🌊 Aquamirae 7: The Maelstrom Update is here!

The biggest Aquamirae update I’ve ever worked on is finally here!

This update isn’t just about new content – I’ve essentially rewritten Aquamirae from scratch, moving it away from its hard Forge dependency to a multiloader architecture built on Fragmentum.

It was an extremely difficult but necessary step that will allow me to support newer Minecraft versions much faster, while keeping the mod’s content consistent across Forge and Fabric.

⚠️ Beta Release

I’m marking this release as Beta, as I expect there to be bugs and rough edges that will need fixing. I’ll be actively working on patches throughout the next week based on your feedback.

The scope of this update ended up being much larger than I originally planned, so alongside bug fixes, I’ll also be making adjustments and improvements as we go.

❤️ Support the Development

This update was made possible in large part thanks to my Patreon supporters. In my current situation, every patron directly provides resources that allow me to keep working on updates like this.

If you enjoy my work, please consider becoming a patron and directly supporting Aquamirae and my other projects. Every bit of support genuinely helps!

Welcome to The Maelstrom. 🌊

• Added an experimental world generation type, Endless Ice Maze (available alongside vanilla presets like Superflat). Many players were trying to create a world with an infinite Ice Maze as a challenge, so this is now supported out of the box

• Further optimized Maw by reducing loot table generation frequency (the item chance is determined first, and the table is only generated if needed)
• Fixed Maw's AI and goal priorities (no longer forgets how to swim when aggressive, along with other inconsistencies)

• Fixed incorrect generation of Maw's mouth item (which was affecting performance) and improved Maw's overall code

• Added Jellyfish Jelly, dropped from Abyssal Scyphoid. Used as an ingredient for the Poison Immunity potion. Its duration can be extended with Wisteria Niveis.
• Added a chance for Poison Immunity potions to generate in Pillager Ship chests.
• Removed Potion of Tenacity and Spectral Potion due to lack of meaningful use.
• Reworked Sea Casserole – now crafted using Jellyfish Jelly and grants Poison Immunity.
• Significantly increased Angler's poison strength and improved its loot table.
• Increased Eel aggression, added a stronger poison effect to its bites, applied a debuff to its roar, and improved its loot table.
• Improved the stats of most food items to make them more meaningful.
• Added JEI integration for potion effects.
• General improvements to food-related code.

• Removed leftover STDOUT debug output

• Added a squish sound for jellyfish animations
• Jellyfish no longer poison each other
• Jellyfish health now scales with their size
• Fixed jellyfish size desync
• Doubled the drop rate of Abyssal Amethyst from the Mother of the Maze

• Added Abyssal Scyphoid, a new underwater creature – a venomous jellyfish that serves as an additional source of Abyssal Amethyst and Echo of the Ship Graveyard, though a dangerous one
• Added built-in Better Combat compatibility
• Added logbook translation support
• Updated Italian, German, Turkish, and Russian translations
• Fixed Maw spawning in lit areas
• Fixed freezing in the Ice Maze when inside modded submarines
• Improved rendering performance for all creatures
• Updated minimum required Forge version to 47.2.0

• Complete overhaul of the Ice Maze generation (backported from the upcoming Aquamirae 7)! Instead of dense clusters of wall-like structures that didn't truly form a proper maze, the generation now uses a multi-layered noise-based system. This makes exploration more immersive and visually diverse, while also significantly improving performance by reducing the number of generated structures several times over.
• Weather inside the Ice Maze has been adjusted – it now properly snows within the biome. This is a temporary implementation and not as robust as the system planned for Aquamirae 7, so in large modpacks with custom world generation it may not always apply correctly.
• Added a subtle ambient background loop to reinforce the atmosphere of the frozen wasteland.
• Removed procedurally generated loot armor from the Creative tab. It can still be obtained as drops, but will no longer clutter your JEI listings.

• Fixed incorrect refmap reference causing a mixin apply error on startup

• Fixed shelters incorrectly flooding when generated inside underground water pockets
• Fixed drowned spawned by Dead Sea Scroll being subject to despawn
• Fixed Dead Sea Scroll always spawning a drowned

• Rune of the Storm can now be applied using the Smithing Table
• Fixed music discs being interrupted
• Fixed unknown crystallization damage type
• Fixed possible equipment loss when Dead Sea Scroll is used on Peaceful difficulty

Fabric Port

Update 6

General

• Animation library improvements.
• Fixed a bug where animation keyframes didn't have a smooth transition with some shaders.
• Added Death animations for Cornelia, Maw and Eel.
• Some code structure improvements.
• Added In-Game Settings Screen

Captain Cornelia

• Cornelia can now switch weapons mid-combat, gaining different passive attack effects. She analyzes the enemy and tries to choose the most effective weapon.
• The interval between Cornelia's attacks has been increased.
• Cornelia now has a chance to summon Maze Roses instead of Poisoned Chakras.
• Fixed a bug where Cornelia wouldn't turn towards her target while levitating.

Mobs

• Maws eat everything indiscriminately. They now have a 10% chance to have random items in their mouths.

Gameplay

• Added maps with Ship, Outpost and Shelter locations.
• Treasure Pouch now has a 10% chance to generate a map pointing to the nearest ship or outpost.
• Cornelia is guaranteed to drop a map pointing to the nearest Shelter.
• Pillagers and Vindicators that naturally spawn in the Ice Maze will now have themed loot tables.
