Aures - Sea Dwellers
by BlackAures
Under the sea, Aures - Sea Dwellers adds underwater villages with sea traders, 60+ structures and 30+ items for exploring the ocean floor.
What it does
Underwater villages spawn with sea traders, a fish-like trader type in the mod's own style. Twelve sea traders each offer unique goods, and five new kinds of food are added. Structures fill empty stretches of ocean, and ten quests give a long route through the content without requiring full exploration of the map first. The style follows vanilla, keeping balance close to the original game.
Installation requires GeckoLib, which the mod depends on for its animations. Above version 3.0.0 on Minecraft 1.18 and newer, that dependency is needed. Aures - Sea Dwellers runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge and NeoForge files exist for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is released under All rights reserved. The mod is not open source.
Animations do not display correctly when shaders are active. The author notes that the Disable Entity Shadows option in shader settings can be changed to avoid problems with the mob models. Configuration recommendations are included in the author text for players who want to tune spawn and trade behavior.
