FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod stops kelp from generating in oceans. Its author describes kelp as a source of lag on servers and clients, and the only use they found for it was a small food boost that heals a half heart. Only the server needs the mod. Released under the MIT License, the code is public and the project has files for Fabric covering 1.19 – 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Kelp removed from oceans

    Kelp no longer generates in ocean biomes, leaving the seabed without the kelp growth that the mod targets.

  2. Lag reduction intent

    The author describes kelp as a source of performance problems, and removing it is the stated purpose of the mod.

  3. Public source code

    The source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project, so changes can be followed and reported.
