Not So Shrimple is back on Minecraft 1.20.1.

What Is This Mod?

Not So Shrimple adds dangerous crustacean-themed creatures, animated weapons, upgrade items, and strange aquatic encounters to your world.

This port keeps the spirit of the original mod while adapting it for Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47+, and GeckoLib 4.

Creatures

Crayfish

Crayfish are hostile semi-aquatic mobs with multiple variants.
They are tough, aggressive, and come with different visual styles depending on how they are summoned.

In this port, crayfish no longer spawn naturally. Instead, they are summoned using a Bucket of Bait.

Crayfish variants include:

Normal variants from regular water
Ice variants from cold biome water
Blood/fire variants from Nether lava
Rare special variants

Maneater

The Maneater is a hostile shell creature found near shipwrecks.
Its spawning has been reworked for this port so encounters feel more controlled and less spammy.

Maneaters can appear near:

Shipwrecks
Beached shipwrecks

Spawn rates are intentionally limited, making each encounter feel more deliberate.

Bucket of Bait

The Bucket of Bait is the new way to summon crayfish.

Craft it using a bucket and raw fish, then throw it into water or lava.
After a short delay, it has a configurable chance to summon a crayfish nearby.

Summoning rules:

Throw into water to summon normal or ice crayfish
Throw into cold biome water for ice variants
Throw into Nether lava for blood/fire variants
The summoned crayfish appears nearby, not directly on top of the bait
Summoned crayfish briefly glow so they are easier to find

River-Prawn Greatclaw

The River-Prawn Greatclaw is a custom animated GeckoLib weapon.

It features:

Heavy melee damage
Durability-based use
A ground-slam attack
A visual block-wave effect
Area damage that scales with fall speed

The harder you fall, the wider the slam impact becomes.

Items

The mod also includes:

Raw Prawn
Cooked Prawn
Smithing Stones
Somber Stones
Purging Stone
Crayfish and Maneater spawn eggs

Smithing and Somber Stones can upgrade supported equipment, with configurable caps and tag-based blacklist/whitelist support.

Coming In A Future Update

A new mob is already being prepared for a future update.

It is not available in the current release yet, but development has already started.
More details will be revealed once the creature is closer to release.
