About this Mod

Hungry Waters

Beware the waters... Piranhas have arrived!

Piranhas

Overview

This mod introduces a new fish entity: the piranha.
A school of piranhas will spawn randomly in either swamp biomes, or river biomes. Piranhas have a hunger bar which goes down over time, then they enter hunting mode and will attack anything near them to refill their hunger bar.

Features

  • Piranha custom entity
  • Piranha have a hunger bar, when it reaches zero, they will enter into hunting mode and start hunting anything alive nearby (including you)
  • Piranhas will fight back when attacked
  • Piranhas will only spawn in river or swamp water biomes.

Configuration

The mod includes a config file allowing you to tweak many things!

Datapack

Spawn frequency and school size can be customized via datapack, as these values are loaded from a biome modifier file.

Compatibility

Has native support for Nature's Spirit as well as Biomes O' Plenty, and most likely any other biome mod (using common tags).
