Where Ocean Ruins Generate
Ocean ruins generate on ocean floors. Warm ruins use sandstone materials; cold ruins use stone-brick materials and can appear in clusters.
How to Find Ocean Ruins
Ocean ruins may be isolated or clustered, and their building materials change between warm and cold ocean variants.
What to Look For
- Boat across clear ocean water during daylight and look down for regular block patterns
- Use night vision to improve underwater visibility
- Search the ruin carefully for chests and suspicious sand or gravel
Find Ocean Ruins with Commands
Use /locate structure minecraft:ocean_ruin_cold or minecraft:ocean_ruin_warm in Java where supported; use autocomplete to see identifiers in your edition.
Common Search Problems
If the search is taking much longer than expected, check these common causes.
- Ruins can be partly buried
- Drowned often spawn nearby
- Warm and cold variants use different materials and identifiers
