Minecraft:Swamp

Template:For Template:Infobox biome

A swamp or swampland is a wetland Minecraft:biome where Minecraft:slimes, Minecraft:frogs, and Minecraft:bogged can spawn.

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. Minecraft:Sugar cane is found often growing on shores. 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. Template:IN, Minecraft:huge mushrooms can generate as well.

Swamp biomes, alongside Minecraft:mangrove swamps and Minecraft:deserts, can generate rare 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.

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 blocks, 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 forests, most Minecraft:forests, Minecraft:birch forests, Minecraft:dark forests, most Minecraft:taigas, Minecraft:old growth taigas, and some Minecraft:windswept savannas. 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.

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

Minecraft:Villagers that spawn in swamps get a unique swamp-themed look. 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.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
