Swamp Seed

[Yeoman]

Does anybody know of a good swamp seed? Preferably near a mountain range? I’m wanting to make an apothecary/witchy/alchemist house, and the swamp would be the perfect place to put it.

And as long as we’re talking swamps, are gators a thing in this game? (I know I could check the animals tab to find out for myself, but I’m away from my home and computer at the moment).

last I knew there were no swamp biomes - but they are planned.....

No swamps ingame yet. Though with some creativity you can still build it in creative.

Oh. Dang. I guess the swamp trees in Hell made me assume there must be. Well, I guess I’ll just make my house in the woods then. Maybe I can plant some Hell trees around it or something, since they’re essentially vine covered swamp trees, until the day comes that I can move into an actual swamp.

When I want a swamp, I make one. Simply use grass, water, mud texture, large and shallow
holes in the topography and then add water. If you put some old houses gets even more "marshy".
But, yes, it will be very good if they officially add a swamp biome.

Hell trees? There's nothing like this

Aren’t there some kind of vine-covered trees down in Hell? They look somewhat like swamp trees? I’ve never been there, but I thought I’d seen them in a picture

Possible that someone planted trees down there but there is no tree in hell by default.

Via creative tool you can get some "dead trees" though and i think also a willow. these might look like what you described.

Swamp biomes are planned indeed, but before adding them, we will have to wait until more biomes are ready (so we can put them all into a single updates). Reason is that introducing new biomes require some extensive conversions for old worlds (and since there is always a chance that something goes wrong during conversion, we want to avoid to release too many updates which requires a world conversion) ^^

As @Avanar suspected, probably someone just planted these trees in hell. Actually these trees are supposed to be swamp trees, but we didn't get swamp biomes ready in time (so the trees don't spawn naturally, but can still be placed with creative mode) ;)

Ah, okay, that makes sense. Like I’d said, I’ve never actually been there myself, so I wouldn’t know. Thank you both. I’ll look forward to more biomes though! And in the meantime I’ll just plant some swamp trees around my house :)
