What it does

The mod updates aquatic biomes with new blocks and a new mob. The parrotfish is a tropical fish that spawns in warm oceans, and it comes in nine variants. Feeding it coral drop or white sand is part of how it is kept around, and the author notes that eating one can be harmful to a player, so the fish is not treated as food.

Motley Fins is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, with files dated 2026-07-18 on the beta channel. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker, and the mod was first published on 2026-01-27.

Key features

  1. Parrotfish mob

    A tropical fish that spawns in warm ocean biomes and is added to the aquatic fauna.

  2. Nine color variants

    The parrotfish appears in nine variants, so the same species looks different across the ocean.

  3. Feeding with coral and sand

    Parrotfish accept coral drop and white sand as food, which ties the mob to the reef blocks the mod adds.

  4. Aquatic biome blocks

    New blocks join the warm ocean biomes, giving the mod's fish a reef setting to live in.
