Oceanic Expanse

Requires MixinBooter.

Description
Oceanic Expanse is a Forge mod that backports many ocean-based features from 1.13+ and adds even more new custom content! Each Feature is made to fit and expand upon vanilla Minecraft design and is built to be highly configurable.

• Backports and alters many 1.13+ features such as Drowned, Shipwrecks, Conduits, Tridents, all the fish, and much more.
• Adds ocean regions such as Frozen Oceans with Icebergs, and Warm Oceans with Coral Reefs.
• Expands upon beaches, adding Palm Trees with falling Coconuts, Crabs that dig up treasures, Shelly Sand for beachcombing, and more!
• Adds content below Frozen Oceans with the ocean crop Dulse, Tube Sponges, and lots of Sea stars!

FAQ

Q: Why did you make this for 1.12? Isn't that a lot of unnecessary work?
A: I started development on this mod in 2018, and it was the first Minecraft mod I ever developed to completion. Rather than abandon the work done so far, I decided to just finish the 1.12 mod, as it is better to release the mod rather than attempt to keep with the latest version.

Q: Why are some of the content backports, and others fully original?

A: When this mod began development, there weren't many mods backporting content from 1.13 well; so the original purpose of this mod was backporting. Working on it though, I expanded upon parts of 1.13 I felt were lacking such as the Trident, and soon enough began adding more unique content based on what I'd like out of an ocean mod.

Q: Will you port this mod past 1.12 / When will it be on [newer version]?

A: If I port this mod to a later version, many features will need to be changed/altered. As such, expect it to be a sequel, like Oceanic Expanse 2: Electric Jellyfish!!1!
Also, please don't beg for a port. This is not my job, nor is it my duty. I will port it if I want to, when I want to.

Q: Will you add X feature?

I have multiple documents used for planning, expect them to be made public in the future. As for adding features, I am very picky on what I want to add. So many things you might want (like sharks) will likely never be added.

Along with being highly customizable, Oceanic Expanse includes built-in compatibility for this mod.

Fluidlogged API adds fluidlogging, similar to 1.13+ waterlogging, but supporting any fluids, including those added by mods! Oceanic Expanse is automatically compatible with Fluidlogged API, as long as you do not use it in a pre-existing world! Thanks to the creator jbredwards for the help, their aid was invaluable!
