Abyssal Lifeworlds
Quickstart
Craft a Lifeform Scanner at a crafting table:
Take it to an ocean and look directly at a Reef Peeper, Reef Stalker, or Abyssal Leviathan within 14 blocks. Use the scanner to catalogue the creature. Scan all three species to complete your field guide and earn bonus biomass samples. In Creative, you can also use the creatures’ spawn eggs to find them quickly.
Overview
Abyssal Lifeworlds brings three Subnautica-inspired aquatic creatures and a simple scanning-and-collecting loop to Minecraft. Explore oceans, catalogue the creatures with your scanner, and gather Biomass Samples from scans or creature drops.
What It Adds
| Content | Where to find it | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Reef Peeper | Ocean biomes; often swims in groups | Small, skittish fish that flees from players. |
| Reef Stalker | Non-frozen oceans, around Y=0–64 | A dangerous predator that can attack players. Adults can be bribed with fish or salmon; babies can be fed either to grow. |
| Abyssal Leviathan | Ocean biomes, from Y=-64 to Y=24 | A large, powerful predator that attacks players, squids, and axolotls. |
| Lifeform Scanner | Crafting table | Catalogues the three creatures when you use it while looking at one. |
| Biomass Sample | Scanning creatures or creature drops | A collectible sample that can also be used as furnace fuel. |
How to Use
Hold the Lifeform Scanner and use it while aiming at one of the three creatures. The action bar reports whether the creature was catalogued, whether it was already in your guide, and your progress out of three species.
The first scan of each species gives 1 Biomass Sample. Scanning an already-catalogued species does not give another scan reward. Completing the guide gives a one-time bonus of 4 additional samples.
If the scanner reports that no catalogued lifeform is in range, aim directly at one of the three mod creatures and move closer.
Crafting and Obtaining
The Lifeform Scanner recipe uses 3 iron ingots, 1 redstone, 2 glass panes, and 1 prismarine shard.
Biomass Samples can also be collected from creatures:
- Reef Peepers drop 1–2 samples.
- Reef Stalkers may drop 1–2 samples or a bone.
- Abyssal Leviathans drop 3–6 samples. They may also drop prismarine shards, fish, or prismarine crystals.
A Biomass Sample burns for 4 seconds as furnace fuel. In Creative, look for the creatures’ spawn eggs to place them directly.
Abilities and Mechanics
- Reef Peepers avoid nearby players and tend to flock together.
- Reef Stalkers can swim alongside players, but may become hostile. Keep them in water; they can dry out on land. Fish or salmon can be used to bribe adults and feed babies.
- Abyssal Leviathans are especially dangerous at close range. Give one plenty of room while scanning or exploring.
Progression and Strategy
Start with Reef Peepers in an ocean to learn how the scanner works, then search non-frozen waters for Reef Stalkers. The Abyssal Leviathan can appear at lower ocean elevations, so approach carefully and scan from a safe distance. Collect samples from new scans as well as creature drops to build up a supply.
