After thinking things over with 1.8 pre-release, I did some digging into RL rubber trees and thought, "Hey, perhaps rubber trees could be found a little more frequently in the new Swamp biomes and less in the other biomes." Could this be possible, to make resin collecting a little more feasible and coerce the user to explore more?
Suggestion: Rubber Trees in the Swamp?

good idea

Rubber trees already are spawned in "swamp" biomes. I dunno why notch claim to have "added" it, it was in 1.7 already. Though, probably not exactly swamp-like-looking.
I assume he just recoded the old swamp biome. -

yes because I have found them in snowbiomes so they cant be Only spawned in "swamps"

They spawn about 70% swamp
15% rain forest
10% forest
5% seasonal forest (which apparently is a forest in snowy area)These aren't any sort of values used in a code, but a approx. reflection of tree spread.

Shouldn't there be quite a lot of them in a rainforest? I mean, it DOES make sense...

Considering that we don't have a rain forest biome... (yet)
