About the Ocean Monument Finder
Ocean monuments, also called ocean temples or water temples, are huge prismarine buildings on the floor of deep oceans. They’re guarded by guardians and three elder guardians, and they hold eight gold blocks and lots of wet sponges. From a boat you can only see them in clear water nearby, so an ocean monument finder saves a lot of sailing.
What you get on this page:
- Closest monuments first: the 12 nearest monuments to spawn or any X and Z
- Exact X and Z: sail straight to the monument
- Copy and go: a ready /tp command for each one
- Ocean view: see the deep ocean around each monument on the seed map
How to Use the Ocean Monument Finder
Step 1: Enter Your Seed

Step 2: Pick Your Version
Choose Java and the version that generated your oceans. Monuments exist since 1.8, and oceans changed in 1.13 and 1.18.
Step 3: Find Monuments
Leave Search from blank to search around spawn, or type any X and Z, then press Find ocean monuments.
Step 4: Sail There
Take a boat to the X and Z. Bring Water Breathing potions, Respiration, and Depth Strider to explore underwater.

Ocean Monument Finder Java
The finder supports Java 1.8 to the latest release, including Large Biomes worlds.
Bedrock Ocean Monument Finder
Bedrock places structures with its own rules, so Java positions won’t match. Use an ocean explorer map or /locate on Bedrock.
What Is the Easiest Way to Find an Ocean Monument?
For Java, use this finder with your seed. Without a seed, buy an ocean explorer map from a cartographer villager, or sail across deep ocean at night with Night Vision and look for sea lanterns.
Tips for Raiding a Monument
- Drink Water Breathing and Night Vision potions.
- Kill the three elder guardians to remove Mining Fatigue.
- Use sponges and sand to drain rooms if you want to build a guardian farm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an ocean monument the same as an ocean temple?
Yes. Players also call it an ocean temple or a water temple.
How many gold blocks are in an ocean monument?
Eight, hidden inside the treasure room in the middle.
Does the ocean monument finder work on Bedrock?
Not for exact positions. Use explorer maps or /locate on Bedrock.
Why can’t I see the monument from the surface?
Monuments sit deep, and ocean water limits how far you can see. Use Night Vision or go there by coordinates.
Final Thoughts
An ocean monument finder takes you straight to the sponges and gold. Paste your seed, find the closest monument, and dive in with Water Breathing and Night Vision.
