THE UPDATE THAT CHANGED THE WAVES

Hey Mojang,
Just wanted to send over the clean notes for the upgraded ocean biome concept! I love how we watered down the ideas to keep it perfectly in line with how Minecraft actually builds its world.
Here’s the quick recap of the final roster:
  • The Passives: Whales, starfish, and sea lions are purely for vibe and utility (like sea lions guiding you to shipwrecks). Penguins are the only ones here that shed anything, molting Down Feathers on the ice.
  • The Neutrals: Real-world predators like sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, and orcas stay neutral. Sharks will drop a Shark Tooth on the seafloor when they bite prey, and crabs will leave behind an Old Carapace on the beach, but the rest don’t clutter the ocean floor with drops. You can still scoop jellyfish up in a bucket for a portable light source, though!
  • The Hostiles: Since Minecraft rules say hostiles have to be fantasy, we’ve got Zombie Sharks, Skeleton Whales, and Sirens. Because they’re monsters, they actually drop their rare loot when you defeat them.
  • Also, waves. These are mobs that cannot be damaged but have a hitbox. Dolphins and orcas will ride these waves.
It feels super clean, performance-friendly, and very authentic to the vanilla game. 
Best of luck with that, zarzar1033

    Even though the ocean ideas are cool, the rivers and swamps are still feeling empty, so adding new fish and a brand-new tree type will completely transform those freshwater ecosystems. To fix this, you can generate massive Cypress trees across wetlands, featuring wide mossy bases, hanging Spanish moss, and a highly requested pale-green interior wood palette. The murky waters will come alive with bass that leap out to snap at bugs, muddy catfish scavenging along the swamp floor, ambush-hunting pike darting through riverbeds, and fast trout swimming up cold mountain streams. Unlike the bigger ocean mobs, all of these freshwater additions—plus schools of fast tuna, flashing neon mahi-mahi, and massive, boat-pulling marlins out in the deep sea—will drop their own unique raw fish meats, giving players an awesome reason to go exploring, fishing, and cooking with the new green wood!
