Make the oceans deeper. Far far far deeper!

[noble leaf]

Give us a reason to use the oxygen tank from Create. As of right now, the snorkel is more than enough because all bodies of water are just pitifully shallow. The "ocean" is like, 20 blocks deep.
Tbh some more aquatic hostile mobs would be nice too, so that these deep oceans aren't just filled with Pokemon. I personally would love to see the ocean biomes turning into an actual blue abyss

Edit: also squid backpack gives infinite water breathing. Kind of defeats the point about the back tank, but the main point of "the waters are shallow and empty" still stands

Main concern is its not compatible with certain other terrain gen mods so you'd have to sacrifice some of the land gen mods to get the ocean gen instead.

The bigchadguys players yearn for subnautica

PLEASE

I'm not kidding, I think it would genuinely be awesome if we had subnautica levels of Thalassophobia

[torpid fern]

Okay

[noble leaf]

I'm not a modder so I have no idea how the compatibility is affected or how one would go about fixing it, but I still hope that it can happen

[remote python]

I mean, the mod page literally states the mods its not useable with and the modpack uses those mods it says incompatible with for world gen

The mod authors of multiple mods would have to come together to make one mod that combines all aspects and its just unlikely to ever happen

I remember a pack in 1.16.5 with mekanism and stuff it was awesome you could create submarines and stuff it was so much fun ores were found by smashing rocks you found on specific ocean level on the ground laying around and the deeper you went the better stuff was required to not die

[noble leaf]

It doesn't have to specifically be that mod "Deeper Oceans" to function. I'm just saying that in general it would be nice to have a mod or even a setting to change maximum ocean depth

[noble leaf]

That sounds amazing tbh. What were the dangers in the water? Mobs or crush depth?

[spice cape]

Mobs and depth like it had sharks drowned zombies pufferfish that attacked when you got too close and many more mobs when you got too deep without the right diving gear you started taking heavy damage

Not like current minecraft drowning like you died within 5 seconds

[noble leaf]

BROOOO that sounds fucking amazing, like actually. Minecraft ocean is just so.... Empty. I really wish it had the same exploratory vibes and excitement that caves do

[spice cape]

Agree ocean is lacking even tho they started showing love before abandoning it again

[noble leaf]

We need oceanic Eldritch Horrors to make a comeback 🔥🔥🔥

Also, another point with deeper oceans, the back tank is basically non-existent for use in this modpack anyway. The Squid Traveling Backpack gives you permanent water breathing. By the time you get enough equipment to properly make the back tank and pressurize air into it, you will DEFINITELY have enough materials to make the basic Travelers Backpack and kill 4 squid for their ink sacs

More of an incentive/reason to make an underwater sprawling expanse

[torpid fern]

How does doing that stop me from just making the squid backpack anyway

It would make sense if we did it similar to Calamity mod from Terraria’s oceanic “abyss” biome

Where normal forms of infinite waterbreathing become disabled once you go deep enough to enter the biome and instead just get a flat additon to how long you can be down there

[torpid fern]

What would the incentive even be to explore deeper

[half geyser]

In Calamity you would revisit the biome 3 seperate times at different stages of main progression and go deeper each time in search of gear/materials for gear to help you bridge towards the next bossfight
