Aquatic Breeding
by Cephelo
Aquatic Breeding lets fish and squid breed, both by hand and automatically, with Fish Flakes, buckets and live prey.
What it does
Squids and fish can be bred by hand, using buckets of fish or Fish Flakes, or automatically once they hunt and eat. Squids hunt live prey such as Cod, Salmon and Tropical Fish and consume them whole, and fish search the ground for dropped Fish Flakes before entering love mode. Fish lay Fish Eggs that hatch into one to three fish of the same kind. Axolotls have a 50 percent chance to enter love mode on their own after killing a Tropical Fish.
Tropical Fish inherit colors and patterns from their parents, so some mutation is possible, and the mod makes it feasible to collect many of the 3,072 Tropical Fish variants. Glow Squids are included. Squids and Glow Squids drop tentacles that can be cooked and eaten or traded. Cooked Tentacles combine with Cooked Squid Eggs and some wheat to make Calamari, a supreme food item that grants Luck III for 4 minutes. Installed alongside Farmer's Delight, Calamari gets its own cooking recipe and gives Nourishment 4. Glow Ink Sacs and Ink Sacs brew Glowing Blindness and Night Vision potions, and Squid Eggs can be used in Water Breathing potions.
