One way or another, I still don't care. This game wasn't designed to look good. It's 16x16 pixel blocks, for crying out loud! Not exactly the most stunning graphics. If you want a beautiful game, go at something like BF3 or Rage. I can't believe you people actually expect "Beutiful swamps" from a game like this!
Low fidelity does not always mean low quality. Minecraft went for a pixellated blocky aesthetic, and still managed to create beautiful landscapes with it.
And in any case, the point is not for them to make the swamps look good, the point is for them to let us make them look good, if we choose to, with texture packs.

Guys, why are you talking about 1.0? It's 1.1 and 1.2 is coming out soon. I think swamps look perfectly fine.
We're not talking about 1.0, we're talking about 1.1 and 1.2, and we would like the ability to change swamps with a texture pack. Some people think they look fine, others do not; those who do not should have the ability to change its look, like everything else in the game, with a texture pack.
As the style of swamp they seem to be going for is more Louisiana Bayou rather than Florida Everglades, they should be dark and gloomy and beautiful and much, much denser with trees, however the transition into the other biomes does need some drastic work. They are one of my more favorite biomes to adventure in. I'll sign this petition.
...Well, Swamps aren't Everglades.
I think Swamps should have features of Bogs... The water could slow the player down (more than in normal water), because of the lack of oxygen in that water.
(Note, I'm comparing with Canadian Swamps and stuff.)
Well in 1.0 they fixed this problem, and its much smoother now. The only thing that bugs me is sometimes like half of a tree will be swampy and normal leaves. The leaves should stay the color as the ground where the log is. Not by the biome edge.
It seems pretty evident that the majority of ppl who comment would like the swamps changed. But its also pretty evident that Mojang doesnt really care.
All you ppl who say they look "fine" must have really low standards. The black trees that are the exact same color as the black grass look like they have been run over by a road crew laying asphault. They need to be less black and more green, with some diversity of colors, cuz it all being the same color looks like crap.
Mojang has had lots of time to fix this, but it doesnt appear like they are ever going to. Its highly irritating, especially cuz the 1.8 swamps were my fave biome
Can OP please update the original post to acknowledge that the transition was changed, so people don't keep posting with "Well this problem was fixed" when only half of it is fixed?

The transitions were messed with, I wouldnt say they were "fixed"
With the constent changing in world generation, save games have swamp biomes appearing randomly on what used to be a mountain or a forest biome, on pre-1.2 maps, colouring them with that nice grey of them that has nothing to do there and messes up with the pre-1.2 buildings carefully edificated by hours of playing. This biome cannot be edited!
The least Jeb can do is to de-hardcode the swamp biome, give us the possibility to edit it.
That or stop messing up with the terrain generation!
I managed keep my fisrt save all the way through beta, since the launching of 1.0 I had to restart 3 times, i refuse to do it again! It is seriously degrading my interest for this game.
This is not Beta anymore, This is not a way to treat clients, seriously!
I think you guys all need to calm down. I think this petition DID have a point, but now it really doesn't. Especially the post above me. He/she said at the very end that this is no way to treat clients. All I can say is WHAT THE ****. You guys are worried that swamp biomes don't look great in a game where the graphics are supposed to suck. Are you guys seriously more worried about this than new features and bug fixes? I understand that you guys want to be able to change textures of the swamp - that I get. But to be all worked up over this? THEY FIXED SWAMPS IN 1.1! I can't believe you guys have complained so much about an already fixed feature. And the post above really urks me. What does he ****ing mean that this is no way to treat the clients. That guy is just a total ****. IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, MOJANG HAS BEEN MAKING AWESOME GAMES FOR US! HOW IS THAT NO WAY TO TREAT CLIENTS! That post just urks me so much.

Also, I'd appreciate it if they were less flat.
The swamps only look fine if you are looking at the swamps themselves, instead of the transition to the swamps.

"Everglades" is not a type of terrain, it is a specific place. "The Everglades" is a swamp in southern Florida.
Don't be a hater! Try it before you hate it!
