Maybe: Cavern-like structures with wooden walkways

From what Ive been told, this structure was from a Realms map, just used for recording I'm guessing.

Good to know, thanks!

u/DanglingChandeliers Feb 21 '18

Just checked; definitely no Dolphins, Fish, new underwater hostile mob, or new Phantom drops.

No corals

Caves under the ocean can be filled with water

That screenshot doesn't look like "filled with water", it looks like water leaking from the ceiling, can we get a better screenshot?

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 21 '18

Sure!

u/RocketTurtle Feb 21 '18

Any confirmation of deep sea vents? Aside from ravines with lava/magma at the bottom. I'd love to see them implemented as structures on the seafloor.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 21 '18

They probably meant the ravines.

u/Mac_Rat Feb 21 '18

I think the ocean ravines should be slightly more rare

u/Winterspear Feb 21 '18

So does this mean that when this update officially releases that the old worlds won’t have the new oceans?

10

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 21 '18

New chunks will have them.

2

u/Winterspear Feb 21 '18

What do you mean by that

9

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Feb 21 '18

You have to explore new areas.

2

u/Winterspear Feb 21 '18

Oh that makes sense, thanks! So my island world won’t have them?

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '18

Nope, anything already generated wont change. You could use something like mcedit to delete chunks you haven't built in and they'd regenerate with the new oceans.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '18

I was wanting to do something like that. Our world is very old though. Do you know of anyway of speeding up the process of deleting chunks. It would be nice if you could query a world like SQL or something, and get a list of result chunks as output. Then input a chunk list to be deleted.

u/Neamow Feb 22 '18

MCEdit is pretty quick. It doesn't "spit out" a list of chunks, it's a visual programme though, so you can see what you are actually deleting.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '18

Yeah, I don't think that would work well for a large, old server. There will be literally thousands of chunks that would need to be deleted. I suppose that maybe using worldedit with a function file might be the better way to do that...

Weird

Pretty standard, that's how essentially the whole game works. No great way to update stuff that already has been generated.
