A deep ocean is a deeper variant of oceans.

Description

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 gravel. Ocean monuments generate in deep oceans, meaning guardians and elder guardians can spawn there. Dolphins, cod, salmon‌ and squid spawn in these oceans as well. Underwater caves and ravines often generate here, forming underwater trenches. Tall seagrass also generates more frequently in deep oceans compared to shallower oceans.

Mobs

The following mobs are naturally spawned here:

Sounds

When in any ocean biome, unique ocean 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.

Issues

Issues relating to "Deep Ocean" are maintained on the bug tracker. Issues should be reported and viewed there.

Trivia

• Before 1.18, the plains and 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.
