Rocket Squids

by fredtargaryen

Players who want a squid with more bite can add Rocket Squids, which introduces blundering, balletic megamolluscs that breathe fire and blast air.

What it does

Rocket Squids adds larger squid mobs with fire-breathing variants that fire at random and push air around them. Its behaviour is more involved than plain swimming, with several hidden interactions that players are encouraged to discover on their own. The project wiki documents the mobs in sections that grow as more is added, and the author plans to add further interactions over time.

World generation places conches and statues in the world, so the mod's features turn up while exploring rather than only in one dedicated biome. The mod depends on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with the latest Forge build at 3.1.7 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge build at 5.0.0 for 26.2, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so the source is open and public links exist for it and its issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Fire-breathing squids

    Larger squid mobs have fire-breathing counterparts that blast air around them at random intervals.

  2. Hidden interactions

    Several mobs respond to each other and to the player in ways that are not spelled out, so discovery is part of play.

  3. Conches and statues

    Conches and statues generate in the world as part of the mod's world generation.

  4. Documented on the wiki

    The project wiki collects information on the mobs in sections that expand as new content arrives.
