Navigating Deep Oceans and Trenches

Ocean Depth Changes

Oceans in Cliff Under a Branch are significantly deeper than vanilla Minecraft. You'll find magma and basalt trenches far below the surface, creating dramatic underwater landscapes. Prepare for longer diving expeditions when exploring ocean floors.

What You'll Find Below

As you descend into deep ocean trenches, you'll encounter basalt pillars and magma formations. These create natural underwater structures to explore and navigate around. Bring plenty of air-breathing equipment like potions or helmets with respiration enchantments.

Exploration Strategy

Use boats to travel across the surface, then dive strategically in areas that interest you. The deeper trenches are dangerous—bring healing items and be prepared to ascend quickly if needed. The basalt formations can be mined for resources, but focus on safety first. Consider marking your dive locations so you can find your way back to the surface.
