	Swamps have elevations low enough to go below sea level throughout much of the area. A large portion of swamps is flooded, where patches of [[Minecraft:clay]] are found on the lakebed, although deeper water only has a [[Minecraft:gravel]] floor. The shores of swamps may have marsh-like terrain, where the shores are very irregular, often without smooth transition, and with some small puddles generated.

A '''swamp''' or '''swampland''' is a wetland [[Minecraft:biome]] where [[Minecraft:slime]]s, [[Minecraft:frog]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] can spawn, and it is the only biome where [[Minecraft:swamp huts]] can generate. It is vegetated by unique [[Minecraft:swamp oaks]] covered in [[Minecraft:vines]], [[Minecraft:firefly bushes]], [[Minecraft:lily pads]], and more.

			== Generation ==
			Swamp biomes are usually found in flat terrain near sea level in regions with very high [[Minecraft:World_generation#Biomes\|erosion]] values, and they also replace [[Minecraft:river]]s in these areas. Swamps never directly border the [[Minecraft:ocean]], however, their water bodies are often connected to one.

			The swamp biome generates at temperatures of -0.45 to 0.2, meaning it generates at the temperate and cold biome temperature noise values. Surrounding terrain is usually flat with biomes like [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], most [[Minecraft:forest]]s, and most [[Minecraft:taiga]]s. Often, swamps are surrounded by ranges of [[Minecraft:Windswept Hills\|windswept hills]] or [[Minecraft:Windswept Savanna\|windswept savannas]], some islands of temperate biomes can generate within the swamp. At higher temperatures, swamps border [[Minecraft:mangrove swamps]], while they end abruptly in [[Minecraft:Frozen River\|frozen rivers]] at cold temperatures.

	== Description ==		== Description ==
	Swamps have sparse [[Minecraft:oak tree]]s which can grow on land or in shallow water and generate with [[Minecraft:vines]] growing on them. [[Minecraft:Mushroom]]s are more common here than in most Overworld biomes. [[Minecraft:Sugar cane]] is found ~~often~~ growing on shores. [[Minecraft:~~Seagrass~~]] litters the bottom of flooded areas. [[Minecraft:Firefly bush]]es and [[Minecraft:blue orchid]]s grow among the grass, the latter of which are found exclusively in swamps. [[Minecraft:Lily pad]]s are scattered across the surface of the water and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es dot the surface of the land~~. {{IN\|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:huge mushroom]]s can generate as well~~.

Swamp biomes, alongside [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s and [[Minecraft:desert]]s, can generate underground [[Minecraft:fossil]]s.

[[Minecraft:Villages]] sometimes generate next to a swamp, where they spawn unique swamp [[Minecraft:villagers]]. Otherwise, the only way for these villagers to spawn is either by being bred in a swamp, or curing a [[Minecraft:zombie villager]] that spawned in a swamp.

A '''swamp''' or '''swampland''' is a wetland [[Minecraft:biome]] where [[Minecraft:slime]]s, [[Minecraft:frog]]s, and [[Minecraft:bogged]] can spawn.

== Description ==
Swamps have sparse [[Minecraft:oak tree]]s which can grow on land or in shallow water and generate with [[Minecraft:vines]] growing on them. [[Minecraft:Mushroom]]s are more common here than in most Overworld biomes. [[Minecraft:Sugar cane]] is found often growing on shores. [[Minecraft:Seagrass]] litters the bottom of flooded areas. [[Minecraft:Firefly bush]]es and [[Minecraft:blue orchid]]s grow among the grass, the latter of which are found exclusively in swamps. [[Minecraft:Lily pad]]s are scattered across the surface of the water and [[Minecraft:dead bush]]es dot the surface of the land. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[Minecraft:huge mushroom]]s can generate as well.

Swamp biomes, alongside [[Minecraft:mangrove swamp]]s and [[Minecraft:desert]]s, can generate rare underground [[Minecraft:fossil]]s.

A swamp rarely generates [[Minecraft:swamp hut]]s, housing a [[Minecraft:witch]] and a black [[Minecraft:cat]]. Only witches can spawn in and around the hut.

Swamps have elevations low enough to go below sea level throughout much of the area. A large portion of swamps are flooded, where patches of [[Minecraft:clay]] are found on the lakebed. The shores of swamps may have marsh-like terrain, where the shores are very irregular, often without smooth transition, and with some small puddles generated. [[Minecraft:Water]] in swamps takes on a gray-green color.

Underwater [[Minecraft:fog]] is thick here so that visibility is lower than in other biomes underwater. Additionally, unlike other [[Minecraft:Overworld]] biomes, swamps have varying tints for [[Minecraft:grass block]]s, [[Minecraft:grass]], and [[Minecraft:leaves]], etc. See [[Minecraft:Biome#Special plant tints]].

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], swamps have a unique brown-green sky color, and stronger volumetric fog effects, fading the [[Minecraft:sun]] and sunlight.

=== Generation ===
The swamp biome generates at temperatures of -0.45 to 0.2, meaning it generates at the temperate and cold biome temperature noise values. Swamps generate next to most [[Minecraft:plains]], [[Minecraft:sunflower plains]], [[Minecraft:flower forest]]s, most [[Minecraft:forest]]s, [[Minecraft:birch forest]]s, [[Minecraft:dark forest]]s, most [[Minecraft:taiga]]s, [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s, and some [[Minecraft:windswept savanna]]s. Swamp biomes are usually found in flat terrain near sea level in regions with very high [[Minecraft:World_generation#Biomes|erosion]] values, and they also replace [[Minecraft:river]]s in these areas. Swamps never directly border the [[Minecraft:ocean]], however, their water bodies are often connected to one.

== Mobs ==
[[Minecraft:Slime]]s may spawn in swamps during the night, exclusively between Y=50 and Y=70, making swamps and mangrove swamps the only places where slimes can be found above ground. Their spawn rate is affected by the [[Minecraft:moon phase]], spawning most often during full moon and not spawning at all during new moon. Bogged add an additional threat to the night, thunderstorms, or [[Minecraft:Cave|caves]]{{Only|Java|short=JE}}, as their poison arrows can increase the danger of [[Minecraft:hostile mob]]s.

While villagers have swamp-specific types, no [[Minecraft:village]] featuring exclusively these villagers can be generated. The only way for these villagers to spawn is either by being bred in a swamp, curing a [[Minecraft:zombie villager]] that spawned in a swamp, or finding a [[Minecraft:village]] that generated with some parts reaching the swamp.
