Swamp World
The Swamp was a special dimension on Craftland. It had a mostly flat area, with many flowers and small lakes. There were plenty of caves reaching from ground to bedrock level, containing more diamonds than the caves in the normal world.
Removal
While the Swamplands were going to be removed, they were so prematurely because VepaS borked it. Spawners are still able to be collected by destroying with iron or diamond pickaxe, and spawners collected from there still exist. However, you may not find spawners like ghast, creeper, slime and pigmen on yourself, as they were exclusive to Swamp World.
Spawners
The swamp is known for the vast amounts of spawners you could find there. On the surface, there were spawners for passive mobs, including chicken, cow, pig, wolf and sheep spawners. Underground, there were plenty of so called spooky rooms (as well as superdungeons). These are made out of netherrack and contain about 4 to 8 spawners each, usually zombie, spider or skeleton spawners. Sometimes, one could be lucky and find one or more ghast spawners in a spooky room. More rare are superdungeons which look similar to the dungeons in the normal world, however, they are usually bigger and often made of several rooms. Each of these rooms contained a spawner and a chest. Very rare items such as chain mail armor, stacks of coal/iron, and sponges could be found in these chests. You could have also found things that are not normally obtainable, such as coal and diamond ore. More spawners could be found in caves. These lie on the ground without any special blocks around them. Nevertheless, they should not be ignored as sometimes they spawn zombie pigmen, creepers or slimes. (Zombie pigmen and slime spawners being the most rare)
Notice: You can pick up any spawner on craftland. Just take a iron or better pickaxe and mine it.

How to Get There
You were get to the swamp by building a portal made of mossy cobblestone and igniting it with flint and steel (similar to how you ignite the nether portal). Then just go into the portal and it teleports you to the swamp. Mossy cobblestone can be found in dungeons in the normal world or may be created by using seeds on cobblestone (right click with the seed on cobblestone, requires plenty of seeds). This is available through the skill: Herbalism.
Ores
Ores in caves are more common than regular ores. However, they occur in smaller deposits than in the Overworld.
For example, you could find diamond at the entrance to a cave, but it would be only 2-4 ore blocks.
Ores could also be obtained at MUCH higher levels, and due to some world rendering glitches it was possible to simply walk along the side of large cliffs and pick diamonds out of the rock.
Bedrock
Bedrock is flat in the Swamp.
Trees
Trees are common in the Swamp. Occasionally you could find Stone trees, who are rather like giant Brown Mushrooms, but made of birch wood and regular stone. Rarely, ores, floating gravel, and (even more rarely) loot chests from Dungeons can be found as part of the tree top.
Enemies
Hostile mobs were once more prevalent in the Swamp, most likely because it was more flat there, giving more room for mobs to spawn. The spawn rate in the Swamp also seemed to be increased.
