Features

• Angler Fish :

Angler fish spawn in all Deep Oceans, they have unique pathfinding and will always prefer staying near the bottom of bodies of water, making them often found near the ocean depths.

-Angler fish have an emissive layer and custom particles

-Angler fish can be bucketed

-Angler fish cannot withstand the pressure of being on land and will promptly deflate when exposed to air

-When an Angler fish is fed shiny items it will grant the player with 5 minutes of night vision (these items are contained in a special tag, so they can be edited easily in mod-packs

-Angler fish drop themselves as an item and can be eaten for 5 seconds of night vision

• Tuna :

Tunas can be found swimming around in Cold Oceans and regular Oceans, both deep and normal. They are the first farmable fish and come with food items and new breeding mechanics.

-Tunas can be bred with fish from a custom tag, once bred they will lay a Tuna Egg, a new Armor Stand like entity that will hatch into a baby Tuna

-Tunas are too big to be bucketed, but don't worry, you can transport Tuna Eggs easily with a bucket

-Tunas drop multiple Tuna Chunks when killed, which can be cooked, eaten, or turned into a Tuna Sandwich

• Seahorse :

Seahorses are found in Warm Oceans and are the only fish capable of turning its head to look at you!

-Seahorses come in 6 different variants and when bucketed they display their color with a handy tooltip

-Seahorses are actually capable of clicking and growling, just like in real life

• Snail :

Snails can be found in Taigas and Old Growth Pine/Spruce Taigas and are quite packed with features

-Snails retreat in their shell when taking damage or when a non shifting player is nearby. When in their shell they are immune to melee damage lower than 12 and cannot move

-You can remove a Snail's Shell by shooting a projectile at the Snail while it's not inside its home, the shell can regrow with time

-Snail Shells have 4 main uses: they can be used to turn into bone meal, they can be used to craft Potted Sweet Berries, a new block that allows you to collect berries with style while also keeping you safe from their thorns, it can be used in conjunction with other ingredients to create Escargot and it can be used as a building material to make some fancy new blocks!

-When Snails get wet, they produce a Mucus Trail. This can be triggered by making them stand on wet sponges, mud or getting in contact with water (these blocks can be configured), right clicking them with a bucket of water or exposing them to rain

-Mucus slows down all mobs that aren't Snails and it can be collected to then be either cooked into slime or turned into Mucus Blocks a handy new redstone block

-Mucus Blocks slow down entities on contact and solidify when next to water, making players able to walk on them. The solidification of mucus spreads through Mucus Blocks in a circular manner

-With Phantom Membrane Mucus Blocks can be turned into Ghostly Mucus Blocks, which work the same way, but when not solidified can be walked through just fine and do not slow the player down

-When Snails are bred they both will lay a clutch of eggs to mimic how Snails are hermaphroditic in real life

• Hamster :

Hamsters can be found in Plains and Meadows and more commonly is Sunflower Fields. The Minecraft Sunflower has been replaced with a new one that now rotates with the sun and can be farmed for Sunflower Seeds.

-Sunflower Seeds can be roasted to then be eaten fast like dried kelp

-Hamsters spawn with 4 different variants and randomly look out for danger by standing on their back feet

-Hamsters can be tamed with Sunflower Seeds, once tamed they can be told to sit and follow like other pets

-Hamsters are very territorial and Hamsters tamed to the same player will try to kill each other

-Hamsters actively collect items and put them in their cheek pouches, once their inventory is full their cheeks will get visually larger

-Players can open their Tamed Hamsters' cheek pouch up and use it as portable storage

• Ant :

Ants are by far the biggest addition, they spawn in Savannas, Plains and biomes in the #forest tag packed inside tiny Anthill structures

-Ants have a whole biome dedicated to them called Ant Gardens, this biome is full of Fallen Leaves, Coarse Dirt, Anthills and Rotten Trees

-Ants spawn with randomized Speed, Health and Attack and are neutral, they all attack you if you anger one

-Ants work like Bees and can set their home in Anthills. They also collect resources from Dead Bushes and Tall Grass (configurable with a tag) and bring them back to their home.

-Anthills that have the resource level of 3 randomly turn blocks in a 3x3 radius below them into rotten versions of themselves, consuming all 3 of the resource levels. Logs become Rotten Logs and Dirt like blocks become Ant Mounds. Anthills come in 3 variants: Anthills, Rotten Log Anthills and Ant Farms.

-Rotten Logs have a new unique woodset not strong enough to craft signs and build boats, but able to be mined faster, you can also obtain a new block by clicking Rotten Planks with an axe, Cracked Rotten Planks, which produce scary creaky noises when walked on

-Ant Mounds are a new brushable block, when destroyed they anger nearby ants and don’t drop their loot, so make sure to brush it instead! They can be found in Ant Mounts, or they can be made by an Anthill, having different loot tables

-Fallen Leaves can be found in Ant Mounds and Ant Gardens and are a new decorative block for your fall themed builds

-Ant Pupae can also be found rarely in Ant Mounds, when clicked on the ground they spawn baby Tamed Ants

-Tamed Ants work like dogs, they attack any mob you attack and their abdomen can be colored with dyes! Adult Tamed Ants will target other adult Tamed Ants with a different colored abdomen, effectively making you able to set up ant wars

-Ant Farms can be crafted with Ant Pupae and are the Beehive alternative to regular Anthills, because they can be collected without silk touch and can be renewably made

-Ant Mounts are a new dungeon structure found in Ant Gardens. They have 4 possible variations and are FULL of Ants and Ant Mounds. The gameplay of the structure consists brushing Ant Mounds and Digging the Packed Mud to get to the other chambers, just be sure not to hit an Ant or break an Ant Mound/Anthill because Ants fight back! This structure has 4 main unique items to find: Ant Pupa, Crown Pottery Sherd, Spade Pottery Sherd and the Rot Music Disc
