TLDR; With the release of Panduxion, i added the Swamps as the latest new Biome. It will be added to new Maps in the future and will in dedicated areas around rivers near the warm & tropical zone.

Hi there,
and welcome to a new Edition of Dev News haha. There are so many things i want to inform you about, that are getting updated the next time - I'm so excited!
To keep you up to date on a "Meta" Level, i will inform you in these separate blog posts about general, minor(combined), and major updates like today. The Swamp.

The Swamp is pretty basic in Minecraft and the whole area is not really inviting, so i tackled that. In preparation, I looked through tons of footage of those areas, especially the swamps of Louisiana in the United States were surely a big influence. So let's dive into it.

Available for:
  • ✅ Java 1.16+
  • ✅ Bedrock 1.16+
  • 〰 Java 1.12 (working on it)

Generation:
The current Idea is to place the swamp in warm&tropical zones. They will occur when the landscape has rivers in this area that have a >5% angled terrain around it. Basically, it will be only in warm, flat areas near rivers.

With the release of Panduxion, i added the Swamps as the latest new Biome.
It features around 35+ individual plant types. Varying in heights, size, density, structure, and style. I have also 2 colored subversions of them, that have a unique and awesome feel to them, which I might include in some releases in the future, but this is still in testing currently.

The Swamp includes:
  • custom plants
  • fallen trees
  • custom "wet-"floor
  • tall grass & fern
  • bushes
  • and Swamphuts / Witchhuts

The Swamphuts have 5 versions at the moment. Including default Loot Tables for chests and custom mob spawner. Adding Witches, Pillagers and Vindicators. to the area.








For the moment this Biome is finalized in V1, new variants and subversion of the swamp are planned and rolled out in the upcoming months. In the meantime I will be looking forward to your feedback and suggestions, what should, could, or can be changed and added.

I showed plenty of people the new biome ingame and got overwhelming reactions. And i hope you will love it too!
Thanks everybody for supporting all of this, making new things possible.
