Deep Lukewarm Ocean

The Deep Lukewarm Ocean is a deeper variant of the lukewarm ocean found in the Overworld, generating in moderately warm temperature zones. It sits at the boundary between lukewarm oceans and mushroom fields, with deep oceans forming at cooler edges and regular warm oceans at warmer ones. Stretching roughly twice as deep as a standard ocean, the Deep Lukewarm Ocean is one of only a handful of biomes where ocean monuments are able to generate.

The seafloor of the Deep Lukewarm Ocean is covered in sand, with tall seagrass and kelp reaching upward through the water column. A variety of warm-water fish inhabit these waters, including tropical fish, cod, and pufferfish. Squid, dolphins, nautiluses, and glow squid are also present, with the latter typically found at greater depths. Drowned mobs and other hostile creatures spawn here as well, making underwater navigation a genuine hazard.

Explorers venturing into the Deep Lukewarm Ocean can encounter ocean monuments, shipwrecks, and ocean ruins, each offering assorted loot. Ocean monuments are defended by guardians and elder guardians, and their interiors include prismarine blocks, sponge rooms, and a core chamber containing gold blocks. Players with Vibrant Visuals enabled will notice a semi-humid volumetric fog across the Deep Lukewarm Ocean that softens distant geometry with a faint orange tint, distinguishing it visually from other ocean biomes.
