It's just a small idea I thought I might throw out there. Waves that affect boats (and maybe players that are more frequent in ocean than it is for lakes then ponds, and small areas none. Also if clear weather waves are none-minimum, if raining more rough waves, and if storming (lightning and rain) waves are choppy or less. So if in an ocean biome when storming, you might want to find an island or you might not go far. Of course it might have to be toned down if it is to such an extent that players can't go anyware if storming or in the ocean-or both.
