Generation
Ocean monuments only generate in areas with a deep ocean biome A river bisecting a jungle biome. At the top right is a forest. A river running through a mesa biome with mesa plateaus, with a savanna biome in the bottom right. “ In case you everywhere within a 16 block square radius around the center point, and an aquatic biome (regular/deep/frozen ocean, regular/frozen river) everywhere within a 29 block square radius around the center point. In order to prevent air pockets, water will generate around the monument as a part of the structure.
Ocean monuments can generate in existing chunks from older versions (1.7 or later when deep water biomes were added although they have been also noted in worlds generated in older versions) of Minecraft, as long as players have not spent more than 3 minutes total near those chunks.
Ocean monuments are always above the ocean floor; they are never buried.
