The '''deep frozen ocean''' is a deep variant of [[Minecraft:Frozen Oceans|frozen oceans]]. Unlike the regular frozen ocean, the water surface is not covered with ice, though [[Minecraft:Iceberg (feature)|icebergs]] still generate in the water.
The '''deep frozen ocean''' is a variant of the [[Minecraft:frozen ocean]] with the seafloor twice as deep. Unlike the regular frozen ocean, the water surface is not covered with ice, though [[Minecraft:Iceberg (feature)|icebergs]] still generate in the water.
 
== Generation ==
Deep frozen oceans replace [[Minecraft:deep ocean]]s at the coldest temperature zones, bordering frozen oceans or [[Minecraft:mushroom fields]], but no other land biomes. They are twice as deep as regular frozen oceans, and may border [[Minecraft:deep cold ocean]]s near higher temperatures.
 
Beneath the seabed, [[Minecraft:ice caves]]{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} are very common where weirdness is high, while [[Minecraft:lush caves]] may generate where humidity is high.


== Description ==
== Description ==
[[File:Ocean colors.png|thumb|200px|The separate colors of each ocean variant {{in|java}}.]]
Like any other deep ocean, [[Minecraft:ocean monument]]s generate here. [[Minecraft:Iceberg]]s generate like in normal frozen oceans, but unlike the normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen. The ocean floor consists of one layer of [[Minecraft:gravel]],{{only|je|short=1}} followed by [[Minecraft:stone]] and variants without any vegetation, and few aquatic mobs spawn. Rare islands are also stony but may have some [[Minecraft:grass block]]s with vegetation.
The deep frozen ocean is the rarest ocean biome, covering 1.12% of the [[Minecraft:Overworld|Overworld's]] surface area and 3.78% of the total ocean area.


The deep frozen ocean biome generates at deeper waters and can also contain [[Minecraft:ocean monument]]s. [[Minecraft:Iceberg]]s may still generate, but unlike the normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen.<ref>{{bug|MC-131587|resolution=WAI}}</ref>
Similar to frozen oceans, deep frozen oceans have a temperature gradient. However, this is much warmer; at the cold areas it allows [[Minecraft:snowfall]] above Y=120±8, while at warm areas it [[Minecraft:rain]]s everywhere. Due to the unfrozen water, [[Minecraft:polar bear]]s, [[Minecraft:stray]]s, [[Minecraft:frostbite]]s,{{upcoming|Fourth Drop 2026}} and [[Minecraft:rabbit]]s{{only|be|short=1}} are much rarer, but may still spawn.


With [[Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals]], deep 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 brighter at dusk and dawn.

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.

*Before [[Minecraft:1.18]], regular and deep frozen oceans could generate near any kind of biome.

Template:Infobox biome

The deep frozen ocean is a variant of the Minecraft:frozen ocean with the seafloor twice as deep. Unlike the regular frozen ocean, the water surface is not covered with ice, though icebergs still generate in the water.

Generation

Deep frozen oceans replace Minecraft:deep oceans at the coldest temperature zones, bordering frozen oceans or Minecraft:mushroom fields, but no other land biomes. They are twice as deep as regular frozen oceans, and may border Minecraft:deep cold oceans near higher temperatures.

Beneath the seabed, Minecraft:ice cavesTemplate:Upcoming are very common where weirdness is high, while Minecraft:lush caves may generate where humidity is high.

Description

Like any other deep ocean, Minecraft:ocean monuments generate here. Minecraft:Icebergs generate like in normal frozen oceans, but unlike the normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen. The ocean floor consists of one layer of Minecraft:gravel,Template:Only followed by Minecraft:stone and variants without any vegetation, and few aquatic mobs spawn. Rare islands are also stony but may have some Minecraft:grass blocks with vegetation.

Similar to frozen oceans, deep frozen oceans have a temperature gradient. However, this is much warmer; at the cold areas it allows Minecraft:snowfall above Y=120±8, while at warm areas it Minecraft:rains everywhere. Due to the unfrozen water, Minecraft:polar bears, Minecraft:strays, Minecraft:frostbites,Template:Upcoming and Minecraft:rabbitsTemplate:Only are much rarer, but may still spawn.

With Minecraft:Vibrant Visuals, deep 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 brighter at dusk and dawn.
