Tidal Overhaul
by Noribelle
Tidal Overhaul, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds titanium ore, armor and tools, bamboo fishing gear and aquatic content to the ocean biomes.
What it does
The mod expands the oceans with new resources, tools and mechanics meant to fit vanilla survival and exploration. Early in the game a player can find a mid-tier metal, titanium, and craft armor and tools from it. Bamboo fishing rods and bamboo spears give a player gear before metalwork is available, and some items carry effects tied to frozen waters, including chilling enchantments and potions.
Players fishing, fighting or moving through the sea meet new challenges and aquatic life, and the mod gives them new ways to cross the depths. Geckolib is required as a dependency and must be installed alongside Tidal Overhaul. The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the work in the public domain and is not open source.
Key features
Titanium ore and ingots
Titanium ore can be mined and smelted into ingots, forming a mid-tier metal for crafting.

A full armor set and a tool set are crafted from titanium, covering the common combat and mining needs.
Bamboo fishing rod and spear
Bamboo gear is available early, letting a player fish and fight before reaching the metal stage.
Chilling enchantments and potions
