Minecraft Cold Ocean Finder
Highlight every Cold Ocean patch on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.51, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Cold Oceans are cool, grey-blue seas where salmon and cod shoal through tall kelp forests near snowy coasts. This finder highlights every Cold Ocean patch on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.
Where do Cold Oceans generate?
Cold Oceans generate on the Overworld surface in cool regions, between the temperate ocean and the icy frozen ocean, often off the coast of taiga and snowy biomes. The water is a darker grey-blue and cold enough that dolphins stay away, but it is not frozen over like a frozen ocean.
How do I find a Cold Ocean on my seed?
Enter your seed and the map highlights every Cold Ocean — click any highlighted patch to read its coordinates. Because it runs the same world-generation maths Minecraft uses, every patch of cold water is marked exactly on any seed and in either edition.
What lives in a Cold Ocean?
Cold Oceans are the home of salmon, which shoal here alongside cod and squid — the main difference from the warmer seas, which have no salmon. Kelp forests grow tall on the floor, stone ocean ruins and shipwrecks hold loot, and drowned patrol the depths after dark.
