Rivers hold water at sea level, which means that they’ll run dry or frozen depending on altitude. Rivers can vary a lot in width and depth. In generally flat areas, rivers are usually around 10 blocks deep but in mountainous regions, rivers can reach over 30 blocks in depth which is comparable to deep oceans.

River in Minecraft
Rivers are a frequently occurring biome found all over the Overworld. Rivers can serve as borders between various other biomes, and usually lead to , although they can also form loops. They are filled with water up to sea level, though rivers may run dry in certain areas due to being at a higher than usual elevation. When generated between two high-elevation areas, such as mountains and hills, river biomes may pose a fall damage hazard, but are otherwise mostly harmless.Contents
