You just need one thing to make this mod perfect: when you play music on a jukebox and there is crabs around, they rave

as a huge biology nerd, this mod scratches an itch i didn't know i had. wonderful realism and attention to detail, while still feeling like it belongs in minecraft!

i'm unhealthily obsessed with sea creatures so this mod makes me way, way too happy. i kept giggling and bouncing up and down in joy at all the fish i recognized. thank you for this.

If you're still adding to this mod, You *should* add: - Jellyfish - Shrimp - lobsters - Sharks - whale - blue whale - sea otter - yeti crab - Giant squid (don't have to) - leafy seadragon - snails - Electric eel ------------------------------------------------------------- Deep sea ocean (65+ blocks down in the sea) - Zombie worms (real thing) - Lantern fish (my favorite) - Viper Fish - Hag fish - vampire squid

I'm freaking out, as a marine biology student I just kept smiling the more you added. Nudibranchs (sea slugs) are my favorites, I was like "he's not gonna add them," and then YOU DID!! Brilliant work, I love the detail

The only thing this mod lacks is crabs dancing near a working jukebox and a Crab Rave disc. Other than that, this is pure perfection!

I like everything in this mod ... except for the starfish. Them breeding instantly when eating adjacent clams and muscles runs the risk of just filling the ocean floor with them over time. Especially since nothing eats them in the mod currently. Other than that, you absolutely nailed the dynamic systems in Minecraft.

As a marine biology student, I absolutely adore this!!!!! I was always disappointed that we get nautilus shells but not the actual animal. Super well done, I also love the less well-known features like the sargassum and the nudibranchs!!! My favorite is probably the pelican though, super creative and cute :)

So glad Eight added fish from minecraft into real life! 🐟🐟🐟🐟

This is one of those rare mods that perfectly fits and 100% should be added in minecraft.

"it's not so shrimple" is the best extension to the shrimp fried rice joke I've ever heard

This is what the aquatic update should’ve been

What an incredibly thorough mod, he really never fails to disappoint. And it's free!

This mod is literally amazing and has had me in tears for at least 43 minutes. As a marine biology nerd the amount of attention to detail in this mod is absolutely *astounding*, and the uses you've come up with for each mob are so true to life for each creature and it's beautiful. I feel the only thing I would add to make this better would be our lord and savior the ocean sunfish, and I've seen a couple people suggest adding it to the mod, however if you do, there's two things you should consider. For one, the ocean sunfish, despite being very useful to pelagic ecosystems, has a reputation for seeming useless at first glance. I figure it would be in character for the ocean sunfish to be one of the most useless mobs in this mod as a result, coming up to the surface of the water to sun themselves and seeming very lazy overall. The second thing I'd like to point out is that there is a famous video on the internet of a Boston fisherman spotting a sunfish in the wild and calling it a myriad of things, such as a "baby whale". Given that you're prone to implementing silly ideas, do with that as you will. If you don't plan on adding the ocean sunfish because the freshwater sunfish is already in the game, that's completely valid! I'd be curious to see what you do with this mod in the future if you ever decide to revisit it, which I greatly hope you do, because this is the only way I'm going to be able to play Minecraft from now on :7

I ADORE marine biology and this may just be my favorite mod ever made. Echinoderms, Nudibranchs, Cnidarians, Mollusks, EVERYONE IS HERE! EVEN THE ANOMALOCARIS, THE TRUE OG!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for making this incredible tribute to our planet’s soggiest majesties!

This unironically is such a good mod. I wish this game had these breeding mechanics for fish. My marine bio teachers would love this 😂

If you would like to improve it just a few idea: - Cattail - Make fishing more engaging, more loot - Trophies/fish size - Jellyfish - Use for algae

as a marine biologist this is my absolute FAVORITE mod! I love the delightfully accurate details about the sealife. It really makes minecraft feel like a working biosphere! 🦑

I love mods like these so much. All of the new mobs are perfectly suited for minecraft's style, the mechanics are new and interesting while not being overly complex and deep. I could see this entire mod just dropped into minecraft without any changes. give us 1.20.1 plz

Seeing the sea bunnies really cemented the fact that this is definitely my favourite mod 😭💖

The mod is so clean, the style, texture and mechanics of all the fish&others are just like something minecraft would add, continue to do these mods they are amazing and truly add something to minecraft that feels vanilla.

Aquatic update was one of my favorites mainly because it added so much life in Ocean Remember when there was just squids wandering aimlessly in a seemingly empty ocean? Times changed

I appreciated the aquarium segment very much, even if nearby patrons did not.

The worms are the ones i saw in that image. Their drops can be used to get the item that summons the Ender Worm. They can be found in dirt, and when right clickled on the same dirt, their item can be obtained, and it can be added back. They drop nothing when killed. If you break the block, the worm will get out.

The fact that he went outside to make this video, shows how hard he works to create content for us!

I absolutely love how this mod you made is vanilla friendly, like it looks like something that mojang would actually make!!

Idea: New mob: Jellyfish Function: they would spawn in lukewarm or warm oceans and they trap fishes in their tentacles and would kill/eat them and would have multiple colors and they can be put in a bucket and are passive mobs but if you get to close they...sting you and inflict poison...and yeah they just are ambient mobs New mob: Tuna Function: they would spawn in lukewarm and warm oceans and they're multiple sizes of tuna(like salmon) and you can kill them to get the tuna item which can be cooked but a bit slower(a opposite to the sunfish) but they can traded with fishermen villagers and can be a drop when fishing New mob: Marlins or Swordfishes Function: they would spawn lukewarm and warm oceans and they're neutral mobs that would hunt other fish to kill/eat and they would occasionally jump out of the water and can damage you when hit and they will attack you WITH NO MERCY...when provoked ofcourse Mob enhancement: sea horses should spawn in coral reefs with multiple colors and would stick to their respective color and would hide when you or any mob would get too close, sea anemones should have different colors and sizes and they kill other fish that would get too close and would protect clownfishes over the 2699 tropical fish variants (These are just ideas ofcourse so no need to implement these in the mod)

7:49 they aren't a natural kind of fish, they were specifically bred by humans to look appealing. their appearance, though it may look unique, causes them to suffer.

Im so head over heels for this mod. I think one little dude id love to see as a rare hostile mod is the Mantis Shirmp! My absolute favorite thing is the mixing of the parent fish and also the fact that almost every single one is breedable. It seriously shows the love and dedication and its absolutely stunning!

Love the fact that half of the things added here look so edible, but dw I'm totally not gonna feast on those seaslug eggs with dongfish roe as a topping 😋

bro really said, bye bye 🤫🧏 at 9:53

I love how fleshed out you make the mechanics, it almost makes it a functioning ecosystem

This is the first time Ive actually wanted to install a mod. I love the sea, and when than minecraft update came, i was just so happy swimming and exploring underwater. Great job!

I hope one day you update the mod to include more ocean guys! Here's a list of ones I thought would be interesting for you are anyone Deep sea: Snipe eel Spider crab Yeti lobster Frilled shark Vampire squid Dragonfish Gulper eel Giant isopod Chimaera Reef fish, tropical fish and open water fish Octopus Parrot fish That one fish that looks like it has human teeth Jellyfish Manta ray Whale shark Marlin Sailfish Snapper Flounder River fish Bass Really big catfish Sting rays Pike Perch Trout That's all I could properly think of but I do love mods that make the water in Minecraft way less boring!

"Unlike Sugarcane." *laughs in bedrock

Fun little details in the video Diansu's sunfish texture has him wearing a brown suit and when you repeated lux fish it pulled up Luxintrust's MC skin and other shenigans.

What I love about eightsidedsquare is that the mobs seem vanilla-esque, I could actually see most of these features in a regular Minecraft update

As an aquarium enthusiast this mod is my dream come true, even right down to the duckweed addition! Do you ever plan to port it to Forge in the future?

This video actually helped me learn that Papyrus is a type of plant, not only a type of parchment.

This mod fits perfectly into minecraft, adding so many new things yet the mechanics have barely changed so it isnt too complicated. Mojang, hire this man.

You should add barracudas. they typically hang around coastal areas, but it would be best to NOT have diamond, gold, or iron tools and/or armor visible as barracudas associate shiny materials with their usual prey. Same thing with enchanted armor. They will attack you, but they will try and eat whatever shiny armor/tool you have visible, taking off a decent chunk of durability, and if it’s armor, half a heart of the players health.

That papyrus was pretty GREAT. You could say the mod would just be BONE DRY without it.

5:13 « I love these jelly fishes » ….. « I love those plastic bags » 😭😭

Swamp fish introduce was epic

im a huge fan of marine biology, love the attention to detail in this mod, incredible job!

Completely great, perfect & well-made modifications on the Minecraft Trails & Tales updates. I sincerely admire your hard-work and aware on biology to make this mod and I appreciate this video. I'm not a huge marine biology nerd, but I find this mod insanely interesting and fun. I believe Minecraft should put this modification entirely as a side-update for the 1.21 Update.

3:33 thank you for adding my favorite sea guy

5:08 funny thing is, at the time I’m watching this, this video has 2.9 million views! We’re almost there, wholesome axolotl

I actually want this in vanilla. It would fit in very well, and the amount of variety it has is great.

About the bubble-eyed goldfish. The reason they exist is because of selective breeding. Also there is liquid under their eyes, and they can pop. It's recommended you keep them in a rounded tank with no sharp decorations, or just don't keep them at all.

4:32 "lober" Got Me Rolling💀

This felt impressively like vanilla Minecraft

This mod is a very nice take on aquatic life in Minecraft- I really like the Pelican idea.

One of the best mods I've ever seen. It doesn't completely fill the game with useless and complicated things but it remains genuine and very beautiful. A tip: it would be cool to add moray eels and eels. Great mod!

mojang gotta hire this guy, instead of just getting 3 items per update, we'll get tons of new features

Bro actually got 3M views

6:03 It is a ancient egypt reference.

This is genuinely really really cool! And everything feels very vanilla. Very well done! Also that’s crazy that they made papyrus from undertale in Minecraft. What a crossover

I'm so glad you added an actual nautilus

Genuinely loving the sea puns so much. Absolutely keep going w them!

This is awesome! For some ideas if you ever revisit this, I have a few: -coconut trees with coconuts that can be broken and eaten for their flesh, or used on a bucket to give milk - coconut crabs that spawn near coconut trees, and can climb trees to eat coconuts which they can also be bred with. Although usually passive, they’ll attack anything that they’ve seen get hurt and inflict massive damage (as a coconut crab’s pincer closing is equal to that of a lions bite in force) to kill it, taking from their irl opportunistic habits. - tube worm blocks that spawn round geothermal vents (ie underwater magma cubes) - seabirds, with textures from different seabirds depending on their spawn, like puffins and gannets in Rocky coasts, boobies and tropicbirds in coral reefs and sandy beaches and seagulls everywhere. - PENGUINS!!!!

Okay, the pelicans are honestly one of the most original realistic mods I've ever seen.

Thank you for adding anamolicaris it's my favorite Cambrian creature Actually, you should make a prehistoric sea creatures mod now

this looks so perfectly vanilla friendly

Man that Papyrus really is great, it would look great in snow biomes

Was so cool to see this developed in real time and to contribute suggestions. Always awesome to see you work and can't wait for your next upload in 5 years

2:35 Not gonna lie this part was awesome

As a future marine biologist (I’m a high school sophomore) and someone who’s loved marine animals since I was less than two years old, I adore this and wish mojang could add so much more mobs, blocks, biomes, and other aquatic things. Please mojang, you want more awareness. The oceans are becoming a vulnerable place and we need to help with that.

6:05 Unfortunately, skeletons are already in Minecraft

I’d really love to see a ‘fish tank’ item that works like a pane of glass but when placed together joins. It would be nice to see fish acting normal in a fish tank instead of floating at the top

Those sea slugs are just funny little guys.

6:09 “it is bone meal able, unlike sugarcane” Me: laughs in bedrock edition

8:35 *Thanks Diansu*

Fun fact: You can actually bone meal sugar cane in Bedrock edition. 6:10

please make more mods like that, it would be so fun to play a modpack with all those special mods

8:19 My man predicted mobvote 2023 and thought we wouldn't notice

Love the chambered nautilus! I've wanted them in vanilla for ages and these really look like they could fit right in!

0:00 intro 0:15 worms 0:47 fish row 2:20 swamp fish 4:00 aquarium 7:54 anglerfish 8:19 cool crabs 8:40 mushroom island fish 8:51 water texture 9:18 pelican 10:19 outro

The fact that this isn't just a thing in minecraft is criminal

5:09 dang bro really predicted it

Honestly this looks like a mod I’d play with!

5:56 is this a cleverly disguised allusion to the digital entertainment known as the StoryBelow?

Bro really just predicted crabs

7:32 just got a mental image of madeline drinking coffee, 10/10 mod for that.

Oh my GOD I've literally wanted a mod just like this for so long. Fish breeding!! my tanks won't suck anymore to stock!! Also, with all the plants you created, koi pond and koi should be pretty easy to add to, and look amazing without (in theory, idk how modding works) too much extra effort?

Dang! I wish the MC team would buy this off of you and add these to the game officially! Incredible work!

2:35 bruh😂😂😂

UPDATE THIS TO 1.20 PLEASE

4:57 bro has seen some things

Urchins as underwater item frames is a brilliant idea

Papyrus:STOP IT SANS IM DONE WITH THE TOKEN 😡🔪 Sans:Sounds like someone’s funny bone’s broken 😂🤚

him:papyrus me:UNDERTALE REFERENCE

✨⭐️👉 ideas👈⭐️✨ Oysters and clams should be more like turtle eggs in the sense that you can add individual ones into a pile You should make more of the fish edible. You can also make seaside villages that will trade you emeralds depending on what kind of fish you’re giving them they can give more or less emeralds certain things like sea urchins are considered a delicacy. Lobster Shrimp Seagulls Jellyfish

6:38 death urchin with a player head impaled on top. You put a lot of research into this single mod, and I think the aesthetics are just beautiful, especially since you got the textures for free. Im sure everyone who liked this is looking forward to downloading it.

Papyrus is an undertail refrence

0:01 take that back, we have tropical fesh

I wouldn't mind watching a full fledged video of talking like this 2:35

8:40 oh yeah baby, Cambrian explosion time Now add the hallucigenia

Bro predicted the crab

0:48 Do you understand how many people would rename the original tropical fish spawn eggs to Jelly beans?
