The deep frozen ocean is a deep variant of frozen oceans. Unlike the regular frozen ocean, the water surface is not covered with ice, though icebergs still generate in the water.

Description

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 biome generates at deeper waters and can also contain ocean monuments. Icebergs may still generate, but unlike the normal frozen ocean, the water's surface is not frozen in Java Edition[1].

Sounds

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.
