Where Ocean Monuments Generate
Ocean monuments generate in deep-ocean regions and rise from the sea floor as large prismarine buildings.
How to Find Ocean Monuments
A monument's scale and prismarine shape become much easier to recognize in deep water when underwater visibility is improved.
What to Look For
- Buy an ocean explorer map from a cartographer villager
- Travel across deep oceans by boat and watch beneath the surface at daylight
- Bring water breathing, night vision, milk, and edition-appropriate air supplies
Find Ocean Monuments with Commands
Use /locate structure minecraft:monument in Java Edition. In Bedrock, choose monument from /locate structure autocomplete.
Common Search Problems
If the search is taking much longer than expected, check these common causes.
- Ordinary treasure maps do not point to monuments
- Guardians can attack before the building becomes clearly visible
- Mining fatigue makes entering without preparation extremely slow
