Simple Mermaid Tails
by MakoModDev
Simple Mermaid Tails lets players pick a mermaid tail color from a settings screen that opens when the world loads, with a few underwater effects attached to the choice.
What it does
The mod's main feature is a set of selectable mermaid tails. Each tail is a color option, and the chosen one is the look a player takes into the world. The author describes the tails as a renamed version of the tails in another mod, with its powers, items and other extras removed, so the mod covers only the tail choice and its effects.
The configuration screen offers a color selection and a few toggles. A chosen tail can carry positive status effects, a speed boost while swimming, and an automatic transformation. Some of these toggles are noted by the author as not yet working as expected, and additional effects are listed as planned for a later release.
The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Builds cover the game versions 1.21.8 – 26.1 across five release versions, with the latest Fabric file 1.0.2 for 1.21.11 and the latest NeoForge file 1.0.2 for 26.1. Both sides need it, so servers and players must run the same build.
