I agree soo much, I also hate that a swamp is one of the only biomes you spawn in :sad.gif:

LMFAO - yeah been finding that recently too, if it gave us an option to change it to the normal grass in a texture pack i wouldn't care as much but as it stands, its ugly as fudge.
Not sure if Jeb will care, but lets hope we get into the hundreds of pages here. The ugly really needs to go.
Notch was way too focused on putting an ending into minecraft before the release. Because of that, everything else that really should have been fixed before 1.0.0 got left behind. Really now, adding the End before fixing your main world? Let alone all the bugs it was released with. The artist Notch really needs to take a backseat to programmer Notch lest we end with a huge game that's still half broken.
Just a thought. Have you tried fixing the swamps yourself?
Make a mod that fixes the swamps to demonstrate how easy it really is. If you do I will use your mod and sign your petition.
I have tried fixing them with texture packs. The purple overlay makes it nigh impossible, because it actually extends a bit beyond the actual swamp biome itself-- changing the swamp biome color on the grasscolor/foliagecolor pngs to some extreme shade that balances out the purple overlay makes the transition area even MORE ugly, since it end up being stripes/rings of dark purple cutting across the landscape. Hence why we need to be able to edit the overlay directly. Or just get rid of it altogether and change the color of the swamps in the grasscolor/foliage color pngs.
And I have no modding skill whatsoever, so I haven't tried to mod it away.
But the point is that we should have to mod the frickin game to change something that needs to be fixed in the first place. To my mind, you use mods to add cool new features-- like horses, new tools, etc-- not to do Mojang's job for them.

And yet it is SOOOOO EASY to fix the swamps. I'm sure anyone could do it! Have you even tried?
:/ One cannot appreciate the effort that goes into ever bit of a game until you have tried to do it better. :3

You obviously didn't read all of my reply.
There doesn't need to be an overlay to get the dark color. Just add in a blob of gray onto the biome pngs that already exist.
There. Dark color, smooth transitions. Easy as pie.
EDIT: You know what? Even that's beside the point.
They are programmers and game-makers, not nerds fooling around in their moms' basements. Should we excuse them from fixing something because it might be a bit hard?
Swamps look ugly in real life. Therefore, Mojang has done this correctly, no?
I hated them before 1.9, and now I rather like them due to their realisticness.
And about the border things - In Minecraft, everything has sudden and abrupt ends. Just look at the weather, for example. Heck, look at the blocks for example. It's what differentiates Minecraft from the real world. While I like realisticness, I also like how it is so unique as a game.
if you dont like swamps tooo bad for you... live with it. this isnt your game its Notches game deal with it
Wow, really. "Its notch's game, deal with it". I've heard this statement waaay too many times. It is notch's game, but he should be trying to make it fun for us. Imagine this, The U.S. government declares that everyone must pay 75% of their money to taxes and 50% of the population must join the army. But apparently thats fine because we don't really own the country so we can just deal with it without a problem :smile.gif:
It is notches game but he has to try to please the people who are playing his game, also i must agree, swamps do look a bit ugly :sad.gif:
I completely agree. The swamp texture looks ridiculous and unappealing. The other thing is that they can't be changed in texture packs so a person who makes packs must consider the waters texture to match the swamp biome.

No wait, they may ignore it. We should use his irc channel (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/6-how-to-make-me-aware-of-suggestions-and-bugs-or-praise-d/)
300 signs out of how many that actually play the game? Doesn't seem like enough.
Also He isn't on that IRC channel anymore
22-11-11The day I finally realized exactly how immature this community can be
These swamps need to be fixed!
I agree, I like the unique look of Minecraft.

Mojang, I love you guys, but your incompetence really drives me crazy sometimes.
