Hybrid Aquatic + Starcatcher Compatibility

Bring Hybrid Aquatic’s fish back into Starcatcher. 🎣🐠

This addon restores and expands compatibility between Hybrid Aquatic and Starcatcher V3, giving Hybrid Aquatic fish proper Starcatcher integration.

Catch them, catalog them, display them, hunt for golden variants, and complete a dedicated Hybrid Aquatic collection.

🌊 Hybrid Aquatic Compatibility Returns to Starcatcher!

Starcatcher V3 introduced major changes to its fishing and difficulty systems, which meant older Hybrid Aquatic compatibility was no longer available.

This addon is built specifically to reconnect the two mods for Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge.

Instead of simply making the fish obtainable, the goal is to make Hybrid Aquatic feel like it naturally belongs inside Starcatcher.

🐟 A New Collection to Hunt Down

Hybrid Aquatic’s fish are given their own Starcatcher fishing data, with different conditions and difficulty profiles depending on the species.

Some may be simple catches.

Others might require the right location, conditions, or a little more skill.

Your catches are tracked through Starcatcher just like its native fish.

🏆 Catch Them All!

For players who want to catch them all, the addon includes a custom-made trophy.

Catch every Hybrid Aquatic fish and prove you’ve completed this addon!

♒ Give Your Best Catches a Proper Home

Your catches don’t have to stay hidden in an inventory.

Every Hybrid Aquatic fish can be displayed through Starcatcher’s aquarium system, including custom-made animations for each fish.

But the compatibility goes beyond just displaying fish.

This addon also adds support for Hybrid Aquatic corals inside Starcatcher aquariums, along with custom aquarium substrates, letting you decorate your tanks with blocks and materials that better match Hybrid Aquatic’s underwater style.

That means you can build aquariums that feel much closer to real Hybrid Aquatic habitats — whether you want to show off your rarest catches, your biggest specimens, or just create a beautiful custom tank.

🌟 And Yes, They Can Be Golden

Collectors can also hunt for Golden Hybrid Aquatic fish through Starcatcher’s golden fish system.

Because apparently catching the normal version wasn’t enough.

✨ There’s Even More to Discover

There are still plenty of smaller integrations, details, and surprises built into the addon that aren’t listed here.

Rather than spoil everything, some of the fun is discovering how Hybrid Aquatic and Starcatcher interact for yourself while you play.

This release is currently in beta, so you may run into bugs, visual issues, or other unexpected behavior.

Expect things to keep getting refined as compatibility expands and more features are added

Updates:

🪝0.3 — Hooked Up

Hybrid Aquatic hooks now work with Starcatcher fishing rods, including support for the original effects of the Barbed, Glowing, Magnetic, Creeper Magnet, and Ominous Hooks.

Karkinos also gets a custom Starcatcher boss-style fishing encounter when caught using the Ominous Hook.

🌊0.4 — TIDEying Up

Added optional Tide 2 compatibility that removes duplicate Tide fish from Starcatcher in favor of the Hybrid Aquatic versions.

TIDEying Up can be enabled or disabled through the mod’s config menu, and currently affects Tuna, Mahi-mahi, Mackerel, Coelacanth, and Carp.

🌿0.5 — Growing Up

Sea Lettuce and Red Algae can now be grown into their taller forms using bone meal, while Bull Kelp, Sargassum, Delesseria, and vanilla Kelp can be extended upward by repeatedly bonemealing the lowest section of the plant making building custom aquariums much easier.

📦 Requirements

This is a compatibility addon and does not work by itself. Required:

• Starcatcher 3.0+
• Hybrid Aquatic 1.7.0+
• Their required dependencies

⚠️ Important

This addon does not replace either mod.

It only provides compatibility between them.

You still need both Starcatcher and Hybrid Aquatic installed.

❤️ Credits

This addon exists because of the work put into both original mods.
