Frequently asked questions

How do I make my first tank?
Place a tank block down and right-click it with an empty hand to open the manager menu. From there you can select a biome and start customizing your habitat, or connect multiple tank blocks together first to create a larger enclosure.
Can I catch animals with my bare hands?
No, you need to use the special net item included with the mod to catch wild animals. Once caught, you can place them in your tank by right-clicking the glass with the captured creature.
What's the easiest way to add fish to an aquarium?
Right-click the tank glass with a bucket of fish or a spawn egg to instantly add creatures without needing to catch them first. This is the fastest method if you already have the items.
Why does my tank look empty after I set a biome?
The biome generates the terrain and blocks, but you may need to add water manually using the water level adjustment feature, or add animals using spawn eggs or the manager menu to populate it.
How many tank blocks can I connect together?
Avoid connecting more than 10 tank blocks together to keep your game running smoothly, as larger structures can impact performance.
Can I go inside my tank?
Yes, shift-right click on the glass to shrink down and enter the tank. When you're ready to leave, hold Shift for a few seconds to exit and return to normal size.
How do I make a big animal fit in a small tank?
Use the resize feature to shrink animals down to fit your tank perfectly. You can adjust their size individually through the manager menu.
Can I put dangerous mobs like creepers in a tank?
Yes, the mod lets you capture and contain any animal or monster, including dangerous creatures. Just make sure your tank is secure before adding hostile mobs.
Do modded biomes and creatures work in tanks?
Yes, the mod supports custom biomes including modded cave systems and biomes from other mods, so you can create diverse habitats with content from your modpack.
What happens if I break a tank block with animals inside?
Breaking a tank will likely release or destroy the creatures inside, so make sure your habitat is complete before adding animals you want to keep.
