Bane of Artropods deals more damage than sharpness to insects, but since they have low health anyway, sharpness is all you need to 1-shot them thats why i think its trash. In 1.8 BoA got buffed, now it also gives slowness to the bugs. But still its not needed since you 1-shot them. At least smite has an use, which is to be more effective versus the wither (and in the nether, since most of the nether mobs are undead)
I think someone should mention this thread on the minecraft subreddit. I hear the developers go there instead of these forums.

I did that a while ago, though. The issue with the minecraft suggestion reddit is that lengthy suggestions kinda get the "TL;DR" problem. There is actually a post on there that says states that issue.
97% of teenagers would cry if they saw Justin Bieber on top of a tower
about to jump. If you're the 3% who is sitting there with popcorn
screaming "DO A BACKFLIP", copy and paste this as your signature.
damn. But you should still put it up, and maybe send jeb and dinnerbone a personal email.
They have a personal email that is avalible to the public? I doubt that, and I also doubt that they would even notice a single email among however many they get. But if you do know it, I Might as well try.
I like the idea of a new biome specific mob, especially a hostile mob, The dungeon is a great plan, and it adds a maze-like feel to Minecraft, which is something interesting.
Might I suggest though, that the ants DO get caught in cobwebs? After all, the entire reason spiders make webs is to catch other bugs. Perhaps spiders and ants will be automatically hostile toward each other, simply because most bugs and insects really do not get long, what with the trapping and killing and eating and stuff.

Honestly, I dont know. I assumed some Redditor would know.

I have a idea, you should make black ants. (I am not trying to be racist.) They live in the forest and if you spawn a mesa ant next to one they will fight, the dungeon will be the same but brown/greenish, and make ant migration, when ants fly and try to find a different area to nest, 40% are workers, 50% are warriors, and less then 5% are queens, they will destroy crops and will try to kill animals, they will also find caves and build a nest, and for fun, add a way to make sure ants don't destroy your crops and kill animals like cows, chickens and pigs and sheep and BLAH!

yes, all the yes. Oh and if we're speaking of ant variations, maybe a fire ant in the nether.
Yup, I support this suggestion! Definitely would add an interest factor for mesas, and would provide some new items for people to play around with. You may have spawned a new generation of trolls with the resin idea tho
This is a really good idea! I have put together some specific feedback:
Here is what I like about it:
It makes the Mesa biome a lot more interesting, and gives more incentive to explore dry regions.
The ant dungeon is similar to the ocean monument in terms of mob spawning, mob hierarchy, and new block types, so it would fit in Minecraft really well.
The new amber and resin blocks look like they would be a great addition for building, especially in desert-themed builds.
There is more incentive to get Bane of Arthropods.
The dungeon seems like a good challenge for people even in late game. I find it cool that you took the high armour approach for the ants rather than the high damage approach taken by Guardians of the ocean monuments. This would give more variety to the overall dungeon fighting experience in Minecraft.
There is a new way to get Mycelium other than Mushroom Islands.
Here are some things that I think could be changed/improved:
The fact that the ant queen can place resin blocks at your feet might be exploitable by trapping ant ant queen, sealing yourself off from the soldier ants spawning, and digging up the resin. I don't think that the resin placing mechanic is really necessary - perhaps the queen's attacks can give you slowness instead.
I like how worker ants drop leaves, mushrooms, and seeds, but I am not sure about vines and crops. Also, I think that soldier ants shouldn't drop other mob drops; it would be excessive since other mobs already drop it in large quantities. Finally, I am not sure that ants should drop red sand since no other mobs except elder guardians drop blocks. On the other hand, it makes sense since they dig it up, and perhaps I should be more open to regular mobs dropping simple blocks.
Here are some small suggestions that can contribute to your idea if you like them:
I think that it would be cool to for mobs to drop things when ants kill them. I don't think they would replace iron golems because they aren't as strong and they spawn exclusively in the Mesa whereas iron golems can be built wherever you want them to be. Instead, I think it would be good for the game since it gives technical players another area to tinker with when making mob farms, like how Guardians are used for ink sac farms.
Maybe resin nuggets could be renamed to resin droplets or something like that since resin is squishy.
Perhaps the majority of ants that spawn in the Mesa are worker ants, with a small remainder being soldier ants.
Some Questions:
How big would the ant dungeon be compared to other structures? How deep would it go?
Is hardened resin affected by gravity?
Overall, I would love it if this idea were to be introduced to Minecraft. Support!
A very nice suggestion. I love it. The only thing I don't really like is the name "Resin Nugget". Maybe "Resin Droplets" which tank_101 suggested? That sounds good

Depends on the sword and other enchantments.

That makes sense and is reasonable. Sure. I'll add that when I get around to it.

This would be amazing! And since mesa biomes are already rare (at least for me), finding an ant dungeon would be something to tell my friends!
Just maybe the hardened resin that is in the dungeon all over the place should drop some resin (like the ants) instead of a whole block.
