Minecraft:Swamp

A swamp or swampland is a wetland Minecraft:biome where Minecraft:slimes, Minecraft:frogs, 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 erosion values, and they also replace Minecraft:rivers 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:forests, and most Minecraft:taigas. Often, swamps are surrounded by ranges of windswept hills or 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 frozen rivers at cold temperatures.

Description

Swamps have sparse Minecraft:oak trees which can grow on land or in shallow water and generate with Minecraft:vines growing on them. Minecraft:Mushrooms are more common here than in most Overworld biomes, mostly generating in dark areas or under trees. Template:IN, Minecraft:huge mushrooms can generate as well. Minecraft:Sugar cane is found more commonly growing on shores, and Minecraft:seagrass litters the bottom of flooded areas. Minecraft:Firefly bushes and Minecraft:blue orchids grow among the grass, the latter of which are found exclusively in swamps. Minecraft:Lily pads are scattered across the surface of the water and Minecraft:dead bushes dot the surface of the land.

Swamp biomes, alongside Minecraft:mangrove swamps and Minecraft:deserts, can generate underground Minecraft:fossils. A swamp rarely generates Minecraft:swamp huts, housing a Minecraft:witch and a black Minecraft:cat. Only witches can spawn in and around the hut. 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.

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. Minecraft:Sand or gravel Minecraft:disks do not generate.

The variation of grass colors in a swamp

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 blocks, Minecraft:short grass, Minecraft:leaves, and other plants, following a noise algorithm.

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

Mobs

Minecraft:Slimes 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. Minecraft:Bogged add an additional threat to the night, thunderstorms, or caves,Template:Only as their poison arrows can increase the danger of hostile mobs.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
