Minecraft:Deep Ocean

A deep ocean is a deeper variant of Minecraft:oceans.

Description

File:Ocean colors.png

The separate colors of each ocean variant Template:In.

The deep ocean variant generates at deeper waters, with the depth usually being around 30 blocks, twice as deep as shallower oceans. The ground is mainly covered with Minecraft:gravel. Minecraft:Ocean monuments generate in deep oceans, meaning Minecraft:guardians and Minecraft:elder guardians can spawn there. Minecraft:Dolphins, Minecraft:cod, Minecraft:salmonTemplate:Only and Minecraft:squid spawn in these oceans as well. Underwater Minecraft:caves and Minecraft:ravines often generate here, forming underwater trenches. Tall seagrass also generates more frequently in deep oceans compared to shallower oceans.

Mobs

The following mobs naturally spawn here:

Sounds

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.

History

Trivia

• Before Minecraft:1.18, the Minecraft:plains and Minecraft:forest biomes generated in patches within regular deep ocean biomes, similar to how "hills" biomes generated within their respective base biomes, creating islands.
  • Although normal deep ocean biome could generate standalone, normal deep ocean biomes also generated in patches within normal ocean biomes.
