Is there a Kraken in Minecraft?
No. There is no Kraken in vanilla Minecraft, on Java or Bedrock Edition. No official update has added a giant squid boss, and there is no ocean temple or dimension that contains one. If you have seen a Kraken in a video or on a server, it came from a mod, a data pack, a custom map or a Marketplace add-on.
What lives in Minecraft's oceans
- Squid and glow squid: passive mobs that drop ink sacs and glow ink sacs. They are the closest thing to a Kraken in the base game.
- Guardians and the Elder Guardian: found in ocean monuments. Three Elder Guardians guard each monument, inflict Mining Fatigue and act as the de facto ocean bosses.
- Drowned: underwater zombies that can carry tridents.
- Other sea life: dolphins, turtles, axolotls, several fish species and pufferfish.
How to get a Kraken anyway
On Java Edition, look for a reputable mod that adds sea monsters and install it with a mod loader such as Forge or Fabric. On Bedrock, check the Marketplace or trusted add-on sites. Download mods only from well-known sources, and back up your world before adding them.
