Deeper Ocean, as the name suggests, is a mod that makes oceans almost three times deeper than they are. The mod changes the terrain generation and makes oceans anywhere from Y level 15 to Y level -25 deep. This is a great support mod for other ocean horror mods since new, deadly creatures spawning deep in the ocean can be daunting and scary for players.

This mod has over 400,000 downloads from CurseForge and is compatible with Forge or Fabric 1.20.1 game versions.

2) Aquamirae

Because of the depth this mod offers, players can completely immerse themselves in it and experience the thrill of oceans being more terrifying and challenging.

This mod is a highly popular mod with over 1,800,000 downloads from the Modrinth website. It is compatible with the Fabric 1.20.1 game version.

Thalassophobia is also a dangerous ocean mod that adds horrific creatures to Minecraft.

This mod has over 300,000 downloads from the CurseForge website and is compatible with the Forge 1.20.1 game version.

4) Dangers in the Darkness
