Introduction
The current mod includes a Lothlórien that is, in my opinion, quite uncanonical. It has lights and houses everywhere. Real Tolkien's Lórien is only a wood, with mallorn trees, and a populated zone, the Naith of Lórien, at its center.

Here are a few suggestions I've been thinking for a while.

Structures and items
In fact, only one structure and one item.

Talans
Talan is the elven word for "ground, platform". It is used by the Fellowship during its first night in Lórien.

It would be circular wood platforms (mallorn wood, obviously) hidden in the branchs of Great Mallorns. The only access would be a hitlain ladder. On the platform would spawn 1-2 Galadhrim Wardens, a bed, a chest and a Galadhrim Crafting Table.

Galadhrim Boats (NOT ships to Valinor)
This would be the boats the Fellowship used on the Anduin. They would be crafted (following the vanilla boat pattern) on a Galadhrim Crafting Table, with mallorn wood planks.

While used, they would not break and also go a bit faster than classic vanilla boats.

Sub-biomes
I would like to introduce two sub-biomes : Normal Lothlórien and the Naith.

Normal Lothlórien
It would be a biome covering all Lothlórien, except the current Lothlórien Edge (which would be kept, removing all elven structures and lights, and spawning only a few Galadhrim Wardens and Talans) and the Naith of Lórien (see later).

It would be similar to the current Lothlórien Edge, having no Great Galdhrim Tree-Houses, but would not have invasions, and would spawn Talans and Galadhrim Wardens.

The Naith
The Naith is the most populated (and secret) part of Lothlórien. It would be situated between the Celebrant and the Nimrodel, and would not be viewable on the map until you've entered it. Once you have entered the Naith, you would get the achievement "Laurelindorenan".

The Naith would have the same properties that the current classic Lothlórien Biome has, but would spawn no clearings (as there is already not much Lórien left).

I hope you enjoy this long suggestion, leave a comment to improve it !
