Crabulous Addition
by zach5809
Crabulous Addition is a Forge food and mob mod for 1.20.1 that brings crabs, crab dishes and crab-themed gear into the world.
What it does
Crabs appear as a mob that scuttles across sandy beaches, rocky caves and underwater reefs, adding wildlife to coastal and ocean areas. Players can find Blue Crabs and King Crabs while exploring the seas, and fishing gains new mechanics for crabbing trips that bring back crab catches.
Crab meat can be cooked into dishes such as crab legs and crab cakes, and the mod adds beachside barbecue pits for grilling fresh catches. Crafting recipes turn crab materials into crab-themed armor, weapons and decorative items. Underwater builds with coral reefs and fish schools are part of the coastal theme.
The mod is built for Forge only and targets Minecraft 1.20.1, with the 1.0.0 file published on 2024-04-11. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it installed, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
