Glass Panels! Thin glass that sits flush on the edge of a block. Up to four on one block. Panels of the same glass have connecting textures.

  • Nine glasses: vanilla Glass and Tinted, plus Frosted, Smoked, Reeded, Leaded, Seeded, Rippled and Amber.
  • Panels hold water like any vanilla waterloggable block. Water behind or inside them looks exactly like water behind a glass block: still, flat, and not merging with water on the far side.
  • Panels can hold shallow water too (set with the Wavecaster).

Name Plates! A little plate on the front of your tank with your own text on it.

  • Right-click a tank to put one up
  • Eight finishes to choose from: Walnut & Gold (default), Brass, Silver, Copper, Ebony, Ivory, Oak and Verdigris.
  • Right-click the plate with an empty hand to edit it again.
  • Use shears on it to take it down and get the plate back.

Magnifying Glass!

  • Zooms in like a spyglass.
  • While you look through it, a card in the top-left corner shows the tank's name plate (or its name), its biome and how many creatures are in it.

Plant Clippers! Stop plants from growing.

  • Use on a plant to stop it from growing: bamboo, sugar cane, vines, kelp, cactus, crops, saplings, berries, mushrooms, dripstone and anything else that grows on its own.
  • Use again to let it grow.

Wavecaster! A water tool for the outside world.

  • Set how deep water is, from a full block down to a puddle (8 levels).
  • Set how its surface looks: calm, or flowing in one of 8 directions. The flow is just the look, so it doesn't push you or items around.
  • Set how much one use reaches: 1 block, 3x3, 5x5, or the whole pool (up to 256 blocks).
  • "Back to normal" turns shaped water back into ordinary water. A new Wavecaster starts on Back to normal.
  • Sneak + right-click to change its settings. The tooltip shows what it's set to.
  • Shaped water stays exactly as you set it, and works on servers.
  • Works with shaders!

Backdrops! Put any block's texture on the inside walls of a tank as a background.

  • For the regular box tanks.

Tank Safety Options! In the tank menu under Options, all on by default:

  • Residents can't drown: creatures get water breathing inside aquariums.
  • Residents can't be hurt: creatures in the tank take no damage and don't attack each other, unless you do it yourself (hit them, remove them, or /kill).
  • Visitors breathe underwater: players inside an aquarium never run out of air.
  • Undead (zombies, skeletons, phantoms and the rest) no longer burn in the daylight inside tanks. The tank's time of day is left alone, so mobs that care about it (sniffers, fossils and archaeology Dinos) still work.

Connecting Switch! Choose whether tanks connect to each other.

  • Sneak + right-click (in the air) with a tank item to toggle it: tanks placed from that stack won't connect to the tanks next to them. The tooltip shows which way it's set.
  • In the tank menu under Options, "Connects to new tanks" turns it on or off for the whole connected tank at once.
  • Turning it off never splits tanks that are already connected. It only stops new ones joining.

Rain and Snow Inside Tanks, Redone! The rain and snow inside tanks were way too small. They're now drawn with the real vanilla raindrops and snowflakes, at the right size and a slower speed.

  • Two new sliders per tank: Amount (25% to 300%) and Size (25% to 200%).
  • Still stays inside the glass, and still works on servers.

Tank Menu Redesign! The tank menu is now split into pages.

  • Main page: your creatures and their controls, then Habitat, Weather, Looks, and Options buttons (plus the water slider for aquariums).
  • Habitat: water level, relief (with the up/down nudges), biome, depth, Generate Terrain, presets and interior size.
  • Looks: Frame, Glass, Backdrop and Brightness.
  • The arrow in the corner takes you back to the main page.

Critter Net New Look!

  • A new net texture.
  • It now shows a fish in the net when it's holding a creature (instead of the enchanted glint).

More New Stuff!

  • Center button in the tank menu: brings a creature to the middle of the tank, on top of whatever is there. Works in calm mode.
  • Interior render distance setting (Mods > Terrariums & Aquariums > Config): how far away a tank still shows its inside, 8 to 64 blocks.
  • Aquarium items show water in your inventory.
  • Tank lights rest on the new tank designs, cut to the shape of their top
  • Creative tab reorganized
  • Shaped tanks now say "This tank always has a flat floor, so it can't generate terrain." when you try.
  • Every recipe shows in the vanilla recipe book, no JEI needed. A tank design unlocks once you hold the tank it's made from, and everything else unlocks on its main ingredient.

Sodium, Embeddium and Shaders! Water in and beside glass panels keeps its glass-block look with Sodium or Embeddium installed, with shader packs on or off. Tested with Embeddium + Oculus on 1.20.1, and Sodium + Iris and Embeddium on 1.21.1, under MINI BEST, BSL, Complementary Reimagined, Complementary Unbound, Sildur's Vibrant and MakeUp Ultra Fast.

BUG FIXES!

  • Fixed a gap at block seams in the base ring of joined cylinders.
  • Fixed water and sand in joined round aquariums (grass instead of sand, gaps).
  • Fixed flickering where joined tanks met.
