Ocean

Oceans spawn on both sides of a map. They are large bodies of water with a sand floor, that slowly progress downwards until you reach a certain point. Oceans have certain life-forms and items that can only be found around them, some examples being the Pink Jellyfish, Crab, and Shark. The ocean is the only spot that Coral can be found, a key ingredient for certain potions. In oceans, because of the vast amount of space, it is possible to find a chest underwater, maybe more than just one. Oceans are the easiest places to find Breathing Reeds, Flippers, and Tridents, because the chests will be submerged in water. Oceans do not go onwards forever, they will eventually stop going down and reach the very side of the map. On rare occasions the map stops but allows you to go on, thus being able to travel to hell without digging. There's also a strange glitch that the water on the edge of the map can become stuck, but can only be viewed in a world editor/viewer.
