About Ben's Sharks
From ModrinthA simplistic approach towards one of the ocean's most complex creatures.
### THIS MOD REQUIRES GECKOLIB
Ben's Sharks is a mod for both Forge and NeoForge that attempts to answer the question "What if sharks were added to Minecraft?"
This mod currently adds 26 New Mobs and several Noteworthy items, each with unique uses.

Info about this mod will be provided in the Wiki (W.I.P).
Disclaimer: Ben's Sharks does not encourage or condone with any form of Shark Hunting. It is worth noting that 1/3 of every shark species around the world is either endangered or flagged under protection. Sharks are a beautiful part of their respective ecosystems and must therefore be preserved.
As of version 1.2.0, the "Shark Fin" item has been completely removed, essentially eliminating any form of Shark Hunting through the use of this mod.
As of version 1.2.5, the "Shark Fin" item was re-added, but in the hands of the evil Illagers.
Don't try and kill any sharks to get this item as they don't drop it. It can only be obtained by looting Pillager Outposts and Woodland Mansions.
This mod is a solo project solely done by me, so expect there to be a lengthy gap between updates. Stay tuned.
