Reef Redux
by codyhuh
Reef Redux changes how coral reefs generate in the ocean, replacing the flat seabed coral patches with rocky outcrops.
What it does
Vanilla coral reef generation is replaced entirely: instead of flat stretches with coral formations rising straight out of the seabed, coral grows on rocky outcrops. Some outcrops contain caves, and others take unusual shapes such as arches. The mod is Forge only, needs both the server and every player to run it, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.2, with 1.3.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Rocky coral outcrops
Coral generates on rocky outcrops rising from the seabed rather than on flat stretches.
Caves inside outcrops
Some outcrops contain caves, which adds underwater spaces to explore beyond the reef surface.
Arch formations
Outcrops can take unique shapes such as arches, changing the look of the reefs across the ocean.

These outcrops sometimes contain caves and can have other unique generation, such as arches. Note that…
