Piranhas

A hostile mob, piranhas would feed on any living thing that enters the water.  They would be found in rivers inside the jungle biome.  Piranhas would create yet another great challenge for players to conquer! If you want an immersive experience added to a Minecraft such as this, then please vote!

    Piranhas mostly just eat smaller fish, and only rarely eat large things. Even then, that is only in huge schools. An individual fish would not attack you, and if it did, it would do virtually nothing. Maybe they rarely come in large groups, and those groups attack whatever mob enters the water first.

    Piranhas don't actually behave aggressively unless it is mating time for them. Also, they have a bad rep, similar to sharks, so they aren't likely to be added. Basically, this is a hostile axolotl.

    I think it would be a cool and interesting addition.

    They just need to add 2 mechanics:

    1. They only attack if there's a large enough amount of them in one group

    2. They only attack if the player has gotten damaged recently and has a less than certain amount of health
