A creature mod that adds the Great White Shark to Hytale's oceans. Features neutral behavior that turns aggressive when provoked, with 200 HP and 40 damage bites.
The apex predator of the deep arrives in Hytale with Ben’s Sharks, bringing the fearsome Great White Shark to the game’s oceans with realistic behavior and impressive stats.
What Does This Mod Do?
Ben’s Sharks introduces the Great White Shark to Hytale, a mod that transcends blocky game boundaries to implement sharks wherever its author lands. This Hytale Edition brings the same quality and attention to detail that made the Minecraft version popular.
The Great White Shark features neutral behavior similar to the vanilla Hammerhead Shark, but with a key difference: it will attack players who provoke it or venture too close. This creates tense, realistic ocean encounters where awareness is key to survival.
The Great White Shark
Physical Description
The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) possesses a robust, torpedo-shaped body with a pointed snout and large, triangular serrated teeth designed for tearing flesh. Its dark gray skin on top and white underneath creates counter-shading that helps it blend into the ocean from both above and below.
Its powerful jaws, strong build, and crescent-shaped tail make it an apex predator known for bursts of speed and force.
Behavior
- Neutral Aggro: The shark will not attack on sight but responds to provocation
- Proximity Trigger: Getting too close will trigger aggressive behavior
- Based on Hidden Mechanics: Uses an old Hammerhead Shark behavior that was hidden in the Early Access files
Stats
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 200 HP |

Key Features
Realistic Behavior

High-Quality Model
The shark features detailed modeling that fits Hytale’s aesthetic while maintaining biological accuracy.
