Here here! I was building a city and the edges were partially in a swamp biome. No problem in 1.8, but now the grass is black and nasty and my rivers have turned to crap.
Bottom of the sea, river, or lake is so ugly... it was ok at the beginning, since i tought it was for the swamps only... but now i realized that it's freeking everywhere!!! and that's ugly!!! :sad.gif:

Yes, I agree completely. The transitions are very annoying and the grass color is waaaay too dark. Here's a pic I took before this petition was created:
With the release of 1.8 came a new biome type, the swamp biome. This watery terrain where trees grew submerged in shallow pools and vines hung thick from leaves was, to many a minecrafter, very beautiful.
But then came the first 1.9 pre-release, and suddenly our magical swamps became dark and gloomy, like something out of Mordor. Not only that, but the borders did not blend at all with the normal minecraft world- the black grass of the swamps cut like a knife edge across the soft natural colors of the surrounding biomes. The eerie green water also left a jagged border through the smooth blue oceans.
When we first saw this sudden change, we grimaced and cringed, but faithfully continued to believe that the dark purple swamp overlay would be fixed in a later pre-release version. Surely, surely, the good people at Mojang would have to realize just how truly hideous the swamps were. They must play their own game, after all.
1.9.2 came and went, then 1.9.3, then 1.9.4, then 1.9.5 and 1.9.6, and finally RC1 and RC2, and yet still the swamps remained as hideous and harsh as ever, sticking out like a sore thumb in the Minecraft terrain. The worst part was that they were completely unable to be changed by texture packs, as the purple overlay was written straight into the code of the game.
Yet still, like the good fans that we are, we held out hope that the full release of Minecraft would finally bring a resolution to the swamp eyesore.
But now here we are, the day after the full release of Minecraft. And the swamps are still as ugly as they were the day the first 1.9 pre-release came out.
On behalf of each an every disappointed and disgruntled fan, I would like to present the people at Mojang with the following screenshots of the swamps as they appear in 1.0.0, for proof that our complaints are justified:
In light of this evidence, I would like to respectfully request that the people of Mojang make the improvement of swamps a priority for the next update. The following two changes are imperative:
1) Smoother transitions between the swamps and surrounding biomes
2) Swamp overlays that are NOT hardcoded, and can be changed by texture packs.

Actually, most swamps are green, and the water is usually brown/green/yellow-ish. Notch's swamp colors look like there's a nuclear waste dump site in every one.
I love the swamps, but they need to transition better. And if there's something in code to keep them from appearing next to deserts, that would be great. There's nothing more eyebrow raising than seeing a vast desert across the river from a swamp.
Ooh, a bandwagon to jump on? Consider me all signed up and such. This is the sort of thing that really should've been fixed before the full release, it's a purely aesthetic problem and indicative of an unfinished state.
