Fintastic adds fish to Minecraft Java Edition, with items, blocks and tools for keeping aquariums and raising fish.
What it does
Fintastic adds fish, aquarium keeping items and blocks, and related utilities for players who keep or farm fish. The mod is listed under the Mobs category and also covers adventure, decoration, food, utility and world generation. Its files target Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and both the server and every player need it, since it is a client and server mod. The source code is open under the MIT License.
