Ocean ruins or underwater ruins are oceanic structures primarily composed of stone bricks or sandstone. They come in many different sizes varying from large villages to single ruined huts. They are rare, and have cold and warm variants.

Generation[edit]

Cold ocean ruins generate in normal, cold, and frozen ocean biomes, as well as their deep variants. They are composed of stone materials.

Warm ocean ruins generate in warm, lukewarm, and deep lukewarm ocean biomes, and are composed of sandstone and stone materials.

Although most ocean ruins generate underwater, they sometimes generate on land.

30% of ocean ruins generate as large ocean ruins; the other 70% generate as small ruins. If the ocean ruin is large, there is a 90% chance for 4-8 (inclusive) small ocean ruins to generate around it in a cluster. If the ocean ruin is warm, large ocean ruins generate with a structure integrity of 0.9 and small ocean ruins generate with a structure integrity of 0.8. If the ocean ruin is cold, the "brick" variant of the chosen structure type generates with a structure integrity of 0.9 if large and 0.8 if small. The "cracked" variant generates with a structure integrity of 0.7, and the "mossy" variant generates with a structure integrity of 0.5, both regardless of size. Reduced structure integrity may also remove drowned and loot chests from the structures.[verify]

During generation, all air blocks and structure blocks act as structure voids.

Structure[edit]

Main article: Ocean Ruins/Structure

The shape and size of ocean ruins varies greatly, and they often generate together in groups to create ruined villages.

All but two of the structures contain a loot chest with loot inside. The chest contains loot for specifically either a small or large sized ocean ruin structure and may be buried by some sort of material such as gravel and sand. Ocean ruins too may be at least partially buried including with their airspaces.

Cold ocean ruins are primarily composed of stone bricks and gravel, and also contain prismarine, sand, magma blocks, sea lanterns, polished granite, glazed terracotta, bricks, planks, cobblestone, mossy cobblestone, stone brick stairs, obsidian, and/or a chest with loot in it. Warm ocean ruins are primarily composed of sand and sandstone, and also contain polished granite, polished diorite, sea lanterns, magma blocks, gravel, terracotta, sandstone stairs, and/or a loot chest.

Many of the structures spawn with drowned (usually 1–2, though a few structures have 3 or 4).

Note that natural ocean ruins generate following the rules above and may not exactly match the stored structures.

History[edit]

The first official image of underwater ruins.
The same image, brightened for clarity.
Java Edition
December 27, 2017A picture was released on Minecraft.net, which shows a faint underwater ruins structure in the top right corner, more visible when the image is brightened.
February 15, 2018Minecraft's Instagram account posted a video clip showing the underwater ruins that were to be added in the Update Aquatic.
1.1318w09aAdded underwater ruins. They are found commonly.
18w10aBuried treasure explorer maps now generate in the chests of underwater ruins.
18w16aDrowned now spawn in underwater ruins.
1.1620w06aUnderwater Ruins are much less common.
Bedrock Edition

Education Edition
1.4.0Added underwater ruins.

Issues[edit]

Issues relating to "Ocean Ruins" are maintained on the bug tracker. Report issues there.

Trivia[edit]

An ocean ruin in Bedrock Edition that generated completely on land. Note the waterlogged chest and the water block above it that has not been updated.
An ocean ruin in Java Edition that also generated completely on land. Note that the loot chest is not waterlogged and doesn't have a water block on it.
  • In Bedrock Edition, ocean ruins generate with approximately equal spacing in the X and Z directions.
  • In the Bedrock Edition, the loot chest of ocean ruins generates waterlogged as well as having a water block above it.[1] This can be seen in the image on the right. In Java Edition though, this is not the case, according to the second picture.[2]

Gallery[edit]

  • Parts of a larger ruin peek out of the seabed.

  • Underwater ruined Village.

  • Chest found inside a larger building with multiple rooms.

  • Ruins generated beside a Badlands.

  • Small ocean ruins generated in Lukewarm Ocean.

  • A chest located in an ocean ruins building, that is hidden by a block, viewed in Spectator mode.

  • Another screenshot of an ocean ruins structure.

  • Underwater ruins generated within a coral reef.

  • A ruined village inhabited by drowned.

Odd generation[edit]

  • A ruined village partially generated on land.

  • Ruins generated on an island.

  • An ocean ruin completely generated on a hill near the water.

  • A ruined village generated on frozen ocean and beaches.

  • Ruins generated on land in Bedrock Edition, note that water generated above or in the chest.

  • Part of a ruin generated on a mountain. The rest of the ruins are in the ocean below. A Village can be seen as well.

  • A ruined village that generated on land in Java Edition, note that a loot chest is visible and is not waterlogged unlike in Bedrock Edition.

  • Underwater ruins generated on land.
