BetterVannilaFishes

Tired of the same old generic fish swimming in Minecraft's oceans? BetterVannilaFishes is a complete overhaul of underwater life, designed to bring a new level of realism, depth, and excitement to your aquatic explorations.

This mod removes the default vanilla fish (Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish, and etc) from world generation, replacing them with a carefully crafted roster of new, realistic species, each with unique behaviors, uses, and stunning visuals.

🌟 What Does This Mod Add? 🌟

🎣 New Marine Life & Advanced AI: Discover a new underwater world teeming with life:

Atlantic Cod & Pacific Cod: The classic cod, now with distinct regional variants.

Haddock: A new, valuable bottom-dwelling fish.

Pacific Salmon: Witness the iconic salmon in its natural habitat.

Nautilus: A prehistoric wonder of the deep.

Yellowfin Puffer & Obscure Puffer: Beautiful but deadly, handle with care!

All creatures are brought to life with a custom, advanced swimming and turning system, making their movements fluid, realistic, and a joy to watch. No more robotic, blocky turns!

⚖️ Size Variation & Trophies: Not all fish are created equal! Cod and Salmon now spawn in a range of different sizes, from small catches to trophy-worthy giants. Celebrate your biggest catch by crafting their unique taxidermy mounts—beautiful decorative blocks that display your prized fish, complete with their specific size!

⚔️ Dangerous New Tools: The new pufferfish are more than just a source of poison. Craft their drops into the Enchanted Pufferfish, a unique weapon imbued with a special enchantment that has a chance to defeat any powerful undead.

🐚 Tameable Nautilus & Powerful Buffs: The Nautilus is no longer just a conduit ingredient. You can now tame these ancient creatures! Once tamed, they will follow you and provide a strong, area-of-effect Sage of the Sea buff to nearby players, granting benefits like Water Breathing, Haste and immune of Fatigue. They are the ultimate aquatic companion for any serious ocean explorer.
