Key Features

New Ocean Biomes

• Drenched Void: A deep, dark, and foggy biome extending to the ocean floor, creating an eerie atmosphere.
• Thermal Seas: Vibrant yellow ocean waters featuring magma pockets, boiling bubbles, floating islands, and fire-themed aquatic mobs.
• Glowing Ocean: Illuminated waters filled with Sea Glowstone, glowing cod, and glow squids that brighten the depths.
• Dread Reef: A pale coral reef variant hosting pale fish and exclusive hostile mobs.
• Island Ocean: Characterized by clusters of islands and towering spikes.
• Iceberg Ocean: A frozen ocean variant with tall icebergs and sharp ice spikes.

Mobs and Their Behaviors

The addon implements a food chain system categorizing mobs as Prey, Neutral, or Predator, affecting their interactions:

• Prey: Mostly passive creatures such as fish and squids.
• Neutral: Attack when provoked or under specific circumstances (e.g., guardians, drowned).
• Predator: Hostile toward most aquatic life and players; can be deterred temporarily with chum clusters.

Notable Mobs

• Clams: Found across ocean biomes, drop food when killed. Shearing open clams yields pearls whose color depends on the biome.
• Jellyfish: Glow softly as they swim; passive in nature.
• Reefopods: Coral reef-dwelling fish swimming in groups.
• Shrimp: Common fish mob that drops food.
• Sea Snails: Shell-dwelling creatures that retreat when threatened; color varies by biome.
• Merfolk: Humanoid aquatic beings hostile unless players wear Scrap Metal Armor. They can be traded with, and baby merfolk can be adopted and equipped to assist players. Includes a hostile brute variant.
• Sea Urchins: Slow-moving, damaging creatures that drop spines.
• Bubbalings: Swim near players; attack in groups if provoked.
• Magma Puffer: Similar to pufferfish but with damaging puff stages and explosive death when fully puffed.

Hostile Creatures and Bosses

• Abyss Guardian: Found in Shrine structures; attacks with explosive boiling bubble beams.
• Prismarine Foes: Fast-moving enemies equipped with varied prismarine gear.
• Sunken Golem: Protects marble ruins.
• Sunken: Water skeletons using wooden harpoons, switching to melee combat up close.
• Adaptive Drowned: Biome-specific drowned variants with unique designs and abilities.
• Giant Squid: Slow predators that create blinding ink clouds when attacking.
• Drowned Shark: Approaches slowly, then swiftly attacks players and boats.
• Magma Latcher: Attaches to targets causing rapid damage and blindness.
• Lurer: Ambush predator resembling a clam that charges at nearby targets.
• Orthoceras: Uses a large horn to dash and attack players, merfolk, and nautilus.
• Giant Isopod: Swarms in groups and attacks players and mobs.
• Thermal Shrimp: Fires powerful damaging bubbles periodically.
• Titan Clam: Instantly kills entities entering its mouth and drops Giant Pearls if killed while open.
• Juvenile Void Wyrm: A fast, tanky miniboss with high damage output.
• Drenched Squid: Miniboss that inflicts darkness and shockwaves, mimics blue jellyfish schools, immortal until provoked.
• Primordial Wyrm (Boss): The addon’s main boss with 12 unique attacks; hostile to prey mobs before activation. Defeating it grants a Lumenyl Forging Template and spawns a tamable baby version that grows into a rideable Juvenile Void Wyrm.

Structures

• Atlantis Trial Chambers: Underwater trial chambers filled with water creatures; the sole source for tridents and exclusive items like the Prismarine Gauntlet.
• Aqueous Soul Forge: Contains the Soul Forge for crafting special items.

Items

Cleavers: These weapons deal slightly less damage than swords but unleash a powerful strike every fifth hit, dealing quadruple damage (excluding effects). They track hits from other cleavers for added combat depth.
