Getting Started with Hopo Better Underwater Ruins

Exploring the New Depths

Hopo Better Underwater Ruins expands what you find beneath the waves. Instead of the sparse vanilla ocean floor, you'll now encounter small ruins scattered underwater and along shorelines, underwater fossils, and even entire submerged cities. These structures give ocean exploration a real purpose beyond a few scattered blocks.

Because the ruins are meant to be explored, bring the usual diving gear: potions of water breathing or a conduit, and enough light to see inside dark corridors. The mod also reworks drowned mobs, adding several new variations, so the water is more dangerous than before. Expect tougher encounters as you swim through the new structures.

The description also notes hidden treasures and surprises tucked inside the ruins, so search carefully rather than swimming past. Check side rooms, gaps, and less obvious corners. Since the mod is small and focused, the core loop is simple: dive, fight the new drowned variants, and loot what the ruins are hiding.
