Ocean Monuments too common

Do you have the world seed and coordinates?

We do not have enough information to reproduce this issue.

Please provide the following information about the world you are playing in as text. Attaching a screenshot showing them is not enough.

• World Type:

  • "Default" if you have not chosen one when creating the world.

  • For "Superflat": Additionally provide the generation preset.

  • For "Buffet": Additionally provide the generator type and biome you have selected.

• Additional generation settings (in case you changed them): E.g. "Generate Structures", "Bonus Chest", ...

• Seed: Can be obtained by using the /seed command and clicking on the message in chat

• Coordinates: Can be copied to clipboard by pressing F3 + C

_{This issue is being temporarily closed as Awaiting Response. Once the requested information has been delivered, the report will be reopened automatically.}

All the world generation settings have not been changed, the seed is -815615714994695248 and if you are at this position and have your render distance set high enough: 1244 100 460, you can see two monuments.

I experienced something similar in the previous snapshots, 21w39a and 21w40a. Was unsure if it was a bug or if I just got a lucky seed.

World Type: Default

Seed: -3584105611421341641

The place where I specifically noticed this was around -415 63 560

There are three surrounding Ocean Monuments:

1. -447 63 704

2. -639 63 624

3. -256 63 256

A little bit further away I found another -864 63 1280

Found within a few minutes of looking in each of these two worlds in 21w44a:

World seed: 185740704

Monuments at:

• 1758, -334

• 2242, -308

• 2656, -274

Edit: Searched this world a bit more using the grid described below, and found two more. Looks like, as mentioned below, things stopping the spawning include biome change, and depth of ocean available, but that's it.

• 2845, -911

• 3393, -1344

World seed: -480661120

Monuments at:

• 94, -1809

• 64, -2352

• 206, -2960

• 128, -3263

• 223, -3758

• 832, -2449

• 736, -1744

• 625. -1280

• 1214, -1889

• 1152, -2320

They appear to be generating in a rough grid along X/Z axes; as long as the biome remains an ocean, and it is deep enough for the structure to generate, you get one roughly every 500 - 600 blocks, with a bit of noise variations one way or the other. At least that's what it looks like.

I had found the first five monuments in the second world seed listed above in my original casual browsing of the seed - I then went back and did a grid approach, and found the rest of them simply by flying one of the cardinal directions from an existing monument.

There is no substantiation that this is a bug since there are no indications on how this is different from the latest released version.
