The lukewarm ocean is a lukewarm variant of oceans, notable for its sand floor and warm fish.

Generation

Lukewarm oceans generate as oceans in the moderately high temperature zones, often bordering jungles, savannas, mangrove swamps, and windswept savannas, but also plains and forests.

The lukewarm ocean generates as a shallow ocean, bordering coastal biomes and deep lukewarm oceans, but never mushroom fields. They can border warm oceans near higher temperature zones, and regular oceans near lower.

Description

The separate colors of each ocean variant in Java Edition

The lukewarm ocean has light blue water at the surface. Its floor is made of sand, with occasional patches of dirt, gravel and clay in shallower areas. Ocean ruins that generate in lukewarm and warm oceans are made of sandstone blocks, as opposed to the stone blocks that make up ruins in colder oceans. This biome also has more seagrass and less kelp compared to colder ocean variants.

Occasional islands in lukewarm oceans are covered by grass blocks with default vegetation.

Like in warm oceans, tropical fish and pufferfish spawn here, as well as cod and salmon.‌[BE only] Zombie nautiluses use their coral variant.

With Vibrant Visuals, lukewarm oceans use a coolish humid volumetric fog setting, which slightly fades the distance in an orange tint.
