Thanks to SilverBird for the idea!
Hey guys, it's me again. Earlier I posted a thread about Hell freezing over, an alternate frozen underworld. Then silverbird suggested that whenever this spawns in a world, the Ice Biome is replaced by a Volcano Biome. Here is that suggestion, in full thread form.

Volcano Biome
------------------
The terrain for this biome is very hard to cross, as there are very steep hills and lava pools scattered about. It generates about the same size as the snow biome, and replaces it upon spawning the world with Frozen Hell. Ash blocks are spawned in small clumps, sometimes encasing obsidian, but most of the terrain is made of Igneous Rock. This is basically another form of stone that only generates in this biome. Anything that requires stone can also use igneous rock. In the center of each volcano biome there is a massive hill, the volcano, that has a relatively shallow lava pool at the top and is made of a combination of ash and igneous rock. There is a long vertical chamber inside the volcano that leads down to the Underground Volcano Biome. This biome spawns only in the outer 3rds of the world, and ice biomes would be changed to do this as well.
Alternatively, if the idea is implemented where hell freezes over in hardmode, this will be a biome that spawns randomly instead of ice, not with the underworld.
The underground variant of this biome generates in a similar fashion to Underground Snow. Snow blocks are replaced by ash, lava pools replace water pools, and obsidian occasionally spawns in the lava pools. This layer contains Molten Chests, which can contain a Sunfury, a Lava Charm, or a new weapon, the Burning Pitchfork.
Burning Pitchfork- Spear, 20 melee damage, slow speed, launches a small fireball that can set enemies on fire.
Enemies
----------
Lava slimes spawn instead of Ice Slimes.
Lava Bats spawn instead of Ice Bats.
A new type of Mimic spawns:
Fire Mimic: same as other mimics stat-wise, but drops either Sharanga (which should totally be put in PC and made not craftable), Flamelash (to make up for them not spawning in the underworld), or a new sword, Blazing Katana.
Blazing Katana- 15 melee damage, very fast speed, launches fireball in front of player similar to ice blade's ice beam.
If rain overlaps a volcano biome, it becomes an Eruption, where ash appears to be raining out of the sky. It spawns a unique enemy:
Magma Golem- 4,500 HP, 50 melee damage, shoots fireballs that do 55 damage and inflict On Fire. Drops Magma Core.
Magma Armor- set bonus causes attacks to inflict On Fire and sometimes Cursed Inferno. Grants immunity to all cold-related debuffs. Crafted just like Frost Armor, but Frost Core replaced by Magma Core. Same defense as Frost Armor. By extension, frost armor grants immunity to all heat-realted debuffs.
This is still a work in progress, so tell me what it needs!
