About this Mod
Apex Waters
The Great White is lurking...
Features
- Custom Great White Shark entity that naturally spawns across all ocean biomes (except frozen)
- Dynamic hunger system — hunger initializes at a random level and depletes over time, triggering a deadly hunting mode when it hits zero
- Retaliates when attacked — don't pick a fight you can't finish
- Blood scent mechanic — the shark becomes aggressive when a nearby player is low on health
Configuration
A built-in config file lets you fine-tune the experience to your liking — adjust HP, damage, whether the shark should target players in boats, and much more.
Compatibility
