Swampier Swamps
by andrew0030
Swampier Swamps reworks the Swamp biome with new frog variants, lily pads, cattails, swamp gas and fertile farmland, all configurable.
What it does
The mod changes world generation in swamp biomes and adds several mechanics around them. Thirteen frog variants and thirteen frog lights are added, and lily pads come in a large and a small form, with a growth system that makes them renewable. Cattail can be grown with bone meal underwater in a swamp, and swamp vines replace ordinary vines there.
Swamp gas forms as green clouds over water, generated by decaying kelp. Gas bottles fill into gas lamps whose light range follows redstone input. Fertile farmland makes crops grow faster, and frogs can now drop legs that feed a potion of leaping recipe. Swamp Gas and several other effects can be toggled or tuned in the config. Required dependencies are Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and the Quilt build uses Quilted Fabric API with Cloth Config API. Mod Menu is optional.
Key features
Thirteen frog variants
New frog variants have spawn settings editable in their json files, and frog advancements account for them.
Lily pads and cattail
Large and small lily pads grow back over time, and cattail can be obtained from bone meal used underwater in swamps.
Swamp gas
Green gas clouds over water can be bottled, used in gas lamps, and explode when struck by a burning projectile.
Fertile farmland
A farmland type on which crops grow faster, with growth speed and water range adjustable in the config.
Swallow Me Waldo
Naming a frog this way makes it attack and eat nearby entities, and the behavior can be disabled in the config.
