Tropical Fish Collection
by Dockers310
Tropical Fish Collection keeps a record of every tropical fish pattern a player catches, so the player can see which of the 3072 variants are still missing.
What it does
Each time a tropical fish is caught with a bucket, its variant is recorded automatically, and a toast notification shows the colours of its pattern. Each singleplayer world and each server keeps its own separate collection, so progress made in one world does not appear in another. Press K to open the collection screen, where the key can be changed in the Controls settings.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it. It runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 and is released under the MIT License as open source. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and both must be installed alongside it. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.4, published on 2026-06-08, after a first release on 2026-05-20.
Key features
Full pattern catalogue
The collection lists all 3072 possible tropical fish patterns, so a player can see every variant and what remains to catch.
Grid collection screen
Caught fish appear in a grid that can be browsed, sorted, searched and exported, so a large collection stays manageable.
Automatic recording
Catching a tropical fish with a water bucket records its variant without any extra step from the player.
Progress tracking
Each single tropical fish variant is tracked as a separate entry, so partial progress is kept across sessions.
