Setting Up Bubbling Chests and Warm Ocean Water Effects

Building a Bubbling Underwater Chest

You can create animated underwater storage displays using soul sand mechanics:

1. Place a block of soul sand underwater.

2. Place a chest directly on top of the soul sand block, fully submerged.

3. The chest will now periodically and randomly open itself, emitting bubble streams upward into the water column.

Spotting Glowing Plankton in Warm Oceans

Water visuals change dramatically when you enter warmer climates:

1. Travel to a warm ocean biome.

2. Fall into the ocean or push mobs into the water. Whenever entities fall into water here, the resulting water splashes, ripples, and water droplets glow blue due to glowing plankton.

3. Direct flowing water into the warm ocean to create waterfall clouds; these clouds will also emit the distinctive blue plankton glow.

4. If your ocean visual effects cause performance drops or if you want to turn off the glowing plankton, open the configuration options where all water splashes and glowing mechanics can be toggled.
