Just A Loach Fish

by MrBenjaroo

Just A Loach Fish adds loach fish that spawn in rivers, along with a loach that eats seagrass and items and then spews out what it has caught.

What it does

Loach fish appear in rivers and come in five variants, one of which is a specific breed called the Weather Loach. Each variant can be caught and kept. A loach can be fed seagrass, and it will also eat other items, after which it spews out the things it has caught. Killing a loach drops items, and the fish can be crafted using seagrass as an ingredient.

The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it on every side. Just A Loach Fish runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license, and the mod is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.2.0 for 1.20.1 from 2025-11-08, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.3.0 for 1.21.1 from 2026-07-22.

Key features

  1. Five loach variants

    Five loach variants spawn in rivers, including a specific breed called the Weather Loach.

  2. River spawning

    Loaches appear in river water, so players can find them while fishing or exploring waterways.

  3. Seagrass feeding

    A loach can be fed seagrass, and it will also eat other items placed in front of it.

  4. Caught item spewing

    A fed loach spews out the items it has caught, and killing one drops items as well.

  5. Seagrass crafting

    The loach fish recipe uses seagrass as an ingredient, so the fish can be made without finding one in the world.
