The '''frozen ocean''' is a cold variant of [[Minecraft:ocean]]s covered by [[Minecraft:Iceberg (feature)|icebergs]]. The water's surface is partially covered with [[Minecraft:ice]], where [[Minecraft:snowfall]] may occur and [[Minecraft:polar bears]] can spawn.

== Generation ==
Frozen oceans generate as shallow ocean biomes in the frozen temperature zones, near [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, regular [[Minecraft:taiga]]s, and [[Minecraft:ice spikes]]. They may be separated from land biomes by [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es, non-frozen [[Minecraft:stony shore]]s, and [[Minecraft:frozen river]]s, though they may also border land biomes directly. They can generate close to [[Minecraft:mountains]] with [[Minecraft:grove]]s and [[Minecraft:snowy slopes]] forming tall oceanic cliffs.
 
Frozen oceans border their [[Minecraft:Deep Frozen Ocean|deep]] variant far from land, and [[Minecraft:cold ocean]]s near higher temperatures.

The frozen ocean has low temperature and often borders [[Minecraft:snowy beach]]es. They generate next to [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:ice spikes]], and [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s usually, but they can also generate next to regular [[Minecraft:taiga]] biomes, resulting in incorrect and weird generation. Like the standard and cold oceans, it has a gravel seabed, though the water's surface is mostly frozen. Neither seagrass nor kelp generates on the seafloor, leaving it entirely barren and reminiscent of pre-[[Minecraft:Update Aquatic]] oceans. Large [[Minecraft:iceberg]]s made of [[Minecraft:snow block]]s, [[Minecraft:packed ice]] and a bit of [[Minecraft:blue ice]] frequently generate on the surface.
Unlike other oceans, frozen oceans do not have a [[Minecraft:gravel]] seabed and directly expose [[Minecraft:stone]] and variants.{{only|be}} Neither seagrass nor kelp generates on the seafloor, leaving it entirely barren.

Frozen oceans have varying temperatures across their landscapes, and have a more noticeable effect in that colder patches have snowfall and ice sheets, while warmer patches have rainfall (up to a certain height) and unfrozen water. See also [[Minecraft:Biome#Temperature]].

With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], frozen oceans use default environmental settings with a strong cold color grading, making the biome appear colder blue. They use cold sunlight, which is slightly stronger at dusk and dawn.

*Before [[Minecraft:1.18]], regular and deep frozen oceans could generate near any kind of biome. It was somewhat common to see an [[Minecraft:iceberg]] bordering a [[Minecraft:desert]], [[Minecraft:savanna]] or [[Minecraft:badlands]] in ''[[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]]''. Until 1.18, frozen oceans had a rough regular ocean border to minimize this effect in ''[[Minecraft:Java Edition]]''.

Template:Infobox biome

The frozen ocean is an icy variant of Minecraft:oceans covered by icebergs. The water's surface is partially covered with Minecraft:ice, where Minecraft:snowfall may occur and Minecraft:polar bears can spawn.

Generation

Frozen oceans generate as shallow ocean biomes in the frozen temperature zones, near Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:snowy taigas, regular Minecraft:taigas, and Minecraft:ice spikes. They may be separated from land biomes by Minecraft:snowy beaches, non-frozen Minecraft:stony shores, and Minecraft:frozen rivers, though they may also border land biomes directly. They can generate close to Minecraft:mountains with Minecraft:groves and Minecraft:snowy slopes forming tall oceanic cliffs.

Frozen oceans border their deep variant far from land, and Minecraft:cold oceans near higher temperatures.

Unlike other oceans, frozen oceans do not have a Minecraft:gravel seabed and directly expose Minecraft:stone and variants.Template:Only Neither seagrass nor kelp generates on the seafloor, leaving it entirely barren. The surface is widely covered with Minecraft:ice, while large Minecraft:icebergs made of Minecraft:snow blocks, Minecraft:packed ice and a bit of Minecraft:blue ice frequently generate.

Minecraft:Shipwrecks and Minecraft:cold ocean ruins generate here, often inside icebergs. Occasional islands in frozen oceans are also covered with stone, however, some patches of Minecraft:grass blocks generate in between.
