Field notes from the reef: this add-on fills the oceans with five new creatures, each with its own model and swimming motion, plus the foods, materials and decorations they bring with them. Take a deep breath (or better, craft a Diving Helmet) and go have a look.
The creatures
- Coral Tang: a small blue reef fish with a coral-pink stripe and a yellow tail. They school in groups of 3 to 6 in warm and lukewarm oceans and dart away from players and sharks. Drops Raw Coral Tang (already cooked if it was on fire).
- Sting Jelly: a slow, pulsing pink jellyfish that drifts through every ocean that is not frozen. Brush against one and it stings you with a few seconds of Poison. Drops 1 to 2 Jelly Gel.
- Manta Ray: a wide, gentle glider with a starry back that beats its wings through warm, lukewarm and deep oceans. Shy and harmless. Drops 1 to 3 Manta Hide.
- Reef Turtle: a teal sea turtle with coral flecks on its shell. It paddles through warm and lukewarm reefs and never leaves the water. Drops Seagrass and, now and then, a Turtle Scute.
- Reef Shark: a calm cruiser of most oceans. It ignores healthy swimmers, but if you are in the water with less than half your health, it will notice you. It also hunts Coral Tangs and bites back when attacked. Drops 1 to 3 Raw Shark Steak.
Food
- Raw Coral Tang (2 hunger points) cooks into Cooked Coral Tang (5) in a furnace, smoker or campfire.
- Raw Shark Steak (3) cooks into Grilled Shark Steak (8).
- Kelp Wrap: 1 Cooked Coral Tang and 2 Dried Kelp, shapeless. Restores 8 hunger points and gives 30 seconds of Water Breathing.
- Jelly Gel in a brewing stand turns an Awkward Potion into a Potion of Water Breathing.
Decoration
- Sea Glass: 8 Glass around 1 Jelly Gel makes 8 see-through teal glass blocks.
- Rose Sea Glass: 8 Sea Glass around 1 Pink Dye makes 8 soft pink ones.
- Coral Lamp: Jelly Gel on top, Pink Dye, Glowstone Dust and Pink Dye in the middle row, Sea Glass at the bottom makes 2. A branching coral on a sea glass base that glows at light level 14 and can be placed underwater.
- Woven Kelp Block: 4 Kelp in a square.
Diver's Gear
- Diving Helmet: 5 Manta Hide in a helmet shape with Sea Glass in the middle slot of the bottom row. Underwater it gives Water Breathing and Night Vision.
- Diver's Vest, Diver's Leggings and Diver's Flippers: Manta Hide in the usual armor shapes. The Vest keeps Sting Jellies from stinging you, the Flippers give Dolphin's Grace while you swim.
- Every piece is repaired with Manta Hide. The full suit protects a bit better than leather.
Tips from the logbook
- Heal up before a long dive in shark waters, and keep a Kelp Wrap in your pocket.
- A full suit takes a few Manta Rays: look for them in deep and warm water.
- Spawn eggs for all five creatures are in the creative inventory.
