Fish Find Love - Fish Breeding

A Minecraft Java Edition datapack that adds fish breeding mechanics to the game

Description

🐟 Fish Find Love

Breed fish, dolphins, squids, and glow squids — because vanilla Minecraft forgot about them.

Modrinth CurseForge Planet Minecraft

🌿 Fish Breeding

Drop kelp near two fish of the same species and watch the magic happen.

  • Supports all four vanilla species: Cod, Salmon, Pufferfish, Tropical Fish
  • Fish must be within 5 blocks of the dropped kelp
  • Tropical fish have variant inheritance — 80% chance to look like a parent, 20% random
  • Heart particles + XP orbs on successful breeding
  • Stack-friendly — only 1 kelp consumed per breed
  • 5 minute breeding cooldown | 30 minute maturation cooldown

🐬 Dolphin Breeding (disabled by default)

Vanilla-style love mode breeding for dolphins.

  • Right-click an adult dolphin with tropical fish to enter love mode (60 seconds)
  • Two love-mode dolphins within 3 blocks breed automatically
  • Baby dolphins grow naturally using vanilla mechanics
  • Tropical fish not consumed in creative mode
  • 5 minute breeding cooldown

🦑 Squid & Glow Squid Breeding (disabled by default, 26.1+)

Drop-based breeding for the ocean's forgotten mobs.

  • Drop raw cod near squids, or glow lichen near glow squids to trigger love mode
  • Two love-mode squids of the same type within 3 blocks breed automatically
  • Squids and glow squids cannot cross-breed
  • Baby squids grow naturally using vanilla mechanics
  • Stack-friendly — only 1 item consumed per feeding
  • 5 minute breeding cooldown
