Nautilus+ | Better Nautilus

Nautilus spawns with randomized health, speed, dash distance and attack damage, and these values vary between individuals. Breeding follows the pattern of horse breeding: each offspring's values come from both parents, adjusted by a random factor, so repeated selective breeding slowly yields stronger nautiluses. A configurable bounds system and a configurable variance value let server owners set how hard it is to reach high stats. An integrated HUD shows a nautilus's traits, and the dash damage dealt to a rider is counted in the stat.

The taming, riding and breeding behavior of the vanilla mob still works as before. Three optional systems can be turned on or off in the config: nautilus enchantments, craftable armor and trait breeding. Nautilus Protection, Nautilus Power and Nautilus Swiftness are the three enchantments, and drowning is covered by the random damage handled in the mod. Craftable armor comes in four tiers from Copper through Diamond, crafted at a table with 8 ingots and a nautilus shell. Nautilus+ requires no other mod, and it is published for 1.21.11 only, for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, under the Apache License 2.0 and not open source.
