About this Mod
This mod transforms the Minecraft survival experience by giving the player a moisture bar, just like a fish!
Features:
A visible moisture bar that slowly depletes while on land.
When your moisture runs out, you begin to take damage.
Stay hydrated by swimming, standing in rain, or touching water.
No air bubbles HUD — mining speed and movement in water are as fast as on land.
Spawn near water on world creation and respawn without a bed.
Configurable depletion speed, damage interval, and more via the generated config file.
Great for:
Ocean survival challenges
Roleplay as a merfolk, aquatic creature, or stranded fish
Custom hardcore maps where water is your lifeline

FishPlayer server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is FishPlayer compatible with forge?
FishPlayer officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with FishPlayer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if FishPlayer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
