FOREWORD

This encyclopedia of all things Aquatic is a celebration of the amazing underwater world of Minecraft. The ocean has grown from its early incarnation as a dark expanse populated only by squid to an amazing world of dolphins, coral reefs, treasure, ships, ruins, and more. (If, like many players, you’ve been a landlubbing Minecrafter, this encyclopedia will give you the details you need to know to conquer the oceans. Plus, it is also an essential read for planning any water world challenges in Minecraft!)

While this book is written for the Java Edition of Minecraft (Java Edition 1.13/1.14), it does include references to elements that are different in the Bedrock Edition. The notation JE is used when a feature is found (currently, as of this writing) in the Java Edition of Minecraft. Similarly, the notation BE indicates a feature found only in the Bedrock Edition. However, as the game develops, the Bedrock Edition and Java Edition features are growing more and more in sync, and the bulk of the game features are identical in both versions.
