Ever felt like the oceans in Minecraft are a bit boring? Don't you wish they were a bit more beautiful and/or mysterious? Well so did I, and after working for few weeks, I now proudly present to you the Aquatic Abyss!
In this mod, Minecraft's boring oceans are populated with tons of new mythical and real creatures, along with new world generation! Check out the features:
Mythical Creatures
Sea Serpents
Who knew the old tales of sea serpents were real! The sea serpent is a rare creature with smooth movements and quick and impulsive attacks, that might be found roaming the waters and maybe even hunting other creatures. Currently, the green serpent, the only serpent "yet discovered by mankind", has 30 hearts of health. Be careful, it hunts humans too!
Serpents occasionally get hungry, and will remain neutral when not hungry.
Creatures
Fish
Fish like to swim in schools of similar species, and have random sizes, colors, and details. There are a multitude of unique fish species that occupy the oceans:
The Common Fish
Butterflyfish
Clownfish
Masked Butterflyfish
Raccoon Butterflyfish
Spotfin Butterflyfish
Bannerfish
Fairy Basslet
Black Cap Basslet
Billfish (Swordfish, etc)
Not all of the ocean is calm. Billfish are the fastest swimmers known to mankind (irl!) and like to eat common fish! Billfish will drop their spikes (the bills) in two forms: either long or short, depending on their bill length. They may also drop an amount of fish. The types:
Sailfish
Although they are smaller in size, sailfish are the fasted of the billfish. Like other mobs, they have different textures and marks. Here's a swordfish hunting some fish!
Swordfish
Swordfish are larger than their predecessor and have an extremely long bill (aka longer attack range!). They also have a fin instead of a sail.
Seahorses
How do I travel the oceans if the player moves so slowly, you ask? The answer: you tame a seahorse! You can find seahorses with random textures and (if you're lucky) colors. To tame them, you must mount them many times. They will knock you off and flee, but will eventually become tamed! Check out some pictures:
More creatures to come!
Items
Goggles
How do I see and breathe in the water, you ask? Easy! Just craft a pair of goggles with the recipe above! The goggles (and snorkel) will provide you with sight and oxygen for 4 minutes before breaking.
Edible Fish
Although not all fish are edible, some more common fish can be cooked and eaten after being killed.
Spike Sword
You can craft 3 short billfish spikes into 1 long billfish spike, and using those, you can craft a spike sword! A spike sword has 150 uses and does 6.5 hearts of damage.
World Generation
Seaweed
Rocks
Rocks are made of stained clay and randomly spawn on the ocean floor. They also have a chance to contain an ore inside! The chances of getting a particular ore is: (The chances are consecutive, ex: Iron is only considered when Coal is not picked)
Coal: 1 out of 4
Iron: 1 out of 5
Lapis Lazuli: 1 out of 8
Gold: 1 out of 10
Diamond: 1 out of 100
More features will be added soon!
Configuration
A config file can be found in .minecraft/config/ with the following options:
GenerateRocks (true/false) - Whether rocks should be generated
GenerateSeaweed (true/false) - Whether seaweed should be generated
SpawnMythicalCreatures (true/false) - Whether you want mythical creatures to spawn
FAQ Q: Why does my background turn black/white when I'm underwater for a long time? A: Unfortunately, this is a Minecraft bug. We'll just have to deal with it. However, they're likely to fix it in 1.8. Q: The game crashes! A: Above all, make sure you downloaded the AnimationAPI! If you have already, please post the error report in a spoiler.

The jar is in the mods folder and I've got animation api 1.7.2 and animated player 1.7.2, there's plenty of seaweed but no fish,...Could it be because I'm also using biomes o plenty?

Oh, that actually clears things up quite a lot. That's probably the reason, but I know a fix for that, and I'll work on it asap!

Sir, you have outdone yourself! I have been looking for a mod that focused on the ocean and while i found a different prior, yours will be replacing it for quality! Excellent work!

Enjoy, and please give feedback
Not my type of mod though, but very impressive nonetheless.
Thanks Very well then
Could you give me an error report?
Thanks Don't be surprised if it crashes though. I found the bug and am uploading a fixed version now
EDIT: The bugs should be fixed now. If no fish are spawning, you might be in a lake. That will be added later on.

Thanks!
Thanks Oh that's weird :/ Have you found any seaweed? Are you sure the mod has installed properly?
I will definitely try to make more mythical creatures and thanks!
Please, go ahead
Oh, that actually clears things up quite a lot. That's probably the reason, but I know a fix for that, and I'll work on it asap!
