Water Enhanced
by lucasbrisch
Water Enhanced adds ocean resources, gear, aquatic creatures and water-based mechanics for Fabric players exploring the sea, with progression tied to water exploration.
What it does
Ocean biomes gain new resource generation, so exploring the sea yields materials that vanilla oceans do not provide. Custom tools and armor with their own properties are crafted from those materials, and an expanded crafting system organizes the new recipes.
A new aquatic entity drops custom loot, and new ocean creatures and a boss encounter add fights to the water. Progression is linked to ocean environments, so the new gear and entities reward players who travel the sea. The content is meant to feel native to vanilla Minecraft.
The mod runs on Fabric API, which is required, and is licensed under the MIT License as open source. Only 1.21.11 is covered, with the latest Fabric file 1.0.0 released on 2026-03-26. Servers and players both need the mod to run it, and the source code is public.
