ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Seaborn are aquatic creatures that spread from the ocean into the Overworld. Players defeat them, collect the tissue and materials they drop, and craft equipment that draws on ocean power. The mod also adds edible Seaborn meat, with a penalty for eating it without preparing it properly, along with pets, nethersea blocks and environment for the sea themes, and a Fountain of Ecology.

Seaborn evolve over time. As they evolve they gain more health, stronger attacks, new skills and larger groups, so the threat grows unless it is answered. The mod requires Geckolib, and Patchouli is optional. Caerula Arbor runs on client and server and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only as open source, with source code published. Its files target 1.20.1 alone, with the latest build, 0.12.7.2, dated 2026-10-08.

Questions

Does Caerula Arbor need Geckolib?

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Caerula Arbor on Forge for 1.20.1.

Does the mod have to be installed on the server?

Yes. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.

Can the mod cause performance problems?

The author notes that many particles may cause lag, and reducing them can help. Some biomes from Hybrid Aquatic may also disappear from the world.

What the author says

Seaborn, as the name suggests, is a powerful species from the ocean. Unfortunately, now they tend to invade the Land, swallow all the livings and occupy the Overworld.
