Deletion
The reason for deletion is specified within the deletion request tag, but none of the other biomes (including upcoming ones) have or need their own pages; all of them are listed on the biomes page. - Shadowx4ffc 21:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. Swamps aren't even a new biome. Notch just added vines to the trees to make them look more swamp-like. --Warlock 21:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

- Nowhere on that link does Notch say it's a new biome. "Create" is a generic word - maybe he was referring to creating the update to it, or the map/location that screenshot was taken from. Who knows. Whatever the case, the thing exists already. Unless there are going to be two swamp biomes (and you know there won't be), it's not new. --Warlock 22:30, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Dead bushes
When were dead bushes added to swamps? Needed for history.73.208.227.101 14:25, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
Slimes spawning info inconsistency
On the page about Slimes it says that they spawn on Y 50-70, and on this page it says that slimes spawn on Y 60-80, how can one determine correct Y value? --Baplusaplusa 10:41, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
- Looking through the code, the correct range is 50-70 (exclusive) in Java; I corrected this on this article. –Sonicwave talk 06:58, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
Split proposal
Someone has proposed splitting this article into two articles, one for swamp and one for mangrove swamp. Amatulic (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - I see no reason for this change at this time. It's a swamp variant. The differences can be documented as they come to light, and if it becomes clear that two articles are needed, we can split them. It isn't clear to me now that this is necessary. Amatulic (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Support - I am bringing up the arguments put forth forth on the Discord server:
- The biomes are radically different: different mobs, blocks, no properties inherited from Swamps.
- Less different biomes have different pages (Birch Forest)
- For the sake of clearness: new players won't understand why it's the same page

- Support: The consistency of Mangrove Swamp and regular Swamp is less than Swamp and Swamp Hills (which has been removed), so I would argue that it is better to split like Taiga and Snowy Taiga. --Ultim_0 ( USER | TALK | CONT ) 08:12, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: it is not even a full update yet. Many things about the sub-biome could change before the update is released. I vote for leaving it as it right now. Also, it does not have exclusive mobs since frogs spawn in both swamps. The birch forest is not a sub-biome as the Mangrove Swamp is, hence why it has it’s own page. I think that you are underestimating new players. The Mangrove swamp is a sub-biome, not a full biome and it is not even confirmed to be in its final implementation. We should not have a debate like this until the pre release at least. --Drour1234 (talk), 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- I have checked in the Bedrock Edition files, and it is a unique biome in that edition, not a swamp variant (it does not have the swamp property, unlike frozen oceans that have the ocean property --MetalManiacMc at your service fellow human! (talk) 14:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
