About this Mod

This Fabric Mod adds a Parrot Fish to the Game that can eat dead Corals (or dead Coral Fans) either directly in the world or when feed to by a Player.
After a shot time they produce Sand depending on the type of Coral it ate:

Horn:   100% Sand
Tube:   75% Sand & 25% Red Sand
Brain:  50% Sand & 50% Red Sand
Bubble: 25% Sand & 75% Red Sand
Fire:   100% Red Sand

They only spawn in Warm Oceans, can be picked up with a bucket and also cooked and eaten.

Parrot Fish are animals that exist in the Real World and eat Coral to make Sand, so I thought this would be a better alternative to make Sand renewable instead of making it drop by Husks like most people suggest.
Also its more interresting to automate it this way.

Also im a horrible Artist, so please excuse the textures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Parrot Fish server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Parrot Fish compatible with fabric?

Parrot Fish officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Parrot Fish – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Parrot Fish 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.
