The ocean is a common aquatic biome consisting predominantly of water. Oceans are the largest biome by area, covering anywhere around 25-33% of the surface area of the Overworld when factoring in all of its variants, and consist of a deep body of water with the surface at an altitude of Y=63 by default, which is counted as the "sea level" of the world.
Contents
Description[edit]
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. The seafloor is fairly hilly, featuring multiple peaks and valleys, and is mostly covered by a one-block layer of gravel, though some clay, dirt and sand patches may generate near the peaks. Ravines 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 beaches surrounding a patch of a common biome, such as forest or plains. The seafloor is covered with seagrass and kelp, with "forests" of kelp frequently reaching close to, or even touching the water's surface. Aquatic mobs, such as cod, salmon, squid, and dolphins, frequently spawn within oceans. Shipwrecks and underwater ruins frequently generate within all oceans, more often than other structures in other biomes. Deep ocean variants can occasionally generate ocean monuments.
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. Ocean biomes are quite vast; one might not find the mainland for hundreds or even thousands of blocks. 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. Depending on the island's size, drowned are likely to be the most frequent mob encountered, followed by skeletons. See the Island Survival article for more information.

Variants[edit]
Oceans come in nine different varieties in-game, including the base ocean and eight different variants. Both editions also have an unused Deep Warm Ocean variant, while Bedrock Edition has an additional unused Legacy Frozen Ocean variant.
Deep Ocean[edit]

In the Deep Ocean variant, the ocean can exceed 30 blocks in-depth, making it twice as deep as the normal ocean. The ground is mainly covered with gravel. Ocean monuments generate in deep oceans, meaning guardians and elder guardians can spawn here. Dolphins, cod, salmon[Bedrock Edition only] and squid spawn in these oceans as well. Underwater caves and ravines often generate here, forming underwater trenches. Exposed lava in these trenches occasionally turns into magma blocks, creating whirlpool bubble columns that can drag a player down.
Deep oceans use the same mob spawning chances as oceans.

The Frozen Ocean variant has dark purple water at the surface. Like the cold ocean, it has a gravel seabed, though the water's surface is mostly frozen. Neither seagrass nor kelp generates on the seafloor, leaving it entirely barren and reminiscent of pre-1.13 oceans. Large icebergs made of snow blocks, packed ice, and blue ice frequently generate on the surface and polar bears and strays may spawn on these icebergs. Salmon, cod[Bedrock Edition only] and squid may spawn here as well, and are the only aquatic mobs (other than drowned) that can.
Similarly to swamps, frozen oceans have varying temperatures across their landscapes, but have a more noticeable effect in that colder patches have snowfall and ice sheets, while warmer patches have rainfall (up to a certain height, similarly to mountains) and unfrozen water. This does not apply to their deep variants, however.
In Java Edition, frozen oceans (along with their deep variants) never generate directly bordering land. They always have a 32-block-wide border of the cold ocean around them should they generate close to any land. This border is often jagged and broken.
In Java Edition, frozen oceans use the same mob spawning chances as oceans for hostile and ambient categories. As for the others:

Deep Frozen Ocean variants also contain ocean monuments and a deeper floor than normal oceans. In Java Edition, unlike its shallow counterpart, the surface of the water is not frozen;[1] however, the surface is completely frozen in Bedrock Edition. Icebergs may still generate and polar bears, strays, cod[Bedrock Edition only] and salmon may still spawn.

The Cold Ocean variant has dark indigo water at the surface. Like regular oceans and frozen oceans, its floor is made up of gravel, although there are scarce patches of dirt, sand and clay on underwater peaks. Salmon, cod, dolphins, squid and drowned are able to spawn in cold ocean biomes, alongside all the other common hostile mobs.

The Lukewarm Ocean variant has light teal water at the surface. Its floor is made of sand with the occasional dirt, gravel and clay and it contains kelp and seagrass. Underwater ruins that generate in lukewarm and warm oceans are made of sandy materials, as opposed to the stony materials that make up ruins in the other oceans. Cod, salmon[Bedrock Edition only], tropical fish[Java Edition only] and pufferfish[Java Edition only] may spawn here, alongside the other aquatic mobs.

The Warm Ocean variant has light green water at the surface. Like the lukewarm ocean, it has a floor made of sand, and like all except frozen oceans, it is populated with seagrass. Warm oceans feature large coral reefs and numerous sea pickles, 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. Tropical fish and pufferfish may spawn here, like in lukewarm oceans, though cod does not spawn.
In Java Edition, similarly to frozen oceans, warm oceans never generate directly bordering land. They always have a 32-block-wide border of the lukewarm ocean around them should they generate close to any land. This border is also very jagged, like frozen oceans.

The Legacy Frozen Ocean variant is similar to frozen ocean biomes, but without icebergs, making it look like flatlands of ice. Polar bears and strays can spawn in here. Unlike the regular frozen ocean biome, rabbits can spawn here and have their snowy texture. Also unlike the regular frozen ocean, no monsters other than drowned, strays and skeletons can spawn here. This biome also generates kelp. This biome existed prior in Pocket Edition Alpha 0.9.0. This biome does not naturally generate, though it can be generated using a biome editor or add-ons.
Legacy frozen oceans use the same mob spawning chances as frozen oceans for water and passive categories. As for the others:

Trivia[edit]
- The plains and forest biomes also generates in patches within normal deep ocean biomes, similar to how 'Hills' biomes generate within their respective base biomes.
- Although normal Deep ocean biomes can generate standalone, normal deep ocean biomes also generates in patches within normal ocean biomes, similar to how 'Hills' biomes generate within their respective base biomes.
