This page describes content that has been removed from the game.

This feature was present in earlier versions of Java Edition, but has since been removed.

This article describes content that has been officially made unobtainable in Bedrock Edition.

It can still be obtained using third-party software. However, this can cause unexpected behavior such as bugs and crashes.

The deep warm ocean was a deep warm variant of oceans.

Description

The separate colors of each ocean variant in *Java Edition*.

The deep warm ocean was similar to the warm ocean, but twice as deep and without coral reefs or sea pickles. Since they were a deep ocean variant, tall seagrass was more frequent and ocean monuments could generate as well. Unlike shallow warm oceans, pufferfish could not spawn in deep warm oceans.

This biome did not naturally generate in any non-snapshot or beta version.

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.
