About the Ocean Ruin Finder
Ocean ruins are crumbling stone brick and sandstone structures on the ocean floor. They come in cold-ocean stone brick and warm-ocean sandstone versions, small and large, and sometimes in groups. Their chests can hold buried treasure maps, and since 1.20 they hide suspicious sand and gravel full of pottery sherds and sniffer eggs. An ocean ruin finder shows where they are.

- Exact coordinates: dive straight down
- Copy and go: a ready /tp command for each ruin
