Ocean World
Ocean World changes how oceans generate in Forge worlds, adding ocean terrain with more landmasses, islands and challenges for adventure play.
What it does
The mod reworks ocean generation so that open water is less empty. Its author describes the goal as making the sea livelier and more challenging for adventure play, with islands and landmasses easier to find than in a default endless ocean. Players who travel by boat or want to meet friends across water are the audience the notes point to.
Terrain generation changes apply to new chunks, and the author notes that terrain changes made after 1.19.3 are handled by the separate Customize World Generation mod, which should be installed alongside it. The Biomes O' Plenty mod is noted as still compatible when Ocean World is installed. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files cover eight release versions, with 7.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
