[MC-72831] Water lakes can generate in deserts

The bug

I remember a while back water lakes were removed from Deserts. I think with 1.7 updating the biomes removed this feature.

Please attach the seed and coordinates.

It's a customized world with the biome set as desert. Just by flying around you'll easily see lakes.

I don't believe it being a customized world makes a difference.

It technically could. Worlds are still created with random seeds.

I created a new default world. Here:

Surprisingly its more often in customized worlds and a little less often in default worlds.

Confirmed.

Confirmed for 1.8.1-pre3 also for default worlds, but it seems to appear only at the edges to other biomes (I guess)

Confirmed for 15w40b. Can a mod please give this ticket to me? This was my old JIRA account.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2015-10-04T21:23:26Z

Done and done.

I can also confirm for 1.9-pre3, the desert I found had extremely large, but shallow lakes with squid in them. Additionally, the terrain generation in deserts seems a bit odd overall in this snapshot; I have been finding large floating sand/sandstone islands which aren't even connected to anything, and a lot of the ground terrain in deserts looks extremely blocky and abrupt (more than usual, I mean, I know it's a game of blocks XD). It kinda reminds me of terrain generation from Beta 1.7, actually.

Lots of water in a desert, and strangely blocky terrain.

Thanks for providing more evidence 🙂
