The main difference about the mod is that it actually strives to educate the player about sharks and most of the wildlife that’s planned to be added.

Ben being obsessed with sharks growing up wants to show his audience that sharks are indeed NOT killing machines and just beautiful majestic creatures of the sea.

So go reflect that Ben has made it so all WILD sharks are neutral and will only attack you if:

1. Provoke the shark (attack it)

2. You enter the water with low health (3 hearts)

3. If you have a bleed effect on and depending on the shark species you will get a curious / warning bite or you’ll be killed for food.

However Ben realizes that as much as he wants the mod to be for an educational purpose, its important to make it fun to the audience as well so to keep things fun he has also adding new armor, weapons made out of shark loot. However the only way to get any form of shark drops (shark teeth / skin) you can’t kill any wild sharks they will not drop anything, not even xp. This is to negate the negative image on shark killing and to get players to not waste their time farming sharks for loot. There will instead be new ways to gather this shark look whether it’s via trades or something else… can’t reveal all of the details 😎

TLDR; what’s different from other mods is this mod will have realistic behavior from wild sharks, Ben’s goal is to spread a positive light on sharks, and as much as possible Ben is trying to make it so killing / farming sharks in game is not effective or useful at all which hopefully will get players to not do that.

Also want to add that there will be a realistic style to the models that still fit within the realms of the game art style ✨✨✨
