Blåhaj
by LeonNikolai
Blåhaj adds a plushie of the IKEA shark to the game, craftable in several colors, along with a head, a bed and a datapack for worlds that cannot install mods.
What it does
Players can craft Blåhaj plushies and dye them, and can craft other variants from a plushie. A plushie can be placed as a block, and a Blåhaj head can be placed as a decorative block. Blåhaj beds are also placeable, and breaking one returns the bed itself. The shark can be dyed, so a build or a shelf can use several shades.
Blåhaj is a server required mod, and only the server needs it; players may add it on the client to see the content. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the Blåhaj datapack is also available for servers that do not run mods. The mod targets 1.21.3 only, with the latest file 1.4+mod for 1.21.3 dated 2024-11-23. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Craftable plushies
The plushie can be crafted and dyed, so players can produce a set of colored sharks.
Head and bed blocks
A Blåhaj head and a Blåhaj bed can be placed, with the bed dropping itself when broken.
Other variants from a plushie
Crafting from one plushie yields other variants, which extends the set without extra materials.
