The '''ocean''' is an aquatic [[Minecraft:biome]] consisting of [[Minecraft:water]]. They are deep bodies of water with the surface at an [[Minecraft:altitude]] of Y=63 by default, which is counted as the “sea level” of the world.
== Generation ==
Oceans generate when the [[Minecraft:continentalness]] reaches lower values. Here, the terrain is mostly flat at a depth of roughly Y=45, below the sea level, although some underwater hills and cliffs may generate. Rarely, these are tall enough to peak above the sea level and form islands.
 
They border coastal biomes like [[Minecraft:beach]]es, [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s, and [[Minecraft:river]]s near landmasses, but can also directly border land biomes. Near [[Minecraft:mountains]], this often results in tall oceanic cliffs, sometimes more than 100 blocks tall.
 
Ocean biomes are separated into temperature variants and deep variants. The regular, shallow ocean generates at medium temperature zones bordering [[Minecraft:lukewarm ocean]]s and [[Minecraft:cold ocean]]s, as well as the regular [[Minecraft:deep ocean]].

Oceans are vast expanses of [[Minecraft:water]] that start at the sea level and end at the ocean floor, which is at a depth of roughly Y=45 for normal oceans and Y=30 for deep variants. The seafloor is fairly hilly, featuring multiple peaks and valleys, and is mostly covered by a one-block layer of [[Minecraft:gravel]] or [[Minecraft:sand]], though some [[Minecraft:clay]], [[Minecraft:dirt]], [[Minecraft:gravel]], and [[Minecraft:sand]] patches may generate near the peaks. [[Minecraft:Canyon]]s can occasionally generate on the ocean floor, forming underwater trenches. Some seafloor peaks may be high enough to form islands on the ocean surface; these islands are typically small and may have very sparse vegetation, with little grass and few oak trees. The seafloor is often covered with [[Minecraft:seagrass]] and [[Minecraft:kelp]], with “forests” of kelp frequently reaching close to or even touching the water's surface. [[Minecraft:Fish]], [[Minecraft:squid]], and [[Minecraft:dolphin]]s frequently spawn within oceans. [[Minecraft:Shipwreck]]s and [[Minecraft:ocean ruins]] generate within all oceans, while deep ocean variants can occasionally generate [[Minecraft:ocean monument]]s. The regular ocean variant mainly generates adjacent to land, while deep variants generate farther from land.

Islands in ocean biomes are covered with [[Minecraft:grass block]]s and the default, sparse vegetation.


Survival in ocean biomes is impractical because of all the [[Minecraft:water]]. A player who camps on an island in the ocean faces a rather difficult situation. This means that whatever resources are found on an island might be all the player has if the player is unwilling or unable to venture out. See the [[Minecraft:Tutorial:Island survival|island survival]] article for more information.

Template:For Template:Infobox biome The ocean is an aquatic Minecraft:biome consisting of Minecraft:water. They are deep bodies of water with the surface at an Minecraft:altitude of Y=63, which is counted as the “sea level” of the world.

Generation

Oceans generate when the Minecraft:continentalness reaches lower values. Here, the terrain is mostly flat at a depth of roughly Y=45, below the sea level, although some underwater hills and cliffs may generate. Rarely, these are tall enough to peak above the sea level and form islands.

They border coastal biomes like Minecraft:beaches, Minecraft:stony shores, and Minecraft:rivers near landmasses, but can also directly border land biomes. Near Minecraft:mountains, this often results in tall oceanic cliffs, sometimes more than 100 blocks tall.

Ocean biomes are separated into temperature variants and deep variants. The regular, shallow ocean generates at medium temperature zones bordering Minecraft:lukewarm oceans and Minecraft:cold oceans, as well as the regular Minecraft:deep ocean.

Description

File:Ocean colors.png
The separate colors of each ocean variant Template:In

Oceans are vast expanses of Minecraft:water that start at the sea level and end at the ocean floor, which is mostly covered by a one-block layer of Minecraft:gravel, though some Minecraft:clay, Minecraft:dirt, and Minecraft:sand patches may generate near shallow areas. Islands in ocean biomes are covered with Minecraft:grass blocks and the default, sparse vegetation.

The seafloor is often covered with Minecraft:seagrass and Minecraft:kelp, with “forests” of kelp frequently reaching close to or even touching the water's surface. Minecraft:Fish, Minecraft:squid, and Minecraft:dolphins frequently spawn within oceans. Minecraft:Shipwrecks and Minecraft:ocean ruins generate here, but Minecraft:ocean monuments cannot as they can only generate in deep oceans.
