What it does

Caught fish in this mod come in several themed kinds. BOOMFISH is modeled on the creeper and explodes when touched. FLOPPER and SLURPFISH take their inspiration from a battle-royale game. CATFISH is a swamp-exclusive fish, and GAR, also found in swamps, is a long snake-like fish that is fast and hostile. Cooked fish restore more food than raw ones, and the glowing blue fish restores health rather than hunger.

The ELECTRIC EEL strikes nearby players with lightning, while the ANGLER FISH is dark and hostile in the depths. BATFISH and STINGRAY are calmer, and the URCHIN sits on the sea floor with spikes that hurt anyone who touches it. KOI FISH is one of the rarest, spawning only in cherry and lush caves. Installation needs Geckolib, and the mod is published for NeoForge across 3 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, under All rights reserved; it is not open source.
