Disclaimer: Ben's Sharks does not encourage or condone with any form of Shark Hunting. It is worth noting that 1/3 of every shark species around the world is either endangered or flagged under protection. Sharks are a beautiful part of their respective ecosystems and must therefore be preserved.

As of version 1.2.0, the "Shark Fin" item has been completely removed, essentially eliminating any form of Shark Hunting through the use of this mod.

As of version 1.2.5, the "Shark Fin" item was re-added, but in the hands of the evil Illagers.

Don't try and kill any sharks to get this item as they don't drop it. It can only be obtained by looting Pillager Outposts and Woodland Mansions.

This mod is a project solely done by me, so expect there to be a lengthy gap between updates. Stay tuned.
