About:

Sea Dwellers is a mod made by youtuber NoCube to fix ocean emptiness with new randomly generated underwater villages, owned by Mermorphs, the bizzare fish-like folk, who love shiny gems. Explore the oceans, enjoy the underwater adventure!

Official Mod Video (Pre-2.0.0 Version):

Features:

 Sea Villages arethe new procedurally generated module-based structure, which can contain both living houses, warehouses, ruins or decorative buildings - it's all up to random. These can be found in any type of Minecraft ocean biomes at depth 13 or more blocks down from sea level. Sea village is the only and main place, where Mermorphs live. There are chests with treasures located there, some of them are hidden. Loot in chests are based on vanilla loottables, so fully compatible with any other modded items, that should spawn in vanilla dungeon chests!

Mermorphs are the fish-like folks who live in sea villages. They can breathe underwater and are completely immune to tridents due to their magic scales. Most of the time they are chilling on the sea bottom or in their houses, but sometimes swim around. They are friendly to all sea creatures and players. Mermorphs are unable to live on the surface for too long, and will die eventually as most sea creatures. When mermorph is dying on surface, you will see some drying particles instead of regular bubbles.
The appearance of the mermorph villagers denotes their occupation:

  • Green with cyan fins - Storekeeper
  • Turquoise with obsidian gear - Blacksmith
  • Brown with blue fins - Farmer
  • Purple with pink fins - Hunter
  • Dull Green with beard - Architect

Wild Mermorphs appear in a variety of ocean types and are not tied to a house. They can despawn unlike those that live in villages. They are divided into 4 types, which determines their appearance. The Yellow and Orange populate the Warm Ocean corals, the Polar variant appears in the Cold and Deep Cold Ocean, and the Red variant appears in the Rivers. Due to their appearance and non-glowing eyes, wild mermorphs are much harder to be spotted among the corals and algae. They don't have unique trades, and will buy prismarine, diamonds and lapis same, as unemployed mermorph. They can be turned into a village mermorphs by using the Gift of the Sea. A lightning strike can also turns them into a vanilla villager.

Villager Morphing is a simple mechanic, that is used to turn vanilla villagers into mermorphs! Use splash water breathing potion on a villager, then give it one Heart of the Sea. If your the villager is submerged in water, or stands under a rain, it will turn into a mermorph with random job. Villagers cannot turn into a wild variant of mermorph. This also will not work if villager is baby!

This process can be reverted, if lightning bolt strikes a mermorph. It works not only on village mermorphs, but also on wild ones. This means that you have an alternate way to replenish your villages with villagers without searching for zombies.

Trading is one of important mechanics of the mod. It works very similar to vanilla piglin barter. Give some shiny stuff to a fish-folk, and they will think, if they can give something to you is excange.

Aquamarine is the main currency in the mod. It can be obtained from Trading with Mermorphs or killing the Drowned. To start off trading, try giving some diamonds, lapis lazuli, prismarine shards or prismarine crystals to Storekeeper or Wild Mermorphs. In return, they will give you treasure boxes that you can open to get valuables and Aquamarines. Once you have obtained these blue gems, give them to any village mermorph (except storekeeper) to obtain much more valuable and rare resources associated with their jobs.
