Mbembe

by Arathain

Mbembe adds a tall, dinosaur-like river reptile to Fabric and Quilt worlds, along with a fishing blessing tied to a heart item.

What it does

The mbembe is a rare mob that spawns in rivers, with ambient spawning set along stony shores and beaches. It attacks only players who have provoked it, and it deals more damage to entities standing in rivers. Its drops include meat when killed, and it can be bred with melons.

Giving the Heart of the Sea to a player grants Mokele's Blessing, which improves the loot a player catches while fishing. Naming a mob with a name tag produces some side effects. Spawning settings can be changed through a config file, and the mod supports ModMenu for opening that config in game.

Installation needs Geckolib on either loader. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds cover Minecraft 1.18.1 – 1.19.2 for Fabric and Quilt, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Rare river reptile

    A tall reptile mob seldom appears in rivers, where it stands out among the local wildlife.

  2. Provoked attacks only

    The creature stays passive unless a player provokes it, and only then does it attack.

  3. Fishing blessing

    Giving the Heart of the Sea grants Mokele's Blessing, which raises the quality of loot caught while fishing.

  4. Configurable spawning

    Spawn rates and locations can be adjusted in a config file, and ModMenu can open the settings.

Use cases

Shoreline encounters

Ambient spawning along stony shores and beaches lets exploration routes meet the creature without a dedicated structure.

Fishing progression

Players who build a fishing setup can pursue the blessing from the Heart of the Sea for better catches.

Who it’s for: Players who want an unusual cryptid in their adventure worlds, and server owners who want to tune how often it appears. The mod suits both single-player and multiplayer games on Fabric or Quilt.

Yes. Spawning settings are configured through a config file, and ModMenu supports opening it from the game.
