A Mangrove forest

released

Mangrove forest is a new forest biome that exists overwater. It is composed of Mangrove trees and mud. This biome is mostly surrounded by small islands and forests. The water in this biome receives a turbid and brownish texture. The new mobs will be  Mangrove crabs and eagles. The main structure will be the Ancient Pyramid, which is very big and mangrove trees grow on it.

    As mangroves have been announced in this video, we are updating the status.

    Mangroves have already been suggested.  Swamps are made of small islands and forests, with a muddy texture.  Pyramids are already in Minecraft, in the form of desert temples.

    Claysoldier, mangroves and baobabs are not the same thing.  And I don't see any other tree or biome suggestion posts in your history.

    It might be too many suggestions in one thread, but I don't think it's a duplicate.  This ( https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360012562912-Single-sapling-dark-oaks-in-the-swamp ) is the closest thing to a "mangrove" suggestion and it doesn't even have the word mangrove in the title.  This is as much a new biome suggestion as anything as well.  A "mangrove swamp" is a specific kind of swamp that is different than the kind we already have.

    Perhaps Mangrove saplings can be waterlogged and are required to be placed in water to grow?

     

    Be cool to see Mangrove Swamp as a variant swamp biome.

    they could grow like chouris fruit but dont break when they touch stuff, this will add more variety i these variants.

    I feel like this could just be added as an extension to the swamps, since they are almost the same thing. Just minus crabs and eagles. I feel eagles should be added in an update later that might involve mountains and extreme hills and crabs should’ve been added during the ocean update, but should also be added later for some sort of aquatic biome. Ancient pyramid? Doesn’t the desert temple and jungle temple already fit this? I feel like mangroves should be a new type of tree that grows within the swamp rather than a separate biome. You can only have so much within a finite space in a world

    You should add mudskippers as well, they are peaceful mobs that hide it the mud

    I think mangrove trees should not grow on it and they should grow around it

    This is a great idea that could add a type of tree to islands found in an ocean which are almost completely barren.

    Mud could slow you down like soul sand and make you slowly sink into it until you start suffocating.

    i think the mangrove tree should have a greenish color tbh, idk if its like that irl or not, but tbh the swamps biome is all about green, so having a new greenish wood log that can be found in the swamps biome is neat

    It's a great idea to have mangroves arround and it should have a variant of fishs just like in the coral biome and also attract turtles since turtles are sometimes rare to find.

    A swamp update...
    But if it had an ancient pyramid it was pretty rare

    I would love to have mangroves because we definitely need a more open selection of trees

    I wanted this type of wood for 10 years, when I started playing in a swamp.

    I think that the color of the planks shoul be like one of these.

    Since the mangroves have thinner trunks and roots, it would be cool( and would actually make he most sense, and would be most visually appealing) if there was a new type of log that is much thinner than the standard size. ( maybe something around the thickness of the logs in campfires. With this, roots and branches could babadded, as well as updating the already existing tree types, because let’s face it, trees in Minecraft right now don’t really make sense with just a straight pillair or lots.

    I really love the idea of upgrading the swamp biome, mabye making it more like the Louisiana Bayou or The Everglades, as those are more classic representations of a swamp. Most of all i want those classic swamp trees.
    Really hope i inspire some devs here ;)

    Mud should work like honey but also like sand, but it falls slowly and has a hit box when falling but you fall through slowly
