You’ll also notice that the ground in the mangrove swamp biome isn’t made up of dirt blocks. Mojang says that when you cut them down and turn them into mangrove planks, you’ll be able to use them for creating mangrove wood colored decorations such as doors, fences, and other wood products just like other wood types. Yup, that’s right, mangroves will also have their own wood type. When they grow, they’ll have a base of twisty root blocks beneath their main mangrove wood trunks. What’s particularly cool about mangroves is that they can be planted on land or in water. They’ll have vines that hang down from their leaves like swamp trees do currently, and will also grow large, arching roots that you can walk and swim beneath.
