The '''ocean''' is an aquatic [[biome]] consisting of [[water]]. Oceans are the largest biome by area, covering anywhere around 28-29% of the surface area of the [[Overworld]] when factoring in all of its varieties and consist of a deep water source with the surface at an altitude of Y=62 by default, which is counted as the “sea level” layer of the world.

== Description ==
[[File:Ocean colors.png|thumb|120px|The separate colors of each ocean variant {{in|java}}.]]
Oceans are vast expanses of [[water]], going from sea level all the way down to the ocean floor, which is at a depth of roughly Y=45 for normal oceans, or 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 [[gravel]] or [[sand]], though some [[clay]], [[dirt]], [[gravel]] and [[sand]] patches may generate near the peaks. [[Canyon]]s can occasionally generate on the ocean floor, forming underwater trenches. Some seafloor peaks may reach high enough to form islands on the surface of the ocean; these islands are typically small and may have very sparse vegetation with very little grass and oak trees. The seafloor is often covered with [[seagrass]] and [[kelp]], with "forests" of kelp frequently reaching close to or even touching the water's surface. [[Fish]], [[squid]] and [[dolphin]]s frequently spawn within oceans. [[Shipwreck]]s and [[ocean ruins]] generate within all oceans, while deep ocean variants can occasionally generate [[ocean monument]]s. The regular ocean variant mainly generates when bordering on land, while deep variants generate when away from land.

Survival in ocean biomes themselves is impractical due to all the [[water]]. A player who camps on an island in the ocean faces a rather difficult situation. This means that whatever resources found on an island might be all the player has if the player is unwilling or unable to venture out. See the [[tutorials/Island survival|island survival]] article for more information.

== Variants ==
{{for|variants that existed before 1.18|Biome/Before 1.18}}
Oceans come in nine different varieties in-game, including the base ocean and eight different variants. ''[[Bedrock Edition]]'' has two unused biomes, "deep warm ocean" and "legacy frozen ocean".

The '''deep ocean''' variant generates at deeper waters, with the depth usually being around 30 blocks which is twice as deep as shallower oceans. The ground is mainly covered with [[gravel]]. [[Ocean monument]]s generate in deep oceans, meaning [[guardian]]s and [[elder guardian]]s can spawn there. [[Dolphin]]s, [[cod]], [[salmon]]{{only|bedrock}} and [[squid]] spawn in these oceans as well. Underwater [[cave]]s and [[ravine]]s often generate here, forming underwater trenches. Tall seagrass also generates more frequently in deep oceans compared to shallower oceans.

Deep oceans use the same mob spawning chances as oceans.

The '''frozen ocean''' has low temperature and often borders [[snowy beach]]es. They generate next to {{BiomeLink|Snowy Plains|snowy plains}}, {{BiomeLink|Ice Spikes|ice spikes}}, and {{BiomeLink|Snowy Taiga|snowy taigas}} usually, but they can also generate next to {{BiomeLink|Taiga|regular taiga biomes}}, resulting in incorrect and weird generation. Like the standard and cold oceans, it has a gravel seabed, though the water's surface is mostly{{only|java|short=1}}/completely{{only|bedrock|short=1}} frozen. Neither seagrass nor kelp generates on the seafloor, leaving it entirely barren and reminiscent of pre-[[Update Aquatic]] oceans. Large [[iceberg]]s made of [[snow block]]s, [[packed ice]] and a bit of [[blue ice]] frequently generate on the surface.

{{IN|java}}, frozen oceans have varying temperatures across their landscapes, and have a more noticeable effect in that colder patches have snowfall and ice sheets, while warmer patches have rainfall (up to a certain height) and unfrozen water. See also [[Biome#Temperature]].

The '''deep frozen ocean''' generate at deeper waters and also contain [[ocean monument]]s. [[Iceberg]]s may still generate, but unlike normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen {{in|java}}<ref>{{bug|MC-131587|resolution=WAI}}</ref>. {{IN|bedrock}}, the water's surface is entirely frozen.

The '''cold ocean''' uses a dark indigo water color at the surface and often generates next to cold biomes like [[taiga]]s and [[old growth taiga]]s. Like regular oceans and frozen oceans, its floor is made up mainly of [[gravel]]. The vegetation in cold oceans also has less seagrass compared to other ocean variants.

The '''lukewarm ocean''' has light blue water at the surface and generates in regions with slightly warm biomes like [[jungle]]s and [[savanna]]s. Its floor is made of [[sand]], with occasional patches of [[dirt]], [[gravel]] and [[clay]] in shallower areas. [[Ocean ruins]] that generate in lukewarm and warm oceans are made of [[Sandstone|sandy]] materials, as opposed to the [[stone|stony]] materials that make up ruins in colder oceans. This biome also has more seagrass and less kelp compared to colder ocean variants.

The '''warm ocean''' has an aquamarine water tone at the surface and often generates next to [[desert]]s and [[badlands]]. Like the lukewarm ocean, it has a floor mainly made of [[sand]], however no dirt, clay or gravel generate at shallower areas and if this biome generates above sea level, the surface is made of sand instead of grass blocks. Warm oceans feature [[coral reef]]s and numerous [[sea pickle]]s, though [[kelp]] does not naturally generate here. Because of the height of the coral reef, warm oceans can appear more shallow than other oceans, though the actual ocean floor is no deeper. This is also the only ocean temperature variant that can generate at deeper waters without needing a deep variant, and because of that monuments can't be found in this biome.

The '''legacy frozen ocean''' variant is similar to frozen ocean biomes, but without [[iceberg]]s, making it look like flatlands of ice. [[Rabbit]]s, [[polar bear]]s and [[stray]]s spawn here. [[Rabbit]]s have their snowy texture. No monsters other than [[drowned]], strays and [[skeleton]]s can spawn here. This biome also generates [[kelp]]. Those [[biome]]s were much smaller and existed prior in [[Pocket Edition v0.9.0 alpha]]<!-- Frozen ocean in current versions have different an ID with the outdated frozen ocean not removed, nor replaced by a new one-->. This biome does not naturally generate, though it can be generated using a biome editor or add-ons. <!-- Discovered these unused biomes on 1.12.0 (Biomes was unused since o.9.0 and not replaced by newly frozen ocean, however, the ID changed to legacy_frozen_ocean.) -->

Legacy frozen oceans use the same mob spawning chances as frozen oceans for water and passive categories. As for the others:

== 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.

== 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.
*Before [[1.18]], regular and deep frozen oceans could generate near any kind of biome. It was somewhat common to see an [[iceberg]] bordering a [[desert]], [[savanna]] or [[badlands]] in ''[[Bedrock Edition]]''. Until 1.18, frozen oceans had a rough regular ocean border to minimize this effect in ''[[Java Edition]]''.
