About this Mod

REQUIRES GECKOLIB MOD

Compatible with JEI

This mod adds a loach fish. There are 5 variants. The specific breed of Loach in this case is a Dojo Loach.

Please consider downloading this mod if you like loach fish too

The loaches spawn with variants of their own kind in a group of 3-5 in the same spawning pattern where fish spawn.

You can bucket up loaches. These buckets are sold by Wandering Traders.

You can feed them now! With fish food!
If you don't feed them they'll feed themselves by eating all your seagrass.

Oh, and killing a loach drops V V V

Spoiler

absolutely nothing.

I recommend just using this in a modpack, its boring on its own.
