The Ocean has become a very infamous biome. It's flat, it doesn't have very many interesting features, and it's HUMONGUS. But actually, the only real problem I have with the Ocean is that it's not very interesting to cross. I have two ideas that could make this better:
1. Add a hostile mob. This mob could destroy boats, and you could see the boat crack as it gets hit. Boats would now take damage, and you could repair them just like any other tool or armor piece. It doesn't really matter what the mob is, could be sharks, or krakens, or pirates, really anything.
2. Add storms. This could result in giant waves, whirlpools, and lots of other things that you would have to deal with when you cross the ocean when there's a storm out.
I think this would make the Ocean biome much more interesting, and not quite so useless anymore.
I think to make waves, water blocks would have to spawn and dissapear which would make a lot of lag for some people.
However, i would like to see someone like sethbling make a wave using spawners!
