by Cephelo

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.

Questions

Does Aquatic Breeding need to be installed on both sides?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Does Aquatic Breeding work with Farmer's Delight?

Yes. With Farmer's Delight installed, Calamari gets a unique cooking recipe and grants Nourishment 4.

Is Aquatic Breeding available for other loaders or versions?

Only NeoForge files for 1.21.1 are published, and the author says porting to other versions or loaders is unlikely.
