The mangrove swamp is a wetland biome populated with mud and mangroves where slimes, frogs, and bogged can spawn.

Mangrove swamp biomes are usually found in flat terrain near sea level in regions with very high erosion values, and they also replace rivers in these areas. Mangrove swamps never directly border the ocean, but their water bodies are often connected.

They generate replacing swamps in higher temperature zones, next to savannas, all jungles, and deserts, and less commonly forests and plains. Mangrove swamps are often surrounded by windswept savanna ranges. Within the biome, some higher patches of temperate land biomes may generate, allowing villages to touch them.

Mangrove swamp biomes are a variant of the swamp biome featuring dense mangrove trees which vary in height and sometimes contain a bee nest with bees. The floor is mainly composed of mud blocks with occasional grass block or dirt disks. Seagrass litters the bottom of flooded areas, and lily pads dot the water's surface.

In Java Edition, unlike most Overworld biomes, mushrooms do not generate here. The grass has the same color as the normal swamp, determined by a temperature gradient, but leaves and vines have a unique light green tint, and the water is teal rather than gray. Warm frogs and tropical fish are the only passive mobs that spawn in this biome.

Additional slimes may spawn in mangrove swamps during the night, exclusively between Y=50 and Y=70. Their spawn rate is affected by the moon phase, spawning most often during full moon and not spawning at all during new moon. Bogged add an additional threat to the night, thunderstorms, or caves.‌^{[JE only]}

Mangrove swamp biomes, alongside deserts and regular swamps, can generate fossils underground. However, swamp huts do not generate here.

Villagers that spawn in mangrove swamps get a unique swamp-themed look. While villages don't generate in swamps, they are commonly found bordering one with some houses in the biome. Otherwise, swamp villagers can only spawn by curing zombie villagers in this biome or breeding villagers here.

Underwater fog is thick here, making visibility lower underwater. With Vibrant Visuals, mangrove swamps use a strong humid volumetric fog setting similar to jungles, which fades the distance in an orange tint, and moonlight is colored more vibrant blue. Mangrove swamps have brighter blue daytime sky colors, and a slightly warmer color grading, but not as much as jungles.

The following mobs naturally spawn here:
