Blue Depths Wiki

Spawning

Rivers have received a major upgrade in terms on what aquatic mobs spawn inside them. The way these new mobs spawn is by randomly replacing a specific vanilla mob that naturally spawn. For the case of rivers, the salmon is the mob that has a chance to be replaced by the new Blue Depths mobs. Below shows a table of the chance of a salmon being replaced by a Blue Depths mob:

Ecosystem Details

Rivers have received a huge upgrade with Blue Depths installed. What used to only contain 2 aquatic mobs now has a total of 7 new and unique aquatic mobs.

Ambient Mobs

The new ambient mobs that add more diversity to rivers are the Catfish and Largemouth Bass. These mobs add more atmosphere to rivers, and are relatively common as well. This way, rivers aren't majorly populated by salmon and the occasional squid.

Utility Mobs

Rivers also contain the epicly rare Sturgeon. They not only serve as a new weird looking mob for players to discover, but they can drop Sturgeon Scute, which can be processed to make the Armorbite that can give players resistance for 3 minutes. These scute can only be processed by using the Deep Blue Grill.

Predatory/Hostile Mobs

Rivers have also become significantly more dangerous with the addition of the Archerfish and the Bull Shark. Although the archerfish cannot kill the player in most cases (unless the player is on extremely low health) and does not actively hunt down the player, it can do knockback with it's spit attack.

The real danger comes from the Bull Shark. Although they are smaller and deal less damage than the Great White Shark, they are much more likely to attack the player unprovoked, and can be easily angered if the player sticks too close to them for too long.
