I've been exploring a bunch of oceans, and have found an area with a large number of underwater ruins. Is there anything useful that can be done with this large area?
- Do drowned spawn more frequently in ruins? (They seem to be, but that could be observer bias on my part) [This would mean it would be a good spot for a drowned farm for instance]
- Do any other mobs spawn more frequently in/around ruins?
Note: I have read the Wiki for drowned and ocean ruins, and it doesn't say anything either way. And yes I"m aware that they contain treasure. I mean once the ruin has been looted is there anything useful to do with it?
Best Answer
Here are some of the useful features of underwater ruins:
They contain loot chests.
They often contain semi-rare materials like prismarine, sea lanterns, and magma blocks.
If you're looking for monsters to hunt, ruins usually spawn with a few drowned in them.
In Bedrock Edition only, you get the "Atlantis?" achievement for finding an underwater ruin.
