About Subaquatic

From Modrinth

Adds lots of ocean related things to 1.12.2! Including real ocean biomes, bug fixes, new mechanics, and more!

A mod that adds lots of ocean-related content, and fixes some bugs!

Dependencies: Fluidlogged API (required) and AssetMover (required on client)


Bug Fixes (as of this mod's latest version):

  • MC-1691 (Sprinting/falling on thin/small blocks uses the block below for the particles)
  • MC-8820 (Walking on thin/small blocks produces sounds from the blocks below them)
  • MC-118096 (Incorrect position of particles when using bone meal on grass block)
  • MC-129794 (Water particles are not biome-affected)
  • MC-130137 (Grass and mycelium don't decay underwater)

Big Features (as of this mod's latest version):

  • All ocean biomes from Update Aquatic!
  • Bubble columns (works in ANY Material.WATER fluid!)
  • Chest boats, ender chest boats, ender chest minecarts, crafting table boats, crafting table minecarts, and furnace boats!
  • "Fish", cod, salmon, pufferfish, tropical fish entities!
  • Glow lichen
  • Hanging roots & rooted dirt (generates instead of dirt under all properly coded trees)
  • Kelp, seagrass, sea pickles, and coral generation!
  • Mud and mud bricks
  • New villager type: Marine Biologist (see source code for trades)
  • Froglights (currently only obtainable through marine biologist trades)
  • Realistic fishing (fishing reels in actual fish entities instead of fish items! note that this mod also adds an enchantment that counteracts this)
  • Serves a library mod for other mods to add their own custom ocean biomes!
  • Smooth blocks (smooth stone, smooth sandstone, smooth red sandstone, smooth quartz, and smooth lapis lazuli)

Small Features (as of this mod's latest version):

  • Baby zombies burn in daylight
  • Beacon activation, deactivation, and ambient sounds
  • Bubble pop particle and sound
  • Bubble particles last longer
  • Bubble particles appear when chests are opened underwater, and appear during underwater explosions
  • C418 underwater ambient sounds and music
  • Cauldrons apply water physics to entities
  • Configurable biome blend radius size
  • Configurable biome water surface and fog colors
  • Faceless pumpkins from 1.13 (can be carved using shears)
  • Fish buckets (works with any Material.WATER bucket)
  • Gradual air replenishing mechanic from 1.13
  • Items and xp orbs float on water
  • Levers emit redstone dust particles while powered
  • Pumpkins can be placed without a block below
  • Toggleable enchantment glints for potions, xp bottles, and dragon's breath
  • Translucent water bottles
  • Translucent xp orbs
  • Water particles (splashes, bubbles, etc) apply water biome colors, and respect modded fluid colors
  • Vanilla's mushroom blocks, stems, and hyphae are craftable and silk touch-able
  • Vanilla water buckets now use the forge bucket renderer to be consistent with modded buckets

Planned Features (in order of priority):

  • More of the wild update's mangrove swamp content (frogs, tadpoles, etc)
  • Dolphins
  • Drowned
  • Tridents
  • Turtles
  • Shipwrecks
  • Buried treasure
  • Conduits
  • Phantoms
  • Banner map icons

Using this mod alongside Aqua Acrobatics is highly recommended for the best experience!

AssetMover can cause missing textures in certain cases. If you experience this, install CensoredASM to fix it!
