The Swamp is a special dimension on Craftland. It is a mostly flat area with many flowers and small lakes. There are plenty of caves reaching from ground to bedrock level, containing more diamonds than the caves in the normal world.


Spawners

The swamp is known for the vast amounts of spawners you can find there. On the surface you can find spawners for passive mobs, including chicken, cow, pig, wolf and sheep spawners. Underground there are 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 you can 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 can contain a spawner and a chest. Very rare items such as chain mail armor can be found in these chests. You can also find things that are not normally obtainable, such as coal and diamond ore. More spawners can 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.

Notice: You can pick up any spawner on craftland. Just take a iron or better pickaxe and mine it.

How to Get There

You can get to the swamp by building a portal made of mossy cobblestone and ignite 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 trough 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.

Bedrock

Bedrock is flat in the Swamp.

Trees

Trees are common in the Swamp. Occasionally you can 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 are more prevalent in the Swamp, most likely because it is more flat there, giving more room for mobs to spawn. The spawn rate in the Swamp also seems to be increased.
