I've been fascinated by crustaceans since I was a kid, and I have always fantasized about crabs being added to Minecraft one day. However, their failure to make it in the 1.21 mob vote left me feeling disappointed. So, I created this mod.
This mod will add several species of crustaceans to the game to enhance the fun of exploring various biomes. Most of the creatures are edible, while a few have other uses that you'll need to discover for yourself.
These creatures added currently have real-life counterparts, and you can refer to their scientific names on my GitHub for translation and submit them to me.
Future plans:
- Complete the roster of creatures, with some shellfish.
- Maybe more Fantacy creature ?More Adventure elements?
Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with!
