I always thought that vanilla minecraft's swamps could be a little more... swampy. The same can be said for this mod. Here are a few of my ideas:

Lily Flowers

These are pink flowers that can be placed on top of lilys. They are purely asthetic, with the exception of the ability to craft pink dyes. They spawn on top of the lily pads in the various swamps of Middle-Earth.

Frogs

Frogs really don't need much description. They are the slimy amphibians that inhabit swamps. They would make a croaking noise (obviously). They could drop frog legs, which can be cooked and eaten.

Poison Dart Frogs

These would look the same as normal frogs, except much more colorful. They would not attack you, but if you make contact with them, you get the poison effect for 10 seconds.

Algae

This would be a decorative block that can be picked up with shears. It would look similar to the Riverweed of Fangorn.

Mosquitoes

These would be more or less the same as midges, except they would spawn in all swamps, and would not have the insane spawn rate.

Swampy Patches

In real life, lakes and rivers often have swampy patches in them. I think that this mod should have a similar system. It would be a sub-biome, so if you found one in a River it would say River Swamp. This sub-biome would have a greenish tint to it as well. It would have all the features of the other swamps. These would not spawn in the ocean.

What do you think of my idea? Feedback is much appreciated.
