Drowned Null

SORRY FOR BAD ENGLISH

After the relase of the Update Aquatic some people were really disappointed with the new hostile mob, the Drowned. I understand that. We all waited on something like The Monster of the Ocean Depths (Mob A), so it could make the new oceans much more dangerous places than the old ones. But the Drowned was just a new, boring zombie variant which wasn't actually hard to deal with. But i'm afraid that the Drowned isn't the only danger that awaits us in the new oceans. There is something hidden... and I'm afraid that I found it.

It all begun at the relase day of the 1.13. I wanted to play on some Creative server so I could build an oceanarium, but unfortunately, no servers worked on this new version yet. So I decided to start a new singleplayer survival world, where I would be focused on getting the Conduit and building an underwater base. After my world loaded, I spawned on a beach on an island. The island was kinda small, but there were a lot of trees and one shipwreck on the beach. I couldn't find any caves, but I thought it still was a good spawn anyways.

''I will not stay long on this island. I'll just get some wood and food and build a temporary shelter inside a ship. Tomorrow, I shall craft a boat and look out for another land'' - i thought.

Next minutes of the game went without a problem. I've collected some wood to make a crafting table and basic tools. I didn't find any sheeps on the island, so I haven't crafted a bed and when the night has came, I decided to go mining.

After a short time, i've found a reasonable amount of iron ores and some coal to smelt it. I was suprised with such big amount of resources, while being so close to the surface, so I decided to continue mining. Just few seconds after, I felt into the water and, as quick as I could, got into the hole I came from in order to regenerate my oxygen bar.

So, it looks like I found one of those water-filled caves. I never liked this feature. All those caves seemed pretty boring and it was very hard to find an ore inside of them, so there was no real reason to explore them. But I still wanted to check out the sea above me, because 1.13 added a LOT of underwater structures. For me, there was never too much free loot.

The cave wasn't long, but my oxygen bar went very low, so after getting out of the ravine I quickly headed to the surface and regenerated the bar. After doing this, I looked around me, hoping to find some structures.

What a suprise. An ocean monument.

However, this suprice made me kinda sad. I was not prepared to fight the Guardians. I've just started the game and didn't have important stuff like a trident or a potion of water breathing, so wandering into a monument didn't really make sense.

But... there were no Guardians?

I've dived into water and had a tour around the monument. No Guardians. Absolutely. It looked like even the Elders are gone, cause I didn't get this jumpscare thing while getting close to the temple.

Weird. I played on the Normal Mode. Was it a glitch?

I disliked getting profit from glitches like this, because it was just not fair. Fighting with the Guardians was kinda challenging (even though it was just for a bunch of sponges and gold), but I liked that. I liked everything that was challenging, because it makes the game less boring. But I decided to get use of this situation. If I wanted to build an underwater base, I needed prismarine blocks for a Conduit and some sponges. The ocean monuments are pretty rare and there was a chance that I will never see another one. So, I took a pickaxe, regenerated my oxygen bar fully and dived into the water.

TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW
