Add New Hostile Ocean Mob: Coral Eels

under review

You should add a colorful, vicious mob that spawns in coral reef biomes.  The eel could come in different colors that blend in with the coral blocks.  Will attack players and fish.  Drops raw eel upon death, and when cooked, it grants the player sharp underwater vision and hunger saturation.

The ocean really needs more hostile mobs than just Drowned and the monument-exclusive Guardians.  This mob could be a native danger that could be found in an curiosity-driving ocean biome.

  Cool!  Maybe they could have burrows/dens, you could raid it for caviar.

  I love the idea of eels in minecraft, they would be a rarely nice, unique ocean mob (unlike the drowned which i do like but are just zombie variants), i especially like the idea of deep sea eels and changed/ electric eels that could be rarer but much more dangerous.

  - these are some screenshots from a datapack i'm working on

  Maybe they can have different variations for different biomes, green-ish for kelp forests and bright and colourful for coral

  Also, Two different Moray Eels! They'd have the holes on their necks to prevent waves in the water,(when lunging at prey) one type would have more of a beak (To eat algae and such), and the other a jaw with sharp teeth, as well as the inner jaw that pulls the prey down their troat. I think they should be like wolves where they're neutral until provoked! Along with Grouper fish for them to hunt with.

  Maybe they should be distinguishable by coloration, trying to do fine details in Minecraft doesn't yield the best results

  This is an amazing idea. Minecraft really needs more hostile mobs in the ocean.

  I like this idea but they would be too rare if only found in coral reefs. I suggest adding them to underwater ravines and caves as well

  That would be so cool! I think that Minecraft has a new rule where they don’t create hostile mobs which are based on real creatures, so it might have to be named something else and given some fantasy aspects

  Maybe it would have a 15% chance of being electric, so the player might still get hurt even if the eel isn't touching them directly. Maybe electric shock could be an effect similar to poison.

  Why is it that Minecraft hasn’t added this yet!? This would be a great addition, hopefully soon. If we’re lucky, we might see it 1.18.
