Cold Ocean
Overworld (water)
A dark indigo ocean that generates near taigas and other cold coasts. Gravel floor, sparse seagrass, salmon and cod schools, and plenty of shipwrecks and cold ocean ruins.
Resources
- Salmon and cod schools for easy food
- Kelp and seagrass (sparser than in warmer oceans)
- Shipwreck loot: treasure maps, iron, lapis
- Cold ocean ruins with drowned and buried treasure maps
Mobs
- Salmon and cod; dolphins in Bedrock
- Squid, glow squid and nautiluses
- Drowned - trident throwers can spawn riding a zombie nautilus
Structures
- Shipwrecks are common
- Ocean ruins in their cold (gravel-and-stone) variant
- A deep cold ocean variant generates further out
Why go
- Reliable salmon fishing near cold coasts
- Shipwreck and ruin treasure hunting
- Kelp farming fuel for smokers
Tips
- Cold oceans never border mushroom fields - use that to rule out coasts when hunting one.
- Bring a door or magma blocks for air pockets on long dives.
- Night swimming is risky here: drowned are common, and a trident drowned on a zombie nautilus moves fast.
