This mod adds the gentle giant the manatee or known as sea cow into the game.
You can find them roaming the rivers or are near the beach.
They are slow swimmers, but when panicking they are stepping on the gas.
You can tempt them with sea grass and kelp.
If they are in the water for a long time (5-10 minutes)
then they will get different type of algae on their back until you clean them.
You can scrub that off from them with a sponge or brush.
and while doing that they will drop an item too that got stuck on their back while wandering the shallow waters.
Sponge will not get destroyed when using it on them.
In forge you can change this and other spawn settings by editing the json files in the data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders or via resource pack and in fabric there is a config file for it.
There are json item tag files also available on the data -> tags -> item folder
So you can change the cleaning items, common-, uncommon-, rare item drops, manatee food/tempt items.
