Barracuda
by Waidelos
Barracuda adds underwater biomes, marine creatures and ocean quests to Minecraft, and it needs Geckolib to run.
What it does
The mod adds underwater biomes such as coral reefs, sunken ships and underwater caves for players to explore. Each area is meant to be reached by diving, so the ocean becomes a place to travel rather than a backdrop. Barracuda also adds magical elements, including underwater kingdoms and ancient artifacts, that give exploration a fantasy setting.
New marine creatures range from peaceful fish to dangerous predators, and each one follows its own behavior and interaction rules. New resources and items are crafted from materials gathered in underwater worlds, which opens up a separate branch of crafting for survival play. Quests and missions tied to ocean exploration give players a reason to visit the new areas and meet the creatures.
Barracuda is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20.4, and Geckolib is required. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The source code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the mod is open source.
