Sea Skimmer Riders

Quickstart

1. Find a sea skimmer in an ocean, or use the Sea Skimmer Riders Spawn Egg from Creative inventory. With cheats enabled, you can also summon one with /summon com_sea_skimmer_riders_rtmayvlk:mycustom.
2. Hold seagrass and use it on an adult sea skimmer to tame it.
3. Use the interact button on your tamed ray to mount it. Steer with your usual movement controls; while moving, aim clearly upward to rise or downward to dive.
4. Explore underwater while riding: you receive Water Breathing for as long as you stay mounted.

Overview

Sea Skimmer Riders adds a rideable manta ray. Sea skimmers spawn naturally in ocean biomes, at the surface or underwater, usually alone or in pairs. They swim underwater and flop toward water if stranded on land.

What It Adds

• A sea skimmer with 20 health and two randomly chosen appearance variants.
• A spawn egg for summoning the ray in Creative.
• Taming, riding, breeding, and baby-growth interactions.

How To Use

• Tame: Use seagrass on an adult. Taming succeeds on the first use.
• Mount: Interact with a tamed ray. It carries one player; crouch to avoid mounting when interacting.
• Steer: Use movement controls to travel. Aim upward or downward while moving to gently ascend or dive.
• Water Breathing: The effect is applied while riding, not merely for taming the ray.
• Keep one nearby: Unnamed rays can disappear when all players are more than 40 blocks away. Give a ray a name with a name tag to keep it from this distance despawn.

Crafting And Obtaining

There are no recipes for this mod. Find sea skimmers in oceans, use the Creative spawn egg, or summon one with /summon com_sea_skimmer_riders_rtmayvlk:mycustom when cheats are enabled.

Abilities And Mechanics

Sea skimmers swim freely underwater. Out of water, they flop and try to find water. Tamed rays can carry one player and provide Water Breathing while ridden.

Feed kelp to two sea skimmers to breed them. Babies grow into adults over time; feeding them kelp speeds up growth. Use a golden dandelion on a baby to stop it from growing up.

Progression And Strategy

Find an adult, tame it with seagrass, then ride it through the ocean to explore underwater without needing to surface for air. Name a ray you want to keep before leaving it behind.
