[The next content update for Blue Depths will be part 2 of Roaring Rivers, the final part of Roaring Rivers. The update after Roaring Rivers will focus on a different theme (TBA)]

Blue Depths transforms Minecraft’s oceans AND rivers into a living, breathing ecosystem, providing new creatures that Minecraft normally wouldn’t add.

Blue Depths is meant for players who want a deeper ocean experience without sacrificing performance or vanilla balancing. Players can conquer these new creatures and even raise them as their own, experiencing their life cycles.

Along with that, the datapack also adds a new difficult boss to the game, The Nameless Depth, a being lost to time and forgotten by the ocean.

An in-game guidebook can be crafted using a book and salmon, and provides a much better explanation of all the features.

1.1.1Релиз26.2 · 5 июля 2026 г.

4th of July Small Patch and Compatibility with 26.2 (v1.1.1)

News

Sorry for going dark for a bit, a lot of stuff has been going on behind the scenes. I haven't even gotten started on the development of Part 2 for Roaring Rivers. However, I am not without reason, I've actually been spending the development time I normally would have on the actual update towards making The Official Blue Depths Wiki from scratch, and filling it up with as much detail as possible with everything about the datapack's mechanics, mobs, items, boss, etc. It's been live for a few days as of me posting this small patch, but I wanted to leave it as a note here on the changelog because it is very important, especially for the future of the datapack. So please check it out.

I do have good news though, with the release of this patch and the completion of the Blue Depths Wiki (with some minor fixes I need to make for making it work better on mobile) Part 2 of Roaring Rivers is the next thing on the list, and I will be starting it immediately. In the meantime, enjoy this small patch/compatibility update for 26.2.

Update v1.1.0 (Roaring Rivers Part 1: Below the Surface)

The first update to Blue Depths is now live: Roaring Rivers Part 1!

I will be monitoring the feedback channels for any requested changes like spawn adjustments before working on part 2, so please leave any suggestions either on Planet Minecraft or the Google Forms!

1.0.3Релиз26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 · 10 апреля 2026 г.

Final Patch (Until 1.1 Release)

IMPORTANT [Exclusively for players playing 26.1-26.1.2]

This current version 100% works for 26.1 to 26.1.2; please ignore all other versions for 26.1 to 26.1.2. Apologies to those who tried to install the datapack in 26.1 and above, previously. When initially testing out the datapack, the test was done on a pre-26.1 world, because of this I was not aware that the pack did not work when installed on a brand-new world. If possible I will delete those other releases to prevent any issues.

News

This is the final patch (unless I receive feedback on any major bugs) for the initial release of Blue Depths. The next update will focus more on adding new, exciting content for Blue Depths. Along with bug fixes, 1.0.3 lays the groundwork for the upcoming new content. The next two major content updates will revolve around the same theme, expanding rivers to make them feel more alive. Keep an eye out for the next few weeks for the first release of the update, Roaring Rivers.

Bug Fixes & Technical Changes

  • Fixed a bug where players in creative or spectator mode would receive the sting effect when near the box jellies
  • The mobs (aside from the catfish) no longer disappear when you use a bucket on them
  • Laid the groundwork for a major mechanic that will be released in the upcoming Roaring Rivers update.
