Notable features

 * Bubble columns, caused by naturally generated magma blocks on the ocean floor. They rise up to the surface and can be dangerous for boats passing by.
 * Coral, new decorative block, clusters of which generate in warm ocean biomes as coral reefs. At least four color variations were shown: white, dark purple, magenta and yellow. Stairs and slabs are also presented.
 * Kelp, new underwater plant. It seems like there are many types of it: some are small, reddish and yellowish bushes, some are green and can stretch up for dozens of blocks, even reaching surface level - this variation even has an animation of "leaves moving with current".
 * Trident, a new weapon. It can be used in melee combat or can be thrown at the enemy. It can have unique enchantments, but they will work only if underwater or exposed to rain.
 * "The Monster of the Night Skies", also known as "insomnia beast", new hostile flying mob "spawning at high altitudes. It is attracted to insomnia, and will find players who haven't slept for many days. It will swoop down in groups and bite your flesh."
 * Dolphin, new friendly water mob spawning in oceans. They will help players with underwater structure search.
 * Fish, finally, is not only an item, but also a mob. Cod, salmon, puffer fish, clownfish and even more species of tropical fish will be added. Any player will be able to catch a fish in a bucket, and it will not despawn anymore after release, allowing to create aquariums at home.
 * Shipwrecks, new structures that generate on the ocean bed and contain some treasures.
 * Icebergs, new structures consisting on packed ice and snow, that generate on the surface of frozen ocean biomes.
