I think it would be really cool if, aside from there being vines hanging from trees and different colored grass, swamp biomes had some new features added to them to make them look more, well, swamp-like (and awesome):
- Trees, aside from being covered in vines, would be grouped together much more tightly and would look very twisted and crooked looking compared to ordinary trees, while retaining the same amount of wood.
- Swamp biomes would be filled with a thin, 1-block-high layer of water block similar to muddy water. It would be a clowdy, translucent brown, but unlike ordinary water, wouldn't hinder your movement as much while you walked through it (for balancing purposes).
Well, that's just my idea. It's not very much, but I think it would really enhance the overall look of the new swamp biome. What do you guys think?
I kind of thought the same thing, more like a low rolling fog... like if you were to add another cloud layer to the lower points of a swamp biome, but only for that biome, idk but i like the idea ^.^
Aye, biomes could still do with a lot more personality, but we'll have to see how they do in 1.9, they're supposed to be messing around with biome code again.

Yeah, a second, foggy cloud layer would look really cool too :smile.gif:

Thanks, and Happy Minecrafting!

Mainly because, quite frankly, the swamp biomes look nothing like a swamp
Yeah, aside from the vines and abundance of mushrooms, they're not much different from other biomes.
