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.

Description

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 at a depth of roughly Y=45 for normal oceans and Y=30 for deep variants. The seafloor is fairly hilly, featuring multiple peaks and valleys, and is mostly covered by a one-block layer of Minecraft:gravel or Minecraft:sand, though some Minecraft:clay, Minecraft:dirt, Minecraft:gravel, and Minecraft:sand patches may generate near the peaks. Minecraft:Canyons can occasionally generate on the ocean floor, forming underwater trenches. Some seafloor peaks may be high enough to form islands on the ocean surface; these islands are typically small and may have very sparse vegetation, with little grass and few oak trees. 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 within all oceans, while deep ocean variants can occasionally generate Minecraft:ocean monuments. The regular ocean variant mainly generates adjacent to land, while deep variants generate farther from land.

Survival in ocean biomes is impractical because of all the Minecraft:water. A player who camps on an island in the ocean faces a rather difficult situation. This means that whatever resources are found on an island might be all the player has if the player is unwilling or unable to venture out. See the island survival article for more information.

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.
