Floppy
by aqpe
Floppy makes fish flop across land toward the nearest water source, and changes how other fish-like mobs behave.
What it does
Fish affected by Floppy leave their spot and hop toward the closest water source they can reach. The behavior is applied through velocity, so the movement looks like a flop rather than a teleport. The author describes the mod as pretty simple, and it covers one behavior rather than a set of features.
Floppy runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 across 11 release versions. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, and the author asks for issues to be reported on the issue tracker.
Key features
Flopping toward water
Fish hop across the ground to reach the closest water source instead of staying stranded.
Velocity-based movement
The hop uses velocity, so each flop carries the fish toward the water in a visible arc.
Fish-like mob behavior
Other fish-like mobs that use the AbstractFish class can share the same behavior, and the author notes compatibility with most mods.

Floppy ===================== #### The mod that makes your fish flop their way to the water. This is a pretty simple mod. It adds velocity on each flop that brings it to the closest water source. It does not change the behavior of other fish like mobs (eg. Guardians). It should be compatible with all most mods. If not…
