Minecraft:Ocean

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 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: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.

Mobs

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

Sounds

In any ocean biome, unique ocean Minecraft:ambience plays randomly. Normal overworld tracks also play, alongside “Axolotl”, “Minecraft:Dragon Fish”, and “Minecraft:Shuniji”, as the requirements for those are merely to be underwater, regardless of biome.
