			Cold oceans replace oceans in the cold temperature zones, often near [[Minecraft:taiga]]s and [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s. As a shallow ocean, they can border coastal biomes but never [[Minecraft:mushroom fields]].

The '''cold ocean''' is a cold variant of the [[Minecraft:ocean]] biome. It generates near cold biomes and has a [[Minecraft:Cold Deep Ocean|deep variant]].

== Description ==
[[File:Ocean colors.png|thumb|200px|The separate colors of each ocean variant {{in|java}}.]]
The cold ocean uses a dark indigo water color at the surface and often generates next to cold biomes like [[Minecraft:taiga]]s and [[Minecraft:old growth taiga]]s. Like regular oceans and frozen oceans, its floor is made up mainly of [[Minecraft:gravel]]. The vegetation in cold oceans also has less [[Minecraft:seagrass]] compared to other ocean variants.

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], cold oceans use default environmental settings with a coolish color grading, making the biome appear colder blue.

== Mobs ==
The following mobs naturally spawn here:

When in any ocean biome, unique ocean [[Minecraft:ambience]] play randomly. Normal overworld tracks also play, alongside "Axolotl", "Dragon Fish", and "Shuniji", as the requirements for those are merely to be underwater rather than biome-determined.
