What it does

The mod adds 26 new mobs modeled on sharks, along with several items that each have their own use. Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside it. Its wiki is still a work in progress.

The mod is built around the question of what sharks would look like in Minecraft, and it takes a simplified approach to one of the ocean's most complex creatures. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.

The Shark Fin item was removed for a period and later returned only as loot carried by Illagers. It is not dropped by sharks and is found in pillager structures and mansions instead. Development is a solo effort, so updates may arrive slowly.
