THE ERROR
So I was exploring this warm ocean biome when suddenly I came across a huge patch of terracotta at the bottom of the ocean. I checked the F3 menu and it appears this is an underwater badlands biome.
What I expected to happen was...
The ocean would be all sand at the bottom and be a warm ocean.
What instead happened was...
There was a medium-sized appendage of hardened clay extending from the coastal badlands biome a few dozen blocks into the warm ocean. This region is considered to be an underwater badlands.
