Aquamirae adds a frozen ocean biome to Minecraft Java, layering the Ice Maze labyrinth over a sunken Ship Graveyard guarded by the ghost captain Cornelia. It runs on Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt at 1.21.1, while the Forge build stays a full major version behind at 1.20.1. Both the client and the server need it installed.
What Aquamirae adds to Minecraft
The Ice Maze sits above the water as a carved labyrinth of frozen corridors and collapsed camps. Beneath it, the Ship Graveyard holds abandoned wrecks, hidden chambers, and the abyssal creatures that emerge from under the ice. Cornelia, the ghostly captain who guards the graveyard's heart, fights with fluid animation-driven attacks built on GeckoLib. The biome also drops unique weapons, armor sets, and trinkets, with full config support for tuning generation, difficulty, and loot. Players exploring other ocean-focused mods like YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments will find Aquamirae adds an entirely new biome rather than reworking vanilla structures.
How to install Aquamirae
Aquamirae needs two required dependencies for the same loader, or it will not load.
- GeckoLib, the animation library that drives Aquamirae's creatures
- Fragmentum, the shared framework behind Obscuria's cross-platform mods
Loader and version support
- Fabric: current release reaches Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge: current release reaches Minecraft 1.21.1
- Quilt: current release reaches Minecraft 1.21.1
- Forge: current release reaches Minecraft 1.20.1, a full major version behind the other three loaders
Forge's 1.20.1 build is the one to install if you want a stable release. A newer 1.20.1 Forge beta is also available, but it has not been promoted to release, so it carries the usual beta caveats rather than a version bump.

Questions about Aquamirae.
5 questions
How do I install Aquamirae?
Download Aquamirae, GeckoLib, and Fragmentum for the same loader from Modrinth, then place all three jars in the mods folder. Aquamirae requires both dependencies to load, and since it needs both the client and the server, install the same three files on any server you run it on.
Does Aquamirae work with Forge?
Yes, but the Forge build lags behind. Forge's current release tops out at Minecraft 1.20.1, while Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt all reach 1.21.1. A newer 1.20.1 Forge beta exists, but the stable release stays a full major version behind the other three loaders.
Which Minecraft version does Aquamirae support?
Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt currently support Minecraft 1.21.1. Forge's stable release supports 1.20.1. The project has shipped versions going back to 1.16.5, so older worlds have coverage, but each loader's current release only reaches its own ceiling.
Do I need GeckoLib and Fragmentum to run Aquamirae?
Yes, both are required dependencies, not optional add-ons. GeckoLib powers the mod's animated creatures, and Fragmentum is the shared framework Obscuria's mods run on. Aquamirae will not load without both installed for the same loader.
Does Aquamirae work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. Aquamirae requires the mod on both the client and the server, along with GeckoLib and Fragmentum on each side. A server missing any of the three will fail to load the world's Aquamirae content correctly.
