The deep frozen ocean is a deep frozen variant of oceans.

Description[edit | edit source]

The separate colors of each ocean variant in Java Edition.

The deep frozen ocean is the rarest ocean biome, covering 1.12% of the Overworld's surface area and 3.78% of the total ocean area.

The deep frozen ocean generate at deeper waters and also contain ocean monuments. Icebergs may still generate, but unlike normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen in Java Edition[1]. In Bedrock Edition, the water's surface is entirely frozen.

Sounds[edit | edit source]

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.
