This would basically be a forest. But every tree would have no leaves, there would be no tall grass, flowers, or any of that stuff. The grass would be a dark grey, almost like Mycellium. Ash would fall like snow nonstop, and coat the ground just like it.
These would be rare, and usually a small biome.
Ash is basically grey snowfall that never stops falling in Ash Forests. It coats the ground like snow. It drops Ash when mined. The sky is dark like when it rains, meaning mobs can spawn in slightly darkened areas.
Four ash crafted in a block would make an Ash Block, which burns for a very long time, but not infinitely. Ash Blocks can spontaniously combust. They also spawn randomly in the Ash Forests, to provide an ever-burning forest.
You could even make it so a new log type would be added; Scorched Wood. It would drop ash when mined with anything other than a Silk Touch tool. If you do get a log, it could not be crafted in to planks. It would be more of a useless block for decoration in the Ash Forests. It does not burn up when on fire.
The goal of this suggestion is to make a "dead" biome that is good for adding a "living" feel to the rest of the world compared to it.
Sounds pretty awesome. I think ponds in the biome should have grey water. The water should be harder to see through as well, not let as much light through.
Love it! This would be interesting, and also could have skeleton heads on the ground!
There's only one problem, if this gets implemented, everyone will complain about the terrain changing all of the seeds yet again. I would be upset as well. Maybe they could make 1% of normal forest biomes dead forests, which would keep biomes in the same order, thus not ruining seeds.
I think it'd be pretty great if any wood that caught fire was converted to Scorched Wood, and if Scorched Wood dropped natural charcoal. Unless that would make charcoal too easy to get.
I like this idea. The idea of a "dead" biome sounds awesome! But I think it would be important to know if ash or an ash block could be used in a furnace as an alternative fuel or not? Also, is there lave free flowing through the biome or no?
Sounds interesting enough. Perhaps as part of the nether? 0.o. This sounds like a nether biome thing. Burned wood, ash blocks, etc. Would be perfect for the nether, and no one will complain about resetting maps.

Yes, this would be quite amazing in the Nether. Adding biomes there would make it more fun to explore. If it is tweaked to be made a bit more Nether-ish then it will have my support.
It could have extra soul sand, and it could be a place where wither skeletons spawn more frequently. It could be called a Wither Forest!
