The '''frozen ocean''' is an icy 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.

Frozen oceans generate as shallow ocean biomes in the frozen temperature zones, near [[Minecraft:snowy plains]], [[Minecraft:snowy taiga]]s, tegular [[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 [[Minecraft:Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen oceans]] as continentalness decreases, and [[Minecraft:cold ocean]]s near higher temperatures.
 
[[Minecraft:Lush caves]] may generate beneath the seabed if humidity is high, while [[Minecraft:sulfur caves]] will sometimes generate if weirdness is low. [[Minecraft:Ice caves]] are very common where weirdness is high.{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}}

Frozen oceans have varying [[Minecraft:temperature]]s across their landscapes. Colder patches generate [[Minecraft:snowfall]] and freeze water on any altitude, while some patches only allow snowfall above Y=120±8, creating rainfall and unfrozen water on the ocean's surface.

Template:For Template:Infobox biome

The frozen ocean is an icy variant of Minecraft:ocean 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 at the coldest temperature zones, often near Minecraft:snowy plains, Minecraft:snowy taigas, regular Minecraft:taigas, and Minecraft:ice spikes. They are sometimes, but not always, separated from land biomes by Minecraft:snowy beaches, Minecraft:stony shores, or Minecraft:frozen rivers. They can generate close to Minecraft:mountains with Minecraft:groves and Minecraft:snowy slopes forming tall oceanic cliffs.

Frozen oceans border deep frozen oceans as continentalness decreases, and Minecraft:cold oceans near higher temperatures.

Minecraft:Lush caves may generate beneath the seabed if humidity is high, while Minecraft:sulfur caves will sometimes generate if weirdness is low. Minecraft:Ice caves are very common where weirdness is high.Template:Upcoming

The separate colors of each ocean variant Template:In

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.

Fewer mobs spawn here than in any other ocean variant, only Minecraft:cod and Minecraft:salmon.Template:Only On the surface, however, Minecraft:polar bears and Minecraft:rabbits may also spawn Template:In, while some Minecraft:skeletons are replaced by Minecraft:strays and some Minecraft:zombies with Minecraft:frostbites.Template:Upcoming

Frozen oceans have varying Minecraft:temperatures across their landscapes. Colder patches generate Minecraft:snowfall and freeze water on any altitude, while some patches only allow snowfall above Y=120±8, creating rainfall and unfrozen water on the ocean's surface.

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.
