Siren's Aquariums
by tillasiren
Siren's Aquariums adds a way to build aquarium tanks in Minecraft, so that players can keep fish and axolotls in a home display.
What it does
The mod is built for players who want to keep fish and axolotls in an aquarium of their own design. Its author made it because the base game offers no aquarium blocks, and the author found the existing options limited, since full glass blocks and pane-style tanks leave seams that are hard to waterlog on both sides. The mod provides tank parts that can be assembled into a complete tank with water inside, and the author explains the crafting route in the text: glass is shaped at a stonecutter, and the resulting pieces combine into a tank.
Siren's Aquariums is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.1.0, released on 2024-06-05. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author has stated that updates are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
Key features
Aquarium tank parts
A starting set of tank parts that can be combined into custom tank shapes, rather than only fixed full-block tanks.
Waterlogged tank interiors
Tank pieces hold water on both sides of the glass, so the inside of a tank stays filled.
Stonecutter glass shaping
Glass is cut into tank shapes at a stonecutter, which makes the parts crafted from ordinary glass.
Axolotl and fish housing
Built tanks give axolotls and fish a space to live in a contained display inside a player's base.

Use cases
Home aquariums
A player builds a display tank in a house or base and keeps fish or axolotls in it.

Builders combine parts into shapes the fixed tank blocks do not offer.
Who it’s for: Players who build in survival or creative worlds and want to keep fish or axolotls in a display tank on a Forge 1.20.1 installation.
How it compares
Phax Sirens is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that shares the client and server environment with this mod, but it is released under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 and is not open source. Pufferz is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source, so it can be run in the same setup. Alarms & Sirens works on either side, and neither side needs it, unlike Siren's Aquariums, which must be on both the server and every player's client.

What the author says
As an initial disclaimer this mod was created and is updated using Mcreator, and will continue to be so for the forseeable future. I made it because I wanted it and could not find it. Have you ever wanted to build an aquarium in your Minecraft home for the pleasure of keeping those lovely little fishies in your home?…
