Defeat a FlounderFest, a multi-wave event containing multiple powerful fish, and earn just as powerful rewards, including the exclusive Frogmobile!
A little video I made to showcase the chaos of Flutter & Flounder.

Start a FlounderFest using a Prismarine Diamond, a special diamond encased with prismarine. Once a FlounderFests starts, you and nearby players will have 100 seconds to kill as many boss fish as possible. Be careful, however, as you have a quota to meet. You must kill a minimum amount of boss fish for the event to continue, otherwise things won't turn out well for you... You must win 3 waves before you are considered victorious.
The quota is the minimum amount of boss fish you need to defeat before the time is up. Once the timer is up, should you and fellow players have met quota, the next wave with a higher quota begins. The quota will scale depending on the amount of players nearby.
The Frogmobile is the ultimate reward. It is crafted using Prismarine Pearls, which are gathered by playing FlounderFests. Obtaining Prismarine Pearls is very strict, requiring you to do very well in a FlounderFest. For the best chances of getting some, making it to wave 3 is pretty much required.
The Frogmobile moves very fast, and even has a jetpack! You can enable the jetpack by jumping like you would on a horse. The strength of the jump doesn't do anything.
Beyond the Frogmobile, there are other rewards which aren't nearly as strict. They are the following.

- FlounderFest Coffee (2 min of speed and haste)

There are a couple recipes found in Flutter & Flounder that you will want to know.
There are many bosses in a FlounderFest.
All Bosses
- Cod Automobile, a cod who is in a car and doesn't take knockback.
- Clown Cod, a cod who summons in goons, who will target random players and deal insane amounts of damage.
- Hammer Cod, a cod who has a giant hammer and will deal lots of damage.
- Coffee Cod, a cod who will give all nearby boss fish a speed boost.
- Chill Cod, a cod who will freeze nearby players.
- Salmon Ship, a salmon on a ship who will wait for a player to run beneath its ship before dropping, dealing lots of damage.
- Salmon Sniper, a salmon who holds a salmon who shoots a LOT of arrows.
- Whacker Salmon, a salmon with a punching glove who will deal a good chunk of damage and a lot of knockback.
This mod was made for ModFest 1.20! The theme was "Sky And Sea"
There are some commands and gamerules to help with server management and testing.
The /flounderfest command allows you to start and stop a FlounderFest, and a few other testing options. Notable usage of the FlounderFest commands include:
/flounderfest start [<quota>] [<maxEnemies>]- Start a FlounderFest with an optional quota and enemy count. Set the max enemies to "-1" for infinite enemies to spawn during the timer./flounderfest stop- Stops a nearby FlounderFest if one is found.
endFlounderFestWhenAllPlayersAreDead <true/false>- If true, a FlounderFest will end when all involved players are dead at the same time. Enabling this makes FlounderFests very difficult, but also way more fun. Defaulted to true.flounderFestMaxEnemies <int>- Allows you to set the amount of enemies(e.g. Flying Cod and Flying Salmon) at once. Defaulted to 30.flounderFestMaxBosses <int>- Allows you to set the amount of bosses(e.g. Hammer Cod, Salmon Sniper, Clown Cod, etc.) at once. Defaulted to 15.
This mod pulls a lot of inspiration from various sources. I figured I would provide credit to them so you can check them out as well!
This entire mod's core gameplay mechanics are heavily inspired by Splatoon 3's Salmon Run gamemode. It is a lot of fun, very chaotic, and overall a very well-designed gamemode.
The term "FlounderFest" comes from a Mario Kart Wii YouTube series by the same name, "FlounderFest"! It is one of my favorite YouTube series, and I have lots of fun memories watching it. Unfortunately, it ended a few years ago, but there are over 2 years of unique content to watch if you want to check it out!
