This and Subaquatic are my favorite moda right now. Oceanic Expanse not only backports a lot of ocean, but also adds in new unique creations. I also love the redesigned trident it adds and it works really well.

My only gripes are that the performance in coral reefs isnt always the best and there are still bugs that need to be fixed, but for its release there are a lot less bugs than other mods that are newly released.

Description

Requires MixinBooter.

Description
Oceanic Expanse is a Forge mod that backports many ocean-based features from 1.13+ and adds even more new custom content! Each Feature is made to fit and expand upon vanilla Minecraft design and is built to be highly configurable.

Backports and alters many 1.13+ features such as Drowned, Shipwrecks, Conduits, Tridents, all the fish, and much more.
Adds ocean regions such as Frozen Oceans with Icebergs, and Warm Oceans with Coral Reefs.
Expands upon beaches, adding Palm Trees with falling Coconuts, Crabs that dig up treasures, Shelly Sand for beachcombing, and more!
Adds content below Frozen Oceans with the ocean crop Dulse, Tube Sponges, and lots of Sea stars!

For more information on every single feature, check out the expansive Wiki, kept up to date

FAQ

Q: Why did you make this for 1.12? Isn't that a lot of unnecessary work?
A: I started development on this mod in 2018, and it was the first Minecraft mod I ever developed to completion. Rather than abandon the work done so far, I decided to just finish the 1.12 mod, as it is better to release the mod rather than attempt to keep with the latest version.

Q: Why are some of the content backports, and others fully original?

A: When this mod began development, there weren't many mods backporting content from 1.13 well; so the original purpose of this mod was backporting. Working on it though, I expanded upon parts of 1.13 I felt were lacking such as the Trident, and soon enough began adding more unique content based on what I'd like out of an ocean mod.

Q: Will you port this mod past 1.12 / When will it be on [newer version]?

A: If I port this mod to a later version, many features will need to be changed/altered. As such, expect it to be a sequel, like Oceanic Expanse 2: Electric Jellyfish!!1!
Also, please don't beg for a port. This is not my job, nor is it my duty. I will port it if I want to, when I want to.

Q: Will you add X feature?

I have multiple documents used for planning, expect them to be made public in the future. As for adding features, I am very picky on what I want to add. So many things you might want (like sharks) will likely never be added.

If you have any ideas you would like to request, check out the Github’s Discussions, and create a new discussion under Ideas!

Aqua Acrobatics backports the 1.13+ Movement including swimming, crawling, crouching under slabs, along with various water tweaks such as backporting the textures, changes to underwater fog, and adding Bubble Columns! Along with being highly customizable, Oceanic Expanse includes built-in compatibility for this mod.

Fluidlogged API adds fluidlogging, similar to 1.13+ waterlogging, but supporting any fluids, including those added by mods! Oceanic Expanse is automatically compatible with Fluidlogged API, as long as you do not use it in a pre-existing world! Thanks to the creator jbredwards for the help, their aid was invaluable!
