Swamp Overhaul! (Pictures and Textures Included)

With the whole "Biome Chooser" stuff happening lately, there is a high chance that the MC devs plan on going through most of the biomes and adding a lot of content to them!
The swamp is one of those biomes that are in NEED of this love....

Here is how they can be altered to become something Amazing!

The New Swamp!  <--(General Pictures of the swamp Redesign)

This new Swamp comes equipped new Willow Trees to replace the old boring ones!

    Totally want this!!! Willow trees, alligators, frogs, fireflies, and herons would make for a great and interesting swamp! Right now it’s so boring and nothing really good there!

    I already commented, but I just wanna say this is my favorite suggestion from you, because it's so simple and it has a realistic chance to get added, at least partially.

    I hope if Mojang overhauls swamps, they'll add heavy fog and make the water murkier and less see-through.

    I think instead of vines the weeping willows could have 'Weeping willow leaves' which would just be a different texture. it's leaf blocks could be called 'willow leaves' and just be a different texture to others.

    Also there could be different variations of swamp biome, such as the 'marsh', 'marshy grasslands', 'swampy grasslands', and 'swamped forest'.

    Some new hostile mobs could be FIRE flies and DRAGON flies in the literal sense. A bug that ignites you on fire if it hits you more than one time and an aggressive draconic bug with a lot of health that attacks you upon entering its field of view.

    Interesting idea regarding fireflies: they could be used to create a "Glow Potion" effect we have glow arrows why not glow potions?

    Let’s be honest, mostly every biome needs an overhaul in this game... I really love this idea! The willow tree would give us another type of wood to build with (we haven’t gotten a new tree in a while...

    I love this. I also love the idea of switching rabbits foot to luck potion. Maybe like a 30 second buff of Fortune 2 or something. This is great all around

    Good idea, I just have two suggestions.

    1) Frogs legs should be an ALTERNATIVE to rabbit’s feet, and not just replace them. I think that it’s ok to have multiple recepies for the same potion! It would add more diversity.

    2) This wouldn’t be a new swamp, I feel like it’s too much of a change. Instead, this should be some sort of semi-rare biome, kind of like a dark oak forest!

    This idea is really cool, and swamp real estate is currently underrated, so this could inspire players to start living in swamp/jungle themed biomes! (And I agree, we are well overdue for a new type of wood!)

    Willow trees sound great and could come with a basket weaver as a villager profession and since they are adding a bunch of new fruits the basket could be used for storing fruits and have some advantage like fruit can be eaten directly out of them like a cake

    That's cool.  I really like that idea.  What if they added swamp villages made of that wood and they could be on top of the water.  Or at least partially.  They water houses could be on stilts and stuff.

    Swamps need a threat like Crocodiles to keep the player focused while traversing the tricky swamps
