added realism and eeriness.

Owls: I love the sounds that owls make. Who doesn't? It would really help the night atmosphere. There could be different owls in different forests; a dark, deep sounding one in the old forest, and a brown, slightly-less-deep sounding one in fangorn. They would drop colored feathers according to the color of the owl (Obviously).

Owl homes: In trees that are 3*3 or larger, owl holes could occasionally spawn. Owls would stay in here at night.

Bat caves: No, not that bat cave. These would be similiar to normal caves, but 'rounder', with more stalagmites, and plenty of bats. They usually dont't go very deep, and are commonly found on the sides of hills.

Skeletons: Not the mob. An actual 'block'. These are two meter long skeletons that spawn rarely in caves, and often near troll hoards. They represent the poor travellers who lost their way, or were ambushed. You cannot obtain them in survival, because when you break them they drop 3-6 bones orc, elf, hobbit, dwarf, or man bones, depending on the area.

Mud blocks: These would spawn in patches in the forests of middle-earth. They would be shorter than most blocks and similar to soul sand, except they make you slightly slower. Pigs would spawn commonly near them. Bare dirt blocks would turn into mud during rain, and turn back soon after it stops.

Bird Nests: Blocks that spawn on the branches of large trees. Birds would (Obviously) spawn near it. In it, you could find an egg in block form. If broken, it drops the egg item. If the nest is broken, it drops 2-4 sticks, and occasionally a nugget of silver or gold. (Birds use shiny objects to attract a mate.).

Bear caves: I know that bears are planned, I am suggesting a structure for them. These would be small circular areas that spawn inside hills, with 1-2 bears and 1-3 bear cubs. In it you can find a few skeletons, and outside them, a chance of a bee hive (see below).

Bees and Bee hives: These would spawn rarely under trees. Opun breaking them, you recieve honey combe, which can be eaten to restore 4 hunger points. Bees would spawn around this; they are passive until you attack them or break their hive.
