About this project

What does Squid Dolphin Fish Breeding add?

Fish Breed

Breed squids, glow squids, fish and dolphins — and raise your own named aquarium pets!

In vanilla Minecraft, ocean mobs can't be bred. Fish Breed changes that: feed two of the same kind and they'll swim toward each other and have a baby.

🐟 How to breed

Right-click two adult mobs of the same kind with their favourite food. Hearts appear, the pair swims together, and a baby is born.

Mob Food (either one works)
Squid Kelp
Glow Squid Kelp
Tropical Fish Seagrass
Cod Wheat Seeds / Pumpkin Seeds
Salmon Melon Seeds / Beetroot Seeds
Pufferfish Cocoa Beans / Torchflower Seeds
Dolphin Any fish

✨ Features

  • Glowing genes – A squid and a glow squid can breed together. If either parent glows, the baby has a 50% chance to be a glow squid.
  • Named babies – Every newborn gets a cute random name tag, so you can tell your pets apart.
  • No despawning – Babies are marked persistent and will never despawn, so your aquarium stays full.
  • Real babies – Baby squids and dolphins use the vanilla baby models. Baby fish are born at half size and grow to full size after 20 minutes.
  • Fair cooldown – After breeding, parents rest for 5 minutes. Babies can't breed until they're grown.

📦 Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.3
  • Fabric Loader 0.19.3+
  • Fabric API
  • Java 25

Server-side logic: install it on the server (or in single-player). Clients don't need extra resources.

❓ FAQ

Does this work on existing worlds? Yes. Just add the mod; any squid, fish or dolphin can be bred right away.

Can I remove the mod later? Yes. Babies stay as normal mobs with their names. Baby fish that haven't grown yet will stay at half size.
