Working?
Tested and confirmed working in 1.22.7!
Please update!
Hey, i'm currently working on a framework that includes entity behaviors and aitasks to allow for more complete and complex ocean life, both on the floor and in the water.
I was wondering if that is something you would be interested in using and trying out for this mod or future projects in the future.
hey I am trying this mod out on my server and at the part where it auto downloads the new mods for the client I get this:
"Checking angler@1.0.05... No such version. Ask the mod author to upload this version to moddb"
I assume it is an issue with the game recognizing the version number properly?
bintoss Sorry about that, I threw that patch together real quick just to allow for compatability with Biomes, with the version Ive been working on, this will be fixed (obv) as well as spawn rates spawn height, animation update for the Blacksea Devil as well as a texture update and add two more deep bois. Thankyou for the feedback though, it is always appreciated <3
edit: Oh and i fixed the patch so its not directly in the attributes anymore but instead in its own file.
The leading zeroes in the version violate Semantic Versioning and are causing versionchecker to be unable to check the mod for new versions. The game's semver parser warns about the issue and guesses the intended version.

Luckily, this doesn't crash the game, but it's still annoying when searching the logs for errors.
Thank you! It’s an excellent and atmospheric mod, it brings more life to the ocean depths. I’m looking forward to future updates, since the seas at the moment aren’t very interesting and feel rather empty.
Hydromancerx XD yeah when I was testing it having a separate patch seemed to not do anything, so I just put it directly into the attributes. A bit odd it didnt do anything since Draconis works that way but whatever it works.
Heres a sneak peak at the deep boi Im currently working on. I just want to see what you guys think it is it currently doesnt have texture yet.
Thank you! I was a bit confused when i couldn't find the patch. But looks like you included in the creatures file itself rather than a seperate patch file.
"(mostly)" :( adding this mod to make my sea journeys this much worse
Hydromancerx You wont be disappointed with v1.0.1
BluntTongs Thank you! Its amazing to this much support :D
dynamiczbee Thank you for checking, I want to test on my end before posting that it is ready for 1.21.5, Im happy you like it so far!
Please make giant squid too! I know they don't glow but still would be cool!
Love it!!
Two points:
First, this works perfectly fine for me in 1.21.5 (at least loading in and having them spawn naturally)
Second, this is incredible and I cannot wait for you to add more creatures. My mods create insanely deep oceans so paddling at night and seeing these guys is absolutely incredible.
Maltiez Sure thing
GodzillaFan_13 >:) oh there will be squids alright
OGTitus XD I hear you, I will work on that
OGTitus I installed on 1.20.5 seems to be working fine
PLZ UPDATE
edit= THANK YOU SO MUCH
i would absolutely adore it if you added squids
Can you please add more detailed description of what mod actually does
Hydromancerx Noted i will add that to my to do list :)
DecaByte That mod actually inspired me to make this on XD
Please add biomes mod support!
Thanks!
Looking forward to this mod. I have installed Something In The Water mod for the glowing jellyfish. Like to see more life in the oceans & I think some glowing creatures will make sailing at night more interusting.
This is still a work in progress as of November 16th, 2025.
TO DO;
Fix Death animation
Make the angler emit light
Add more deep bois - Next will be Bloodbelly Comb Jelly
Update for Newer Versions
Compatablity with Biomes mod
